Frequently asked

Does Selective Mining work on Minecraft 1.21.8?

Yes. 1.21.8 is the newest Minecraft version Selective Mining declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Selective Mining support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.16.1 up to 1.21.8. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Which platform or loader does Selective Mining support?

Forge, Quilt, Fabric, NeoForge. A build for one platform or loader will not necessarily load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Which Java version do I need for Selective Mining?

Among the supported Minecraft releases above, the highest recorded requirement is Java 21 or newer. Use the requirement for the exact Minecraft version you run; previews and snapshots may differ.

How do I install Selective Mining?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the mod and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Where do I download Selective Mining safely?

MCReference has no release file or checksum recorded for Selective Mining. Check the publisher's CurseForge listing for current downloads and verify the publisher before installing.
