Refined Storage runs on a modloader, supporting NeoForge and Fabric.
Installing it follows the same process as any other NeoForge or Fabric mod.
Setting up NeoForge or Fabric
You’ll need a working NeoForge or Fabric instance. Launchers like MultiMC or the vanilla launcher can set this up.
Downloading the mod
Download a Refined Storage .jar file for your Minecraft version and modloader from official sources:
Installing the mod
Place the downloaded .jar file in your instance’s mods/ directory. If the folder doesn’t exist, start your instance once to let the modloader create it.
Using the CurseForge App (and other launchers)
Most launchers, including the CurseForge App, allow one-click installation without manually copying .jar files.
Configuring the mod
Configuration isn’t required in most cases, but you can adjust settings in the config/ directory:
-
NeoForge:
config/refinedstorage-common.toml -
Fabric:
config/refinedstorage.toml
Optional dependencies
Refined Storage works on its own, but some additional mods improve the experience.
Official addons
Integration with recipe viewers
These mods help view recipes for items and blocks:
Energy generation
You can configure whether Refined Storage uses energy.
By default, energy is enabled. If you keep this setting, you’ll need another mod that can generate power to run your Refined Storage system.
