Install Better Block Entities in GDLauncher

  2. Pick the Fabric loader and a Minecraft version that Better Block Entities supports (26.1.2, 1.21.11 are common choices).
  3. Open the new instance, go to the Addons tab, and click Add Addons.
  4. Paste the Quick Install ID #better-block-entities, find Better Block Entities in the results, and hit Download. GDLauncher pulls dependencies automatically.

Before you install
