2. Pick the Fabric loader and a Minecraft version that Builders Essentials supports (26.1.2, 1.21.11, 1.20.4 are common choices).
3. Open the new instance, go to the Addons tab, and click Add Addons.
4. Paste the Quick Install ID #buildersessentials, find Builders Essentials in the results, and hit Download. GDLauncher pulls dependencies automatically.
5. Hit Play. That's it.

Before you install

Make sure your Minecraft version matches what Builders Essentials supports. As of the latest release, 26.1.2, 1.21.11, 1.20.4 are supported. Builders Essentials only runs on Fabric; mods built for other loaders won't work. GDLauncher checks compatibility for you and won't install something incompatible with the instance you've chosen.
