Dependencies

What Gaiadeclares it needs, from the author’s own release metadata. A required one has to be installed alongside it or it will not load.

Fabric APIRequired. Lightweight and modular API providing common hooks and intercompatibility measures utilized by mods using the Fabric toolchain.WorldEditOptional. A Minecraft Map Editor... that runs in-game! With selections, schematics, copy and paste, brushes, and scripting. Use it in creative, or use it temporarily in survival.

Frequently asked

Does Gaia work on Minecraft 26.3?

Yes. 26.3 is the newest Minecraft version Gaia 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 Gaia support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.20 up to 26.3. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Gaia on the client or the server?

The server only. Players join with an ordinary Minecraft client and install nothing.

Which platform or loader does Gaia support?

Fabric, Purpur, Paper, Folia. 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 Gaia?

Among the supported Minecraft releases above, the highest recorded requirement is Java 25 or newer. Use the requirement for the exact Minecraft version you run; previews and snapshots may differ.

What does Gaia need to run?

It declares Fabric API as required, so that has to be installed alongside it or it will not load. Each one is linked in the dependencies section above.

What licence is Gaia under?

GPL-3.0-only, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Gaia?

Choose the release variant for your server platform. Paper, Spigot, Purpur and Bukkit files go in the server's plugins folder; Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt files go in the mods folder. Restart after installing and check that the Minecraft version matches your server.

Where do I download Gaia safely?

Start with the author's page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. When available, recorded download links go to the source for that release; verify the publisher, filename and any available checksum before running it.
