- Minecraft: Java Edition 26.1
- Java 17+
- Windows (the installer is Windows-only)
Fabric Loader and Fabric API are installed automatically by the installer. You do not need to download them separately.
CloverSetup is a small installer wizard that automates the entire setup. It handles Fabric, Fabric API, and Clover Client in one go.
1. Choose folder The installer defaults to:
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\mods
You can point it at either your mods folder or the parent .minecraft folder — it figures out the rest.
2. Review Before installing, it shows you exactly what it's about to do:
- Install Fabric Loader
- Copy Fabric API into your mods folder
- Copy Clover Client into your mods folder
- Rename the Minecraft Launcher profile to Clover Launcher
3. Download & verify The installer downloads and SHA-256 verifies three files before doing anything:
| File | Version |
|---|---|
fabric-installer-1.1.1.exe |
Fabric Installer |
fabric-api-0.144.3+26.1.jar |
Fabric API |
clovermenu-7.53-MC26.1.jar |
Clover Client |
4. Fabric setup Runs the Fabric installer silently:
client -dir <minecraft-folder> -mcversion 26.1 -loader 0.18.5
It also ensures launcher_profiles.json exists and strips any UTF-8 BOM that would cause Fabric's parser to fail.
5. Rename launcher profile
Edits launcher_profiles.json to rename the Fabric profile to Clover Launcher in your Minecraft Launcher. The internal Fabric version ID is left untouched.
6. Install mods
Copies fabric-api-0.144.3+26.1.jar and clovermenu-7.53-MC26.1.jar into your mods folder.
Any older Clover or Fabric API jars are backed up to:
.minecraft\mods\_clover-installer-backup\<timestamp>
7. Finish Click Finish and Minecraft Launcher opens automatically. Select Clover Launcher and hit Play.
If you prefer to install without the setup wizard:
Requirements:
- Fabric Loader → https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/
- Fabric API → https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api
- Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.1
- Put
fabric-api-0.144.3+26.1.jarinto your mods folder - Put
clovermenu-7.53-MC26.1.jarinto your mods folder - Launch Minecraft with the Fabric profile
Mods folder locations:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %appdata%\.minecraft\mods |
| Mac | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods |

clovermenu-*.jarin your mods folder - Restart the game
Installer not working?
- Make sure you're on Windows
- Run as Administrator if you get a permissions error
- Check that Minecraft has been launched at least once so
launcher_profiles.jsonexists
Game crashing?
- Check Java version (17+)
- Make sure Fabric Loader version matches Minecraft 26.1
- Remove conflicting mods
- Check logs in
.minecraft/crash-reports/
Clover not showing up in-game?
- Confirm you launched the Clover Launcher profile, not vanilla
- Check that both
fabric-api-*.jarandclovermenu-*.jarare in your mods folder - Fabric API is required — Clover won't load without it
Low FPS?
- Allocate more RAM in your launcher settings
- Update GPU drivers
- Clover is compatible with Sodium for additional performance gains
