Rigmod Windows
Running rigmod on Windows 11 — mods folder, Java version and the Defender false positive on first extract.
Windows is the default target and the path every guide assumes.
rigmod windows: install shape, supported versions, and the handful of details that decide whether the jar loads at all.
The rig is a Fabric client mod. Drop the jar into .minecraft/mods, launch the Fabric profile, join the server. Loader 0.15+ covers 1.20.x, 0.16+ covers 1.21.x. Forge is a different mixin surface and is not supported.
Defender occasionally flags the jar on extract; verify the hash before allowing it.
The jar is 240 KB with no network calls. Config lives in .minecraft/config and never leaves the machine. Releases are verified by SHA-256 on the download page, not by a licence server, which is the main reason the build stays this small.
