How to install BetterShields
Two ways to add BetterShields to Minecraft. One takes a click.
The Orca way

That’s it. Nothing to download or configure.
The manual way
- Download the latest BetterShields file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
- Install Fabric and Quilt 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 BetterShields depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Fabric and Quilt profile.
