Quilt explained
What is the Quilt mod loader?
Quilt is an open-source mod loader for Minecraft Java Edition, started in 2021 as a community-run fork of Fabric. Quilt mods are mods built for Quilt Loader, and because the loader is designed to be compatible with Fabric, most Fabric mods run on it too. That gives you the large Fabric library plus mods made only for Quilt. Quilt is Java Edition only; Bedrock Edition uses add-ons instead of mods.
Mods that depend on Fabric API need that library on Quilt as well, either as Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or as Fabric API itself. Quilt Loader adds quality-of-life details such as more readable crash reports and sub-folders inside the mods folder. In multiplayer, content mods go on the server and on every client, while server-side mods for performance, land claims or web maps only go on the server.
Lean loader, fast startup
Like Fabric, Quilt keeps the loader lightweight, so the game and the server start quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Quilt questions
Everything you need to know about Quilt mods.
Quilt is a Fabric fork that runs most Fabric mods; Fabric has the bigger ecosystem.
Quilt started in 2021 as a community-run fork of Fabric. Both are lightweight mod loaders for Minecraft Java Edition, and Quilt Loader runs most Fabric mods. Quilt adds touches such as more readable crash reports and sub-folders in the mods folder, while Fabric has the larger ecosystem and usually supports new Minecraft versions first.
Most Fabric mods run on Quilt without changes.
Yes, the vast majority do. Quilt Loader is built to load Fabric mods, so you can mix Fabric mods and Quilt-only mods in one mods folder. A few mods that hook deep into Fabric internals may need a Quilt-specific build, so check the supported loaders on the mod's Modrinth or CurseForge page. Minecraft Fabric mods
If a mod needs Fabric API, Quilt needs it too, for example as QFAPI.
Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) is Quilt's version of Fabric API, the shared library many Fabric mods depend on. Whenever a mod lists Fabric API as a requirement, your Quilt setup needs that library too, either as QFAPI or as Fabric API itself. If you install mods through the ZAP-Hosting mod browser, required dependencies are installed along with them.
Server-side mods stay on the server; content mods go on both sides.
Server-side mods only change what the server does, for example performance tweaks, land claims, permissions, web maps or backups, so players can join without installing them. Content mods that add blocks, items or mobs must be on the server and on every player's client in a matching version. The mod page usually says whether a mod is server-side, client-side or needed on both.
Quilt installer and mods folder on the client, mod browser or mods folder on the server.
For singleplayer, run the Quilt installer for your Minecraft version and put the mod files into the mods folder of the Quilt profile. On a server, the .jar files go into the server's mods folder, or you pick Quilt as the server type in the ZAP-Hosting web interface and install mods from the built-in mod browser. Download mods only from trusted sources such as Modrinth, CurseForge or the official project pages. Guide: Installing mods and modpacks
Quilt Loader and QFAPI are maintained, with the focus on Fabric compatibility.
Yes, Quilt Loader and Quilted Fabric API are still maintained. The project has narrowed its focus to the loader and its Fabric compatibility instead of its own Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) and Quilt Mappings. For players, Quilt mods and Fabric mods keep working on Quilt Loader; the official QuiltMC FAQ has the details.
Fabric can't load Quilt-only mods, and Quilt can't load Forge or NeoForge mods.
Quilt mods that use Quilt-only features don't load on Fabric; mods built only against Fabric APIs run on both loaders. Forge and NeoForge mods don't run on Quilt at all, because they are built on a different technical foundation. For Forge or NeoForge mods, choose a Forge or NeoForge setup instead.
