  • How to install Starlight?
    1 project | /r/fabricmc | 14 Aug 2021
    Go here and find column "Releases"(on right), and click on "tags", under description of latest version you can find word "Assets". Click on it. Download only file with "starlight" in name, and last bat not leatest -> put into mods folder. Fabric loader is required.

    If you don't want to use the patch, or you are facing this issue but are not using paper(or playing singleplayer), you can use starlight (and ask your friends to do so too) on the client side. The jar file can be found in the Releases tab (only available for fabric atm).

    Go here https://github.com/Tuinity/Starlight/releases download the appropriate release for your Minecraft version and place it in your mods folder. For best results use sodium, lithium and hydrogen with it.
