How do I install Blade & Bastion?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

Blade & Bastion

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.20.1Newest
Minecraft 1.19.3

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

UPDATE: 5/14/2025
For quite some time this project has remained dormant, but I (2To16Hobos) am happy to announce that the project has begun development! A lot of the coding is being reworked currently as I have picked up the project myself. There is frequent updates posted to the discord below! The project is NOT dead! There is more to come VERY soon. We will be looking for early alpha and beta testers for the mod! All feedback is appreciated.

FAQ:
What version is the mod: neoforge for minecraft 1.21.5
When is the expected first test to take place: I am aiming for a late may/early June beta test
Will previous version be supported: At this current moment, no. I am currently working on this project alone and it is CONSTANTLY adapting and evolving with changes and additions! Until I hit a point where I am able to take time away (and the mod is successful enough) then this will be considered.
What will be in the first test: I will be providing a private whitelisted server with a limited sized map to test the following: Nightly monster raids, player raiding, territory claiming/protection, defensive blocks (turrets, doors), and claimable "biome" generators.

Still very much a work in progress. Many features are not yet accessible outside creative mode. The default config settings are currently not very interesting at all. This is not a mod you can just drop in and play in its current state. Intended to be used for the MBD mod pack!
