setup-fabric

setup-fabric is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chapmanjw/minecraft-java-fabric-claude-plugin. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

The first setup step for connecting AI control to Minecraft Java Edition: installing Minecraft with the Fabric loader. Fabric is a system that lets Minecraft run mods, including the MCP mod used for control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Minecraft Java MCP setup from scratch, for either a single-player client or a headless dedicated server.
Why use it?
It prepares the Minecraft installation that the later setup steps need before adding the mod, starting its server, and connecting Claude.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-fabric scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install Minecraft Java + Fabric (Step 1 of 4)

You are guiding the user through the first of four setup phases. Work interactively: do one thing, confirm it worked, then move on. Do not dump the whole procedure at once.

The big picture — explain this first

The user is building a stack that lets Claude read and change a live Minecraft Java Edition world. Unlike a separate server process, the MCP server is a Fabric mod that runs inside Minecraft itself. There are four setup phases, one per skill, run in order:

Phase Skill What it does
1 setup-fabric (this one) Minecraft Java Edition with the Fabric loader.
2 setup-mod The MCP mod jar + its matching Fabric API jar in mods/.
3 setup-server The mod's config.json, launched and verified on /healthz.
4 setup-connect Register the MCP server with Claude so the Java tools appear.

Tell the user this is Phase 1, and that each phase ends by handing off to the next. Budget ~10 minutes for a single-player setup, ~20–30 for a dedicated server.

Pin your versions — say this out loud. The mod ships a separate jar per Minecraft version, built against that version's Fabric API. A Minecraft or Fabric update can break the modding surface the mod depends on. Pick a supported Minecraft version, pin it, disable auto-update for that profile, and upgrade Minecraft, the Fabric API jar, and the mod jar together.

Gather context

Ask the user, before downloading anything:

  1. Single-player or dedicated server?
    • Single-player (recommended default): Claude edits the world you play in, on your own machine. Loopback only, no token, no firewall changes. ~10 minutes.
    • Dedicated server: a headless Minecraft server (for friends, or to keep the MCP endpoint up 24/7). LAN/remote access with a bearer token. Branch the rest of this skill on their answer.
  2. Which Minecraft version? The mod supports 1.21.11, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Default to the newest the user is comfortable with (26.2). Record the exact version — it must match the mod jar and Fabric API jar in Phase 2. The mod jar declares an EXACT Minecraft dependency, so a mismatch is refused at load with a clear message rather than failing later.
  3. (Dedicated server only) What OS and where? Linux or Windows; same machine as Claude, LAN box, or cloud VM. The host needs a JDK: Java 21 for 1.21.11, Java 25 for 26.1.x. (Single-player uses the launcher's bundled runtime — no separate JDK needed.) The connect step (Phase 4) cares where it runs, so note their answer.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
