How to install "Garry's Mod"

Install Garry's Mod in GDLauncher

Garry's Mod runs on Forge. Pick whichever your existing instance uses, or create a new one. GDLauncher installs the correct loader automatically.

Install on Forge

1. Open GDLauncher and create a new instance (the + button on the Library page).
2. Pick the Forge loader and a Minecraft version that Garry's Mod supports (1.20.1 are common choices).
3. Open the new instance, go to the Addons tab, and click Add Addons.
4. Paste the Quick Install ID #garrys-mod, find Garry's Mod 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 Garry's Mod supports. As of the latest release, 1.20.1 are supported. Garry's Mod only runs on Forge; 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.
