Which Minecraft version and loader it works with
Every world has its own Minecraft version and loader (vanilla, Fabric, Forge or NeoForge).
To play with BetterF3, create your world with any of these combos:
| Loader | Newest | Minecraft versions |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | 26.3 | 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2 and 37 more (oldest: 1.16) |
| NeoForge | 26.3 | 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2 and 19 more (oldest: 1.20.2) |
| Forge | 1.21.1 | 1.21.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.3 and 19 more (oldest: 1.16) |
Does it go on the server or on players' games?
BetterF3 is a client-only mod: it doesn't run on the server. Each player installs it in their own Minecraft if they want it. Add it in the panel as "Players only" and it ships inside everyone's modpack.
| Where | Per Modrinth |
|---|---|
| Server | not supported |
| Players | required |
| What the panel suggests | Players only |
What other mods it needs
The latest version of BetterF3 (NeoForge) needs these mods. No need to hunt them down: the panel adds them for you.
How to add BetterF3 to your server
- Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, NeoForge and Forge, per the table above), or open one you already have.
- In the world's "Mods" section, search for BetterF3 in the Modrinth catalog. You'll only see what works with your world.
- Add it with the "Players only" option, the one the panel suggests for this mod.
- Start or restart the server so it installs along with its dependencies.
- Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.

Frequently asked questions
Which loader and Minecraft version does BetterF3 work with?
BetterF3 has versions for Fabric: 1.16 to 26.3 (40 versions); NeoForge: 1.20.2 to 26.3 (22 versions); Forge: 1.16 to 1.21.1 (22 versions). You pick the loader and version when you create your world; the newest option is NeoForge on Minecraft 26.3. The panel's catalog only shows BetterF3 if it has a version for your world.
Do players have to install BetterF3?
BetterF3 is a client-only mod: it doesn't run on the server. Each player installs it in their own Minecraft if they want it. Add it in the panel as "Players only" and it ships inside everyone's modpack.
What other mods does BetterF3 need?
Its latest version (NeoForge) requires Cloth Config API. No need to hunt them down: the panel installs them automatically when you add BetterF3, in the version that matches your world.
Is it worth adding BetterF3 to the server if it's client-only?
Yes, as a convenience. It does nothing on the server, but if you add it as "Players only", it ships inside the .mrpack modpack and everyone gets it without searching. It uses no server resources.
