How to install Trinkets
Trinkets supports Fabric and Quilt; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Fabric and Quilt for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1 and 1.21.1).
- 2As a Fabric-family mod, make sure Fabric API is installed for the same version, since most Fabric mods rely on it.
- 3Drop the Trinkets .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and make sure every connecting player has it too.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Trinkets appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and any library requirements.
Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.
