Verified files
Every file lists its SHA-256 hash. Compare it to your download to confirm the file is unchanged.
Verified Minecraft downloads
Check the SHA-256 hash of every file before you run it. Each download lists its version, supported Minecraft release, and size so you know exactly what you are installing.
Why here
Every file lists its SHA-256 hash. Compare it to your download to confirm the file is unchanged.
No payment, no sign-up, and no account. Pick a client and download it in one click.
Each download page lists exactly what else to install. Fabric API is marked wherever it is required.
Step-by-step instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux, written for players rather than developers.
Catalog
Search, filter by loader or Minecraft version, and check the details before you download. Check each file's type on its card before you install it.
Guide
Three steps from download to launch. Launchers and .exe files do not go in the mods folder. Follow the note on their card.
Use the official launcher to install Fabric, then add Fabric API to the same profile.
Check the SHA-256 hash, then move a Fabric .jar into the mods folder of that profile. Do not unzip it.
Open the launcher, select the profile you just set up, and press Play.

Questions
They are third-party modified Minecraft clients and launchers. They are not made, endorsed, or supported by Mojang or Microsoft.
Only download from this site, check the SHA-256 hash against the one on the card, and scan the file with antivirus before you run it. A matching hash proves the file is unchanged, not that it is harmless.
Yes. Servers can ban players who use modified clients, and some ban on detection alone. Use them entirely at your own risk.
Each client's key is listed on its details page, and it is usually Right Shift.
Only for Fabric clients that list it as a requirement. Each download's requirements are on its details page.
Each card shows its file type. Mods are .jar files and go in the mods folder without unzipping. Launchers are .exe files and are run directly, as the card explains.
Install Fabric and Fabric API, place the .jar in the mods folder of the matching profile, and launch that profile.
Download the newer file, replace the old one, and keep the same Fabric and Fabric API versions.
It counts clicks, not completed downloads.
Note the file name and version, then check the file's SHA-256 hash against the one on its card.
