Manual Installation of Fabric

If you don't want to use Wabbanode's server type installer you can also manually install Fabric on your server:

  1. Download the Fabric installer from the Fabric website.
  2. Run the Fabric installer, navigate to the Server tab, and select the Minecraft version you want to install.
  3. Choose a memorable location for the server files, such as a folder on your Desktop, and click Install.
  4. After the installation, click the Download Srver Jar button to download the Vanilla server jar.
  5. Open the folder where you installed the server files and rename the fabric-server-launch.jar file to server.jar.
  6. Use an FTP client (like FileZilla) to upload the server files to your server's root directory.
  7. In the Wabbanode Control Panel, go to Settings and set Server Type to Custom JAR.
  8. Start your server.

After starting your server, a mods folder should be generated. This confirms that Fabric has been installed correctly.

By following these steps, you can easily install Fabric on your server, enhancing the gameplay experience for you and your players.
