Missing dependencies

Mod requires Fabric API but it is not installed

What the log looks like

requires (?:any version of )?fabric(?:-?api)?, which is missing
requires any version of mod 'fabric'
fabric api[^\n]{0,60}(?:is )?(?:not installed|missing)

How to fix it

  1. Download Fabric API for the exact Minecraft version you are launching
  2. Put the Fabric API jar in the same mods folder, do not rename it
  3. Fabric API is one jar per Minecraft version — a 1.20.1 build will not load on 1.21
