⬇️ Installation

NEXUS Bodycam is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft Java 1.20.1. You install it on your own computer only — no server changes, works on any server.

Requirements

Requirement Version
Minecraft (Java Edition) 1.20.1
Fabric Loader ≥ 0.15.11
Fabric API required
Java 17+ (the launcher's bundled Java is fine)
Mod Menu optional — enables the in-game config screen
TACZ optional — weapon realism
Iris / Sodium optional — shaders / performance

Step by step (Windows)

1. Install Fabric Loader

Download the Fabric installer, run it, pick Minecraft 1.20.1 and press Install.

2. Open your mods folder

Quickest way: in the Minecraft Launcher → Installations → hover your Fabric profile → ⋯ → Edit → Open Game Directory, then open the mods folder (create it if it doesn't exist).

Typical locations:

Launcher Path
Official launcher %appdata%\.minecraft\mods
CurseForge / Prism / MultiMC <instance>\mods
FreesmLauncher <instance>\minecraft\mods

3. Add the mods

Put these files in mods:

  1. NEXUS-bodycam-1.4.3+1.20.1.jar ← this mod
  2. fabric-api-…jar ← Modrinth
  3. (optional) modmenu-…jar ← Modrinth
  4. (optional) tacz-…jar ← Modrinth
  5. (optional) iris-…jar ← Modrinth

Do not install the mod twice (e.g. the .jar and a .zip of it) and do not mix Fabric with Forge/Quilt loaders — Minecraft will crash or the mod will simply not load.

4. Launch and check

Start the game with the Fabric profile. In the main menu go to Mods → NEXUS Bodycam → Settings to open the config screen.

No Mod Menu? The config also lives in config/bodycam.json — edit it while the game is closed.

macOS / Linux

Same steps; the default folder is ~/.minecraft/mods. Open it with Finder → ⌘⇧G → ~/.minecraft/mods (macOS) or your file manager (Linux).

Upgrading

  1. Close the game.
  2. Delete the old NEXUS-bodycam-*.jar from mods (never leave two versions there).
  3. Drop the new jar in.
  4. Your config/bodycam.json is kept — settings carry over.

Uninstalling

Delete NEXUS-bodycam-*.jar from mods. Optionally delete config/bodycam.json. Nothing else is touched — no worlds, no servers, no other mods.
