MCUpdater is a lightweight tool that helps Minecraft players and modpack developers automatically download and manage modpacks. Instead of manually placing mods into the mods folder, MCUpdater allows you to import a configuration file and handle everything with a single click. This makes it much easier to stay up to date with the latest versions of Fabric and your favorite modpacks.
Why Use Fabric with MCUpdater?
Fabric is one of the most popular modding platforms for Minecraft thanks to its performance optimizations and fast updates. By combining Fabric with MCUpdater, you get:
Automatic modpack setup – no need to manually download mods.
Version flexibility – easily pick the right Minecraft version, Fabric Loader, and Yarn mappings.
Faster updates – stay in sync with the latest Fabric ecosystem without extra steps.
Modpack development – useful for creators who want to share preconfigured setups with their community.
How to Use the Import Entry
Select your Minecraft Game Version and the Fabric Loader Version from the dropdown menus above.
Click Copy MCUpdater Import to generate the <Import> entry.
Paste this entry directly into your MCUpdater configuration file.
Launch MCUpdater and let it handle the download and setup automatically.
Notes and Recommendations
Most Fabric mods also require you to install Fabric API in the mods folder.
If you are new to modding, we recommend starting with stable versions (non-snapshot) for better compatibility.
For advanced users and modpack developers, MCUpdater is a great way to streamline testing multiple versions quickly.
