Try Vanilla and download installer (universal/jar) and put it as you would with forge https://github.com/SKCraft/Launcher/wiki/Creating-Modpacks#adding-mods

NB: Haven't tried it personally but worth a shot.

[SDUBZ]

yeah i did it that way too no luck :(

[spannerman79]

You'll need to do some changes to the launcher in order to pull the required files for 1.13+
#235
Do that and try what I said #300 (comment)

[SDUBZ]

@spannerman79 I done both of them how do you think i got vanilla 1.14.1 loading as seen here http://puu.sh/DtoIy/b921d35ea8.png in the modpack maker to begin with also i tried alot of methods and some that most of other launchers do to get fabric working

[spannerman79]

Then you'll need to setup and use a custom version manifest (by the looks of it).
https://github.com/SKCraft/Launcher/wiki/Custom-Version-Manifest

[SDUBZ]

i do have a version manifest in modpacks root dir
version.json.txt
should be all correct from what i asked the fabric devs

[SDUBZ]

but all i get is this output To report this error, please provide:

have to re try doing this again since fabric is more stable and on its feet 💯

[LoneDev6]

I have the same problem, any news?

fabric-installer-0.5.1.36.jar did not appear to have an install_profile.json file inside -- is it actually an installer for a mod loader?

[sk89q]

You might be able to get the Technic bin/version.json file and put it in the installer .jar as install_profile.json, but that's a wild guess.

[SDUBZ]

im gonna try it and see how it goes
progress but https://pastebin.com/YEFyEdg5 @sk89q

[LoneDev6]

Strange, is there any official answer oever this problem?

I think I'll just endup using Forge, hoping that Forge 1.14.4 is supported by launcher

[sk89q]

There isn’t a standard way to install mod loaders so basically every launcher needs its own custom way to install one.

For LiteLoader and Forge they happen to just release their installers with a certain file they both include in their .jar, and it was great because it was the right amount of info the launcher needed to install them. Fabric doesn't do that.
