Frequently asked

Does I Like Vanilla work on Minecraft 26.2?

Yes. 26.2 is the newest Minecraft version I Like Vanilla 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 I Like Vanilla support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.12 up to 26.2. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Which Java version do I need for I Like Vanilla?

Java 25 or newer, because that is what the newest Minecraft release it supports requires. The requirement comes from the game rather than from the shader pack itself.

How do I install I Like Vanilla?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the shader pack 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 I Like Vanilla safely?

From the author's own page on CurseForge, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
