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-mod 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 1mo 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.

Install the MCP mod + Fabric API (Step 2 of 4)

This is Phase 2 of the four-phase Minecraft Java MCP setup. It assumes Phase 1 (setup-fabric) is done: Fabric is installed and the mods/ folder exists. You should have, written down:

  • the chosen Minecraft version (e.g. 26.2);
  • the mods-folder path (single-player) or the <server> root with its mods/ folder (dedicated server).

If either is missing, get it before continuing. Work interactively — confirm each download before moving on.

What you're installing

The MCP server is delivered as a Fabric mod. It needs exactly two jars in mods/, both matching the same Minecraft version:

  1. The MCP mod — minecraft-fabric-mcp-<modver>+<mc-version>.jar.
  2. Fabric API — the mod's only dependency.

Match the Minecraft version on both jars. A jar built for 26.1.2 will not load on 1.21.11, and vice versa. The version suffix after the + must equal the version chosen in Phase 1.

Step 1 — Download the MCP mod jar

From the mod's releases: https://github.com/chapmanjw/minecraft-java-fabric-mcp-server/releases

Pick the asset whose filename ends in +<your-mc-version>.jar — e.g. minecraft-fabric-mcp-1.0.1+26.2.jar for Minecraft 26.2. Pin to a specific release tag rather than tracking latest, so the version stays in lockstep with Minecraft and Fabric API.

Step 2 — Download the matching Fabric API jar

From Modrinth: https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api/versions

Filter by your Minecraft version and download the Fabric API jar for it — e.g. fabric-api-0.155.2+26.2.jar. Its Minecraft version must match exactly.

The mod jar declares an EXACT depends.minecraft, so a jar built for one Minecraft version is refused at load on any other — you get a clear loader error rather than a crash later. Do not mix versions across the two jars.

Step 3 — Put both jars in mods/

Copy both jars into the mods/ folder from Phase 1.

Single-player — the platform path:
