Minecraft      : Java Edition 1.21.1  (the paid Java edition)
Mod loader     : Fabric 1.21.1

##########################################################
#  !!! USE MINECRAFT 1.21.1 - NOT THE NEWEST VERSION !!! #
##########################################################
The #1 mistake: installing Fabric for the NEWEST Minecraft (e.g. 26.1.2).
The mods ONLY work on 1.21.1. If you pick any other version you will get
"mods are incompatible / wrong version present" and it WONT launch.
-> In the installer / launcher, MANUALLY choose Minecraft 1.21.1.
-> Java fixes itself: 1.21.1 uses Java 21 automatically (newer versions
   use Java 25, which the mods reject). Just pick 1.21.1 and youre fine.

You MUST install these mods to join. Pick EASY or MANUAL.

----------------------------------------
EASIEST — Prism Launcher / Modrinth App  (recommended)
----------------------------------------
1. Install Prism Launcher (prismlauncher.org) OR the Modrinth App.
2. New instance: Minecraft 1.21.1, Loader = Fabric.
3. Open the instance "mods" folder, copy ALL .jar files from this
   pack "mods" folder into it.
4. Launch -> Multiplayer -> Add Server -> mc.bygelo.com -> Join.

----------------------------------------
MANUAL — official Minecraft launcher
----------------------------------------
1. Install Java 21+ (adoptium.net) so you can run the installer.
2. Double-click  fabric-installer.jar   (or: java -jar fabric-installer.jar)
     -> "Client" tab
     -> *** CHANGE the "Minecraft Version" dropdown to 1.21.1 ***
        (it DEFAULTS to the newest version - you MUST change it!)
     -> Install.
   This adds a "fabric-loader-1.21.1" profile to your launcher.
   In the launcher Play screen, pick the "fabric-loader-1.21.1" profile
   (NOT "Latest release"). If it mentions Java, leave the Java path blank
   so it uses the bundled Java 21.
3. Open your mods folder (create it if missing):
     Windows : Win+R ->  %appdata%\.minecraft\mods
     Mac     : ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
4. Copy ALL .jar files from this pack "mods" folder into that folder.
5. Minecraft launcher -> pick the "fabric-loader-1.21.1" profile -> Play.
6. Multiplayer -> Add Server -> mc.bygelo.com -> Join.

----------------------------------------
!! FIRST THING AFTER YOU JOIN — LOG IN !!
----------------------------------------
The server is password-protected (you cant move until you log in).
- FIRST time ever:   type in chat ->  /register <password> <password>
                     (pick your own password, type it twice)
- EVERY time after:  type in chat ->  /login <password>
You have 60 seconds to do this or you get kicked. Your password protects
your name so no one can impersonate you. (You stay logged in for 24h, so
quick reconnects skip this.)

----------------------------------------
What is inside (mods/)
----------------------------------------
REQUIRED (must match the server):
  fabric-api, fabric-kotlin, cobblemon, voicechat
MAPS:
  xaeros-minimap  (corner map)   +   xaeros-worldmap  (full map, press M)
QUALITY OF LIFE:
  jade            - look at a block/Pokemon to see info
  appleskin       - shows food saturation / hunger
  modmenu         - in-game mod settings (Esc -> Mods)   [+ placeholder-api]
  zoomify         - hold the zoom key to zoom            [+ yacl]
PERFORMANCE (smooth FPS, less lag):
  sodium, lithium, ferritecore, modernfix,
  entityculling, immediatelyfast, dynamicfps

----------------------------------------
VOICE CHAT (proximity)
----------------------------------------
- Simple Voice Chat - you hear people near you in-game.
- First join: click the headset icon (bottom-right) or press V to open
  voice settings and pick your microphone + push-to-talk key.
- Connects automatically through mc.bygelo.com.

Tips:
- Give the instance ~4GB RAM for best results.
- EVERYONE must use 1.21.1 + these exact mods, or it wont connect.
- Cant connect? Make sure you launched the FABRIC profile, not vanilla.
- Configure any mod via Esc -> Mods (Mod Menu).

Have fun!  —  bygelo.com Cobblemon SMP
