Mods & Plugins

Sep 12, 2024

Fabric, like Minecraft Forge, is a server type that allows you to run mods on your Minecraft server. While less popular than Forge, Fabric still allows for a vast range of mods to be installed; this includes those centered around server performance improvement without heavily modifying vanilla features, which is something you can't get from Spigot or Paper as they modify vanilla behaviors to provide greater performance.

Creating a Fabric Server Instance

The Shockbyte Panel allows server owners to store up to 3 unique server instances by default. We will be using this feature to create a new server instance with Fabric installed.

Step 1:

Step 3:

Click the Create New Instance button

Click the Create New Instance button to start creating a new server type and server instance / server profile for your server
Step 4:

Select Fabric as your server type, then select your desired version

Step 5:

Step 6:

Review your new server instance setup then click finish to confirm the new information

Swapping Server Instances

After creating a new Server Instance with your desired server type installed, you will need to change your active instance in order to use it.

Step 1:

Open your server's control panel

That's it! Once your server is accessible again, you will be able to play using your brand new Fabric instance.
