Quilt is a mod loader for Minecraft that aims to provide a better modding experience for both developers and players. Its primary focus is speed, ease of use, and modularity. It is based on Fabric, but it includes a number of features that make it more powerful and flexible. It is designed to be a more modern and flexible alternative to Forge, the current standard mod loader for Minecraft. You can get the QuiltMC download free from our website.
Why Quilt MC?
It can provide you with the following advantages over other mod loaders:
- Mods that should be more compatible with each other, despite their use of powerful modding tools
- Compatibility with Fabric mods, meaning you don’t need to stop using your favorite mods.
- An inclusive, transparent, and friendly official community that cares about social issues, has an experienced staff team and works with its users to improve over time.
Can Quilt load Fabric mods?
Many users ask about this question because they know it forked out from Fabric. The short answer is Yes, it can load Fabric mods as long as the mods don’t make use of internal Fabric APIs, you should be able to add them to your mods folder as you always have and, assuming you have the Quilted Fabric API installed (which is part of QSL), things should just work fine.
If I’m using Fabric mods, do I need Fabric API installed?
No, you don’t – in fact, the devs recommend against it for compatibility reasons. Many mods make use of the Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), which are directly incompatible with Fabric API. To deal with this problem, QSL includes a special version of Fabric API which doesn’t cause any conflicts. It’s part of the standard QSL distribution, which you can get from Modrinth.
Can Fabric load Quilt mods?
Another question asked by a lot of users. The short answer is No, Fabric cannot load them.
