What Mod Menu does

Fabric does not have a built-in mod list. Without Mod Menu, you install a JAR and hope it loaded. Mod Menu gives you a screen that lists every installed mod, shows its version, and provides access to its config screen if the mod supports one.

For players running large Fabric modpacks, this is essential. Without it, you cannot tell which mods are loaded, which versions you have, or which mods are outdated.

What it provides

  • Mod list — every installed Fabric mod with name, version, and description.
  • Config access — open a mod's config screen directly from the list if the mod supports it.
  • Update checker — uses the JAR hash to look up the latest version on Modrinth .
  • Search and filter — find mods by name in large packs.

Installation

  1. Install Fabric for your Minecraft version.
  2. Download the Mod Menu JAR from CurseForge for your Fabric version [citation:1].
  3. Place it in the mods folder.
  4. Launch the game. A "Mods" button appears on the main menu and in the pause menu.
Fabric only: Mod Menu is a Fabric mod. Forge and NeoForge have their own built-in mod list, so Mod Menu is not needed (and will not work) on those loaders.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mod Menu work on Forge?
No. Mod Menu is Fabric-only. Forge and NeoForge have a built-in mod list accessible from the main menu.
Why does the update checker not work?
The update checker relies on the JAR hash matching a project on Modrinth . If the mod is not on Modrinth, or if you modified the JAR, the check will fail. It does not affect the mod list itself.
Can I configure mods without Mod Menu?
Yes, but you would need to find the config file manually. Mod Menu provides a shortcut to the config screen if the mod includes one. Without Mod Menu, you edit the config file in a text editor.
