Minecraft java noob
im switching to java for the first time and I don't have Minecraft installed on my pc
should i download the latest version of Minecraft (which i think is 1.21.4?) or
1.21-1.21.1 (which is the latest DH version)
i also need to use shaders so I'd also need iris.
would my game version affect the DH version's comparability?

so basically which version of game should i install so that i could use DH and bliss from iris
If you want 1.21.4 you can find a nightly download in #links-n-downloads
If you want to use stable then you have to use 1.21.1 or older
Best version for overall mod support is 1.20.1
1.21.1 is the latest with decent mod support
1.21.4 is the newest if you want all the newest vanilla stuff
All 3 will be able to run DH + shaders, but 1.21.4 will require the use of nightly
I would recommend using Modrinth APP as the MC launcher
Yes the modrinth app is pretty good, you can automatically install fabric from there
im sorry but what does the modrinth app mean? ik modrinth is the website where I'd download mod from
Modrinth
Download the Modrinth App!
The Modrinth App is a unique, open source launcher that allows you to play your favorite mods, and keep them up to date, all in one neat little package.
Its a program with which you can easily download, update and manage all your mods with
And make different profiles for different versions, very easy to use
Id 100% recommend any type of launcher if you want to mod minecraft
And Modrinth is the most beginner friendly imo
okay I'll look into it but what version of the game should i install?
If all you want is DH with shaders, just get the latest version
If you find a mod that you want to use really badly but its not on the latest version, use that version
no DH is the only main mod i want to use
so i should install things in this order?
Minecraft 1.21.1
modrinth app
fabric mod loader
and then the mods?
no, modrinth installs minecraft seperatly
You don't need to install minecraft
ohhhhhh
Modrinth will do it for you when you create a instance in the launcher
thats where you select fabric
Ty I'll go try it
And there you can also directly download mods through modrinth
very convenient
a silly question but when DH gets compatible for 1.21.4 would i have to redo the process of downloading DH and the game if i want to get on the latest DH version
Modrinth APP should be able to update everything for you, but it still might be better to do it manually when updating MC versions
You'd need to create a new instance for 1.21.4 i think or change the version, not sure. If you want 1.21.4 right now you can download a nightly build from #links-n-downloads
Just checked, modrinth lets you just change the version of the instance
