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 Bobby, create your world with any of these combos:
| Loader | Newest | Minecraft versions |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | 26.3 | 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2 and 32 more (oldest: 1.16.2) |
Does it go on the server or on players' games?
Bobby 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
None: its latest version doesn't require any other mods on Modrinth.
How to add Bobby to your server
- Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, per the table above), or open one you already have.
- In the world's "Mods" section, search for Bobby 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.
- Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.
