Mods
Mods are widely used on Civ servers to optimize gameplay. Many use modpacks created by other players to create mods.
This page serves as a guide and showing you how to download mods for certain versions. Note that installation may be different depending on Fabric/Forge or depending on version, so please keep in mind what version you are looking for.
Forge or Fabric Installation
All mods require one of these mod loaders to run. Currently (May 2022), Fabric and Forge can't be installed together, so you have to decide which loader you want. This will impact which mods you will be able to install.
Download and install one of the two main mod loaders from their respective pages:
| 1.8 | 1.12 | 1.14 | 1.16 | 1.18 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forge | 1.8.9 | 1.12.2 | 1.14.4 | 1.16.5 | 1.18.2 |
| Fabric | Installer for all versions | ||||
| Fabric API* | 1.14.4 | 1.16.5 | 1.18.2 | ||
*Many Fabric mods also require Fabric API to be installed, so if you use Fabric, just install the corresponding Fabric API version as well.
Mods on 1.12.2 exist for Forge or Liteloader, which both can be installed together.
