Step #1:

Step #2:
Set the Minecraft Version to the Minecraft version you want your server to be on, or latest to install the latest Minecraft version available for Fabric.

Step #3:
Set the Fabric Loader Version to the version of Fabric you want, if you don't know what that is or which version you want, leave it as latest

The Fabric Loader Version IS NOT the minecraft version. If you don't know what you are doing, it's best to leave it at latest or risk breaking your server!

Step #4:
Change your Java Version according to the version of Minecraft you will be installing.
Here is a cheat sheet for which Java version pairs with which Minecraft version.

Java 17 -> Minecraft 1.18.x and later
Java 16 -> Minecraft 1.17.x
Java 8 or Java 11 (start with Java 8) -> Any Minecraft version before 1.17

Step #5:
Head over to General Settings and hit the Reinstall Server button, then wait for your server to be reinstalled.

Done! Your Server is now on Fabric!
