Don't see the MultiMC version? Click the title of the CurseForge version you need and scroll down, you'll find the MultiMC variant there.
Alternatively, look for it in the sidebar, under "server packs".
If you don't see any mods inside the zip or only see one, you downloaded the wrong version.
5.Open the zip file, go to Fabulously Optimized x.x.x > .minecraft
6.Copy all folders from zip's .minecraft folder to your .minecraft folder; if asked - replace the files
7.If you want FO default settings as well, delete options.txt (your vanilla options will be reset)
8.Launch the installed Fabric profile
9.If you now see "Fabulously Optimized" in the right bottom corner, you're done!
A simple installer for vanilla launcher is coming soon!
Modrinth
There is indeed an official listing of FO on Modrinth. However, it is currently experimental and there is no official launcher yet, so no instructions or support are given.
Meanwhile you can ♡ Follow the project to get notified of updates 🙂
Other launchers
Technically you can install it in some other launchers that support CurseForge modpacks or in any launcher by following the vanilla instructions. However, I do not give support for them.
Servers
Any server is supported, no installation or changes are necessary. See server setup for more info.
Quilt
There have been questions regarding whether Fabulously Optimized can be installed with Quilt. The answer is: probably, while Fabric mods are still supported in it, but this modpack's maintainer does not provide support for that. (You can ask in Quilt's Discord, though.)​
If there becomes a need, Fabulously Optimized will move to Quilt overall and then it will be fully supported. Read more on issue #257.
