All of the Minecraft versions in which Fabric is available for will appear. 

To install Fabric on your Minecraft server, click the "Install" button under the version of Fabric you want. A popup will open that warns you about potential data loss when changing your server version. Back up your server if you don't want to lose any data.

To start the installation, click the "Install" button on this menu. Fabric will then begin installing. 

After it is finished, a "Version changed successfully" message will appear. 

Step 4: Activate Fabric

To finish adding Fabric to your Minecraft server, go to the "Console" page and click the "Start" button. Your server will activate with Fabric installed. You may need to click "Restart" if your server is already running.
