- This page is for Legacy Fabric only. Any information listed is not compatible or related to Fabric, Fabric API, or Cursed Fabric/Babric; They are all completely separate projects.
Legacy Fabric is a side project of Fabric made for versions before 1.14 snapshots, particularly between 1.3.2 to 1.13.2. Legacy Fabric API is required for some mods.
Not to be confused with Cursed Fabric or Babric which is Fabric on Alpha and Beta versions, along with it's APIs StationAPI (old era Cursed Fabric & current era with Babric) & Cursed Legacy API (for old era Cursed Fabric).

Background[]
There are many versions besides 1.8.9 (original framework before reworking like current status) that had been considered; Alpha, Beta, 1.2.5, 1.12.2 and 1.13.2 were previous possibilities but the final versions of each release have been considered, such as 1.0, 1.1, 1.3.2, 1.4.7, 1.5.2, 1.9.4, 1.10.2, 1.11.2. More common support goes to 1.6.4, 1.7.10, 1.12.2 and 1.8.9 versions.
Installing Legacy Fabric for 1.8.9 (or any other version via the installer or MultiMC instances to import) is the same as installing Fabric on version 1.14 and later on Mojang's launcher or MultiMC.
Installation is the same as Fabric only a Legacy Fabric Installer is required to be used as the loader versions for these are separate and unrelated to regular Fabric.

Vanilla/Java Edition/Mojang launcher[]
The Legacy Fabric API and Legacy Fabric mods are installed the same way as Fabric and belong in the mods folder of a Legacy Fabric instance or profile.

- Download the installer from the [1].

- After downloading the installer, double-click the .jar/exe file to make a window appear.
- Select settings appropriate for the experience.
- Start the vanilla launcher to confirm the loader profile has installed correctly.
- Put mods into the mods folder (separate mods from other modloaders to avoid conflict). To go to the mods folder go to the Resource Packs menu under the Options Menu in-game. Click on "Open resource pack folder" to open up Minecraft's resource pack folder. Go up one folder to .minecraft and look for the mods folder. If it doesn't exist, create the folder named mods (case-sensitive) and put the mods inside the folder. Close the unmodified game and launcher before starting the new profile.
- Launch the game. If "Fabric" appears in the bottom-left corner of the title screen it has installed correctly. Create a new world to check if mods have loaded correctly.

MultiMC launcher[]
Legacy Fabric API and Legacy Fabric mods are installed the same way as Fabric and belong in the mods folder of a Legacy Fabric instance/profile.
A capture showing Legacy Fabric installed for 1.8.9. This is a good sign it installed correctly rather than resulting in a crash.
- The player must use an existing MultiMC profile that can be downloaded and imported.

- With MultiMC is open, create a new instance with either the "Create new instance" button or right-click and select the option.
- Go to the "Import from zip" tab and import the zip file after either having downloaded it or copied the URL to the clipboard.
- Once created, place mods into the mods folder and launch the instance. If "Fabric" appears in the bottom-left corner of the title screen it has installed correctly. Create a new world to check if mods have loaded correctly.

Curseforge launcher[]
Legacy Fabric API and Legacy Fabric mods are installed the same way as Fabric and belong in the mods folder of a Legacy Fabric instance or profile. While this guide was intended for the Twitch launcher (as modpack creation has been removed from the Twitch launcher), these steps also apply to the Curseforge launcher.
Ensure that a Legacy Fabric profile on the Mojang launcher is installed first as it is required. This installation method does not have full support of modpack exports or profile retention. This tutorial differs from the regular Fabric tutorial due to the fabric and mixin.out folders not being required for this tutorial. Until a Jumploader like solution is implemented this is the only possible method currently available.
- After Legacy Fabric is installed on the Mojang launcher, go to the versions folder of the .minecraft directory; this can be accessed by clicking the "Resource packs" button in the in-game options and selecting "Open resource pack folder". Once the button is selected a folder will appear. Go up one folder to .minecraft and look for the versions folder. Unlike with 1.14+ Fabric, Legacy Fabric does not need the fabric or mixin.out folders.
- In the versions folder look for the Legacy Fabric-named folder, for example "fabric-loader-1.8.9-0.8.7+build.202006122116-1.8.9", and copy the folder.
- Have the Curseforge launcher active and select the "Create Custom Profile" option. Leave the "Current Modloader Version" box unchecked to avoid conflicts. Fabric versions cannot be selected in this dropdown list.
- Create the custom profile and let it download its files. Got to the gear/cog icon and select the "Open Folder". Once the folder has appeared, go up two folders to Twitch (or equivalent for the Curseforge launcher) and open the Install folder.
- Paste the Legacy Fabric folder from step 2 into the versions subfolder.
- Launch the launcher and check the available profiles. It does not appear after creation (showing the latest release version or the custom version the instances usually have), so go to the launcher's "Installations" tab on the launcher, create a new profile (if one has not been created) and select the Legacy Fabric version from the list. It may appear among later versions (1.8.9 Legacy Fabric among 1.16 versions).
- Add mods to the mods folder by clicking on "Open Folder" to open the file directory to the mods folder to paste the mods in, and launch the game with the Legacy Fabric version. If "Fabric" appears in the bottom-left corner of the title screen it has installed correctly. Create a new world to check if mods have loaded correctly.

Mod support[]
Legacy Fabric only supports mods and coding aspects for Legacy Fabric-supported versions, which excludes Fabric 1.14+, Forge (any), Liteloader (any) or Rift (1.13 and 1.13.2).
Some mods like Fabricated Modloader, Fabricated Legacy Forge, Fabricated Rift allow mods from other modloaders to work with Legacy Fabric. Similar to how Patchwork/Forgeworks API tried to bridge the gap but on a different scale then how those projects worked.
Mod Remapping API is required for these Fabricated modloader related projects.
Some mods on Fabric 1.14+ versions have been backported to Legacy Fabric, but players and developers should expect similar types of necessary mods ported to Legacy Fabric or new mods by new creators rather than just ports of major Fabric or Forge mods on Legacy Fabric. A list of compatible mods, libraries, and APIs can be found at the Legacy Fabric forum page and is updated frequently,[2] and release versions and updates can be viewed via the Legacy Fabric Discord.[3]

Very little coverage of Legacy Fabric is available to players. But a playlist has been made for any installation tutorials for launchers and showcasing mods available for players to see what is accessible.[4]

Trivia[]
- Legacy Fabric supports versions 1.3.2 to 1.13.2, with many mods being either original, alternatives (Surely Enough Items being a TMI/NEI clone) or ports (such as Fabric Discord Link, Punch To Prime or ViaFabric) such as Extended Hotbar from Liteloader, ChromaHUD or a 2022 1.8.8/1.8.9 Forge/Legacy Fabric port of TooManyItems.
- The original 1.8.9 mods (F3 Server Info, CraftPresence, ChromaHUD Fabric, Fabric Discord Link, Legacy Extended Hotbar, Legacy Fabric API, Mod Menu for 1.8.9, Old Block Animation, OptiFabric, Punch To Prime, Surely Enough Items, Too Many Items, ViaFabric) besides Legacy Fabric API are now outdated with current 1.8.9 Legacy Fabric builds and only work with the earliest 1.8.9 builds, but there is a modpack to play them on one of the oldest builds/archive them, which is available in a fan modpack. Mods the original 1.8.9 framework can be found also on Curseforge, while current framework ones can be found on Modrinth.
