+===== STEP 2 (OPTIONAL): Edit the "Game Directory" of the new Fabric Installation =====
 This step is optional. If you don't change the GAME DIRECTORY the Fabric Installation will share its saved worlds with all the other Installations that have the game directory set to default. It will also share the mods and config folder with other modded Installations you may have that have the game directory set to default, potentially making everything an absolute mess.

 The "Installation" you just created when you installed the Fabric Mod Loader contains no mods, you now may install the Fabric API, since many mods depend on it.
@@ Line 101: / Line 104: @@
 If that sounds too complicated just consider the Fabric API as just another mod that will be loaded by the Fabric Loader, and almost all Fabric mods depend on it, so this will be the first mod to install.
-Go to [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all]] and download the latest file for the version of Minecraft you selected when installing Fabric.
+Go to [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/all|CurseForge]] or [[https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api/versions|Modrinth]] and filter by your Minecraft version. Then download the latest file.

-To install Mod Menu, go to [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/modmenu|https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/modmenu]] and click on "files" and download the correct version for the Minecraft version you installed, download/copy the file to the mods folder.
+To install Mod Menu, go to its [[https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu|Modrinth]] page, click on "versions" and download the correct version for the Minecraft version you installed, then move the file to your mods folder.
+You can now browse for Fabric mods on either [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods?filter-game-version=2020709689%3A7499&filter-sort=2|CurseForge]] or [[https://modrinth.com/mods|Modrinth]]. Remember that you can filter by mod loader and game version on both websites.
-Now check out Fabric mods [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods?filter-game-version=2020709689%3A7499&filter-sort=2|here]]. Download/copy the mods to the mods folder. Again, check for MC versions in the actual file names, do not rely solely on the "Game Version" column. Usually older version mods will work fine in newer versions of MC/Fabric, for example 1.14 and 1.14.1 mods may work fine in 1.14.2 MC/Fabric, so feel free to test them out.
-Also be aware that some mods depend on other mods to work. When downloading a mod file, click on the file name, go to the bottom of the page and check out if there is a "Related Projects" entry with dependencies listed. You will have to download the mods listed as required dependencies and may also download the mods listed as optional dependencies.
+Please read [[player:tutorials:adding_mods|Installing mods]] for more information on installing mods.
