Fabric needs at least 2 GB of RAM - more than the free plan's 1 GB, so it runs on the plans below.
What is Fabric?
Fabric is a lightweight mod loader built for speed - both in how fast it starts and how quickly it picks up new Minecraft versions. It's the loader behind popular performance mods (Sodium, Lithium) and a huge share of the smaller, fast-updating utility mods.
A Fabric server installs straight from the loader's own official source, so there's no CurseForge API key or platform gate in the way - upload the mod jars (plus the Fabric API, which most mods need) over SFTP or the file manager and restart.
Why host Fabric with Crafty Servers?
Lightweight and fast
Fabric's small footprint means less overhead than heavier loaders - more of your RAM goes to the game.
Install any mod
Full file access via the web file manager or SFTP - drop mods into the mods folder and restart.
Room to grow
Starts at 2 GB - upgrade the same server's RAM as your mod list gets heavier, your world stays put.
Huge, fast-moving ecosystem
Fabric mods are usually first to update after a new Minecraft release - handy if you like to stay current.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run Fabric on the free plan?
No - Fabric needs at least 2 GB of RAM, so it runs on the paid plans. The free plan covers Vanilla and Paper only.
How do I install mods?
Open the file manager (or SFTP) from your panel, upload the mod .jar files (and the Fabric API, if the mod needs it) into the mods folder, and restart the server.
Do players need the mods too?
Yes - players install the same Fabric mods (matching versions) in their own launcher to join.
Fabric or Forge/NeoForge - which should I pick?
Fabric is the common choice for performance mods and smaller, fast-updating packs. Large questing modpacks more often target Forge or NeoForge - check what loader your pack or mod list needs before picking a type.
Want to try the platform first?
Spin up a free live demo - a Vanilla server, online for 24 hours, no signup or card. It's the same panel your Fabric server would run on.
