Install DrAyriAddons on Minecraft 1.21
Total time: about three minutes if you already have Minecraft installed. The guide assumes Java Edition on Windows; macOS and Linux are virtually identical apart from the mods folder path.
Before you start
- A paid Minecraft Java account.
- The official Minecraft Launcher.
- About 200 MB free disk space for Minecraft 1.21 itself.
- A working Java runtime (the launcher ships one — you usually don't need to touch this).
Step-by-step install
- Install Minecraft 1.21. Open the launcher, pick "Latest release" or explicitly 1.21, and hit Play once so the version files unpack.
- Install Fabric Loader. Go to fabricmc.net/use, download the Windows installer (.exe) or universal jar, run it, choose Minecraft version 1.21, and click Install.
- Get Fabric API. Download the latest Fabric API jar for 1.21 from Modrinth or CurseForge.
- Download DrAyriAddons. Grab DrAyriAddons-1.1.0.jar.
- Open the mods folder. Press Win+R and paste
%appdata%\.minecraft\mods. On macOS use~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods; on Linux use~/.minecraft/mods. If the folder doesn't exist, create it. - Move both jars into the folder. Fabric API and DrAyriAddons should sit next to each other.
- Launch the Fabric profile. In the Minecraft launcher pick the Fabric 1.21 profile (the installer created it) and click Play. The HUD shows up in the top-left.
First launch — what to do
Open the config menu with Right Shift. Every module is off by default except the HUD. Toggle modules from the menu, then drag them around the screen to lay out your HUD.
Recommended starter setup:
- AutoEat — on, set hunger threshold to 14.
- Auto Totem — on if you regularly PvP.
- ElytraBoost — on, cap at 3× until you get used to the speed.
- HUD — leave on; reposition modules to the corners.
Default hotkeys
| Action | Default key |
|---|---|
| Open config menu | Right Shift |
| Toggle EasyPlace | R |
| Toggle BaseFinder | B |
| Toggle ElytraBoost | X |
| Toggle ChestESP | C |
| Trigger Anchor Macro | V |
Every key is rebindable in the config menu.
Config file locations
All per-module configs live in .minecraft/config/drayriaddons/ as plain JSON. Editing them by hand works; the menu just gives you a UI on top.
Something not working?
Check the troubleshooting page — most issues are missing Fabric API, the wrong Minecraft version, or an OptiFine clash.
