# Minecraft Launcher

Please be aware that this guide will generally go over how to install the Cobblemon Mod which is the only mod required to play on the server. It's **suggested you use the Modrinth modpack** for the best experience on the server especially since they're easier installs for players.

## Installing Minecraft Launcher

Downloading the launcher is incredibly easy, and there is two ways you can actually get access to it. You can either download it directly from the website via this link: <https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download>

Or alternatively you can download it through the Xbox App / Microsoft Store: \[<https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9PGW18NPBZV5>]

<figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FFZbbhZD0QCQQsqXq494o%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=b23ebbc6-8e1e-47a1-b52a-1eda4be5bc4d" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Ex of Minecraft Launcher on Xbox App</p></figcaption></figure>

From there all you need to do is log into your Minecraft/Microsoft account to log into the launcher. This is the **same log-in** used for any other supported Minecraft launcher like Modrinth or Curseforge.

## Installing Fabric

Now that you have the Launcher installed, the next step is to download the Fabric Launcher which will act as a profile for you to chose when you want to run mods. You can **download fabric from this link**: <https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FxGgWFJhXz2QLHu9rYxoJ%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6739f1c8-02f5-4a8a-b9f4-b97d2839a87c" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Once you have opened the website, you will need to click on the **Download for Windows** which will download the Fabric Launcher directly to your computer.&#x20;

In this launcher you want to make sure you choose the **Minecraft Version** as `1.21.1` in order to have the profile compatible with the server. If you have done it correctly, it should look as it is shown in the screenshot below:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FKCTTisBNYDvT5IW4a8Qi%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2487e38f-323b-4082-8ce1-7af5c05a240a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

From there make sure you have **Create Profile ticked** and then you can choose the **Install** option. From there you can go ahead and open your **Minecraft Launcher** and you should see it state **Fabric Loader** within the launcher as shown in the screenshot below:

<figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FhptFBkHFJdn3z0VN1MR8%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=4819d149-3a15-449a-9a14-357c061a251f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can now click on **Play** which will bring up a warning. You can **confirm that you understand the risks** and this will start installing everything needed for that version of Minecraft. It will then launch Minecraft and if you have done everything right up to this point, **it will state the version of Minecraft as well as Fabric in the bottom left of the Minecraft game**.

<figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FgisGpE4120pLrMTGKJMv%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=317ffbfd-9e9b-42fc-ac8f-2c2d9d5edaff" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can now close down Minecraft, and we go ahead and start the Fabric API Mod.

## Installing Fabric API Mod

**You will also need the Fabric API Mod** in order to play Cobblemon on the server with Fabric. You can download via this link: <https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api/versions?c=release&g=1.20.1&version=1.21.1>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FQoyscVQTDMTCusDqLNel%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=de73f454-4421-40e4-99bf-e1cb436ac64b" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

From there you want to click on **Download** which will bring up a Submenu. You want to press **Select** **Game Version** and choose `1.21.1` followed by **Fabric**. If you have done everything correct, it show as it is within the screenshot below:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FtEHqLqWlrSo4G6kuxw61%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=96b2e5a2-0058-4082-9421-95e748592a0f" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This will download the **Fabric API mod** needed. You will want to **keep this for later** for when you're installing the Cobblemon Mod.

## Installing Cobblemon Mod

Now that you have the Launcher and Fabric installed, the next step is to download the **official Cobblemon mod** via this link: <https://modrinth.com/mod/cobblemon>&#x20;

If you are on the correct page, it should be similar as to what is shown below. From there you want to click on the big green **Download** button underneath the Cobblemon Icon.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FDjWD6310C10bmd0sdhlA%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=78ff25a0-00a9-4bd7-a487-4a5f1d91e0c2" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

From there you want to click on **Select** **Game Version** and choose `1.21.1` followed by **Fabric**. If you have done everything correct, it show as it is within the screenshot below:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FdlOSGEr9R8jflq5P6fFx%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=25f10d5f-6abd-494b-a619-e1130a6d8c48" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Now you can click on **Download** which will download the most recent version of Cobblemon. Please note that every time there is a **new update** you will have to **manually download the latest version** of the Mod and replace the old one.

Now that you have the Cobblemon Mod, you will want to head back into the Minecraft Launcher. Jump over to Installations and in the Fabric Profile created you want to click onto the Folder symbol which will open the Installations Folder.

Now that you are within your Installations Folder, you want to open the **Mods** folder and place both the **Cobblemon Mod** and the **Fabric API Mod** you downloaded into there. Your folder should look as shown below:

<figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FSwsVNLKO51ZnvvHbU2Qs%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=892fdb99-ee2e-4524-86dc-1c49bdf20d86" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can add anymore compatible mods you wish into this folder. Please be aware that **using any exploitable mods on the server will result in a permanent ban**.

## Play Cobblemon

Now that you have both Fabric and Cobblemon installed, the only thing you need to start doing now is playing Cobblemon. Press Play on the Minecraft Launcher to load Minecraft and click onto the Multiplayer button.&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://1136757732-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FaGML4Zd5tMQdGofzRFUX%2Fuploads%2FvOAKNBujbGrDaJGfWn3U%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6efce790-110c-44a8-8020-ad0582d4f2a7" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

From there, click onto Add Server, and enter the IP `mp.mmorealms.gg` into the Server Address bar and then make sure Server Resource Packs is on Prompt which will download the servers resource pack instantly when joining which is needed for playing on the server.

Now you click on Done which will bring up the Server within the server list. You can hover over the logo and click the **Play symbol** or **double click** to start loading into the MMO Realms server!
