FAQ and Mods List
Hi friends, at the moment, this whole list (besides Mizuno16craft to the best of my knowledge) is Java only but I will be adding more Bedrock stuff in the future! Also, adding the links as I have the time/energy to do so!
1.12.2 Mods (Forge Mod Loader)
This is what I refer to on stream as Modded Minecraft!
Chisels and Bits
Cocricot
Decocraft
Flat Colored Blocks
OptiFine
World Edit
These mods also have "dependencies" needed to work, so you will also need to install PTRLib & Just Enough IDs to get these mods to work. If you have a low spec computer, I would recommend choosing between Cocricot and Decocraft, and skipping Flat Colored Blocks. Also, IMO don't add Flat Colored Blocks to your world if you aren't using Chisels, it is absolutely not a necessity at all.
1.17.1 Mods (Fabric Mod Loader)
Optifine
Optifabric (needed to make Optifine work on Fabric)
Replay Mod (for cinematics, and 3rd person POV)
WorldEdit Mod
If you are planning on using Replay Mod on Optifine (devs recommend Sodium+Iris), you need optifabric 1.11.20, optifine G9 mod and replay mod 2.6.1 (other combinations might not work)
1.19 Mods (Fabric Mod Loader)
I know it is a lot of mods, however, they all serve a purpose for me. Feel free to leave out what you don't want!
Must Haves
Sodium- Rendering engine and Optimizing (250% to 500% boost in FPS)
Iris Shaders- Open-source shaders mod that allows you to toggle your shaders with a single keypress. Super quick to update when new versions come out.
WI Zoom- Adds a Zoom key that allows you to use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Similar to the OK Zoomer mod which is no longer usable on Fabric as per 1.19. (Works with Optifine or Sodium)
Cull Leaves- adds "smart" leaves to Minecraft without Optifine (performance boosting!)
Lazy DFU- fixes an overengineered but mostly unused feature of Minecraft to have less wasted resources (saves at least 9 seconds when converting worlds to newer versions)
Mod Menu- adds an in-game menu allowing config editing in game
Optifine Parity
LambDynamicLights- Adds dynamic lighting to Minecraft
Capes- adds the ability to use capes from Optifine, LabyMod, and the MinecraftCapes Mod
CIT Resewn- Reimplements MCPatcher's Custom Item Textures, exactly the same as Optifine's CIT as it was adapted from the same source
Continuity- adds connected textures to Minecraft, supports Optifine's texture formats
Animatica- Reimplements MCPatcher's Animated Texture format, works perfectly with optifine's textures.
Transparent- Allows resource packs to have transparent entities.
Content Creation Tools
WorldEdit- a Minecraft map editor that lets you mass place, delete and manipulate blocks
Replay Mod- Adds the ability to record your gameplay and film it in a separate perspective.
Time Changer- Lets you change the client side time in Minecraft
Client-side Visual Mods
Illuminations- adds beautiful ambient particles like fireflies, chorus petals, prismarine crystals, and more (client-side)
3D Skin Layers- a client-side mod that 3D renders the second layer of skins
Falling Leaves- Adds very beautiful falling leaves to Minecraft & modded trees
Xaero's World Map- Adds a fullscreen map to your Minecraft world!
Dependencies
Cloth Config- Make sure you get the fabric install, Required for Falling Leaves
Fabric API- Required for Xaero's World Map, WI Zoom, LambDynamicLights, Capes, Mod Menu
Fabric Language Kotlin- Required by Capes,
Indium- Required for Continuity
Other Mods
Optifine alternatives
Modifiable Controller Support Mod
Shaders
To use shaders, you need to have stand-alone optifine or a mod loader like Fabric or Forge with Optifine or Sodium + Iris.
BSL Shaders - most seen on my streams, its a cool toned shader
Complementary Shaders- BSL edit, best option for survival, brightens caves and makes ores glow
Enhanced Default - Very vanilla feeling, best option for low spec computers
Slidurs Vibrant Lite - very vibrant, overall good pick, warm and bright toned shader
Texture and CIT Packs
Ghoulcraft- READ THIS this texture pack is where you can find my iconic mushroom hat (only in Magic, Weapons or Mega)
Jerm's Better Leaves- adds bushy leaves to minecraft
Mizuno 16 Craft- The link is for java but it is also on the MC marketplace; most popular cottagecore texture pack
Fresh Leaves (Mizuno Add On)- adds bushy leaves to mizunos
Invisible Item Frame Pack - changes all item frames to be invisible
Fat Cat- makes all the cats chubby
Nebula by Looshy- the pack I use while playing Bedwars; there are 14 versions and I personally use Galaxy
