Installation

MineBoard must be installed on the server and every client. Everyone must use the same loader and matching MineBoard file.

For Minecraft 1.21.1, use Java 21. Fabric requires Fabric Loader 0.16.14 or newer and Fabric API 0.116.17+1.21.1 or compatible. NeoForge requires version 21.1.219 or newer and has no additional dependency.

For Minecraft 26.2, use Java 25. Fabric requires Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer and Fabric API 0.160.0+26.2 or compatible. NeoForge requires version 26.2.0.88 or newer and has no additional dependency.

In Creative mode, search for “MineBoard” under Functional Blocks, or run /give @s mineboard:table. Place the table in an open area and right-click it to begin.

Beta status

The Minecraft 1.21.1 builds have received the most testing. The 26.2 ports compile and load on both client and server, but have had less visual and multiplayer validation.
