Rough Start
Rough Start is an equipment, game-mechanics and worldgen Minecraft mod with 930 downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Fabric, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Rough Start is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Rough Start already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Rough Start along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.

How to install Rough Start
Two ways to add Rough Start to Minecraft. One takes a click.
- Click Play below. Orca installs Rough Start with Fabric and the right Minecraft version, then launches straight into the game.
That’s it. Nothing to download or configure.
- Download the latest Rough Start file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
- Install Fabric and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.
- Drop the downloaded .jar into your mods folder (the mods folder inside .minecraft, or your server's mods folder).
- Add any libraries Rough Start depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Fabric profile.
Rough Startversions & compatibility
