 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|CurseForge]] or [[https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api/versions|Modrinth]] and download the latest file for the version of Minecraft you selected when installing Fabric.

 Be aware that CurseForge or Modrinth may not have the latest Minecraft versions, so the version indicated in the "Game Version" column may not be the real actual version of the file! Check the file name for the real Minecraft version the file is intended for.

-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 modloader and game version on both websites. 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. This is no longer the case with 1.19.x and above, however.
-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. Some mods may state what dependencies are required in the description, so make sure to read it.
+Please read [[player:tutorials:adding_mods|Installing mods]] for more information on installing mods.
