20+ Mods To Enhance Vanilla Minecraft That I Can't Live Without

[@tr7zw]

Awesome video. Glad my 3d Skin Layers and Not Enough Animations mod made it, as this is their exact usecase :).

[@demonjoeTV]

Yooooo thank you for making them!! 🧡

[@Night-Rider101]

Yoo your mods are always must haves in my modpacks

[@SlimyRat]

Hi! Quick question why does not enough animations have to be server dependant? Why is it not client side if a resource pack like Fresh Animations is client side.

[@adamlolbonus4977]

​@@SlimyRat wait it's server dependent?

[@leonewashere]

3D skin layers has been such a game changer for me! it's a small detail but it makes such a huge difference. thank you for your service o7

[@ZoraEpsilon571]

Mouse tweaks is unironically so good, and well made of a feature addition, that when i went to playing on a vanilla realm with friends, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BASE GAME THING AND INSTINCTIVELY TRIED TO DO IT.

[@xxriellixx978yt3]

25 likes and no replies? Im not a bot and someones gonna do it so imma stop them 💀

[@Sunshoop]

Same! It's just- such a great thing and when you play modded it's just such a thing to have. You can play modded on vanilla servers too just client side mods tho-

[@Petrovelly]

I've been watching a lot of Vanilla+ mod videos lately and I have to say I'm impressed with your showcase - it's clear, to the point and you have a really pleasant voice.

[@demonjoeTV]

Thank you so much! It means a lot :)

[@harunbin-imran2077]

Hes not lying

[@mikethespike056]

​@@demonjoeTV some criticism: you should cover more of what the mods do. you couldve showcased much more than just the eating and ladder climbing animations in that time.

[@tschipcraft]

Great work! Thanks for including my mod Make Bubbles Pop 📸

[@senoreverything6366]

Doing the lord's work, sir

[@tuneboyz5634]

its a really cool mod thank you little buddy 🥰😊

[@foonleyyt8171]

lmao i usually use most of these in modpacks anyway but you did help me finally realize why fresh animations never worked

[@DankeyKun]

the other two packs are working my fresh animations isn't working .

[@nevaalemao5680]

Samw

[@engr.mohd.mahamudulhasan691]

What’s your pc specs ?

[@ZElementPlayz]

Same lol

[@Brei.]

Me too😂

[@dani3lda1by81]

Tbh this is how i would love to mod minecraft not completely changing the game to something its not, just making it better and improving on base features

[@Takashiroo_GD]

Same

[@pjp48]

Try Bronze and Vikings

[@baldability]

nah, i’d All The Mods 9

[@simpli_A]

Quark is a classic, but its incredible

[@blainejuliet1448]

I'm not gonna lie, when you showcased the Not Enough Animations mod I didn't think anything of it when you ate because I genuinely believed that lifting the hand up was in Java which I have been hard playing for weeks. Then you mentioned it's not in the game and I though, " Wait... there's no way." I booted up the game, went in third person, ate a potato, and my mind was blown. I'm definitely gonna have to pick up this mod now.

[@whengrapespop5728]

If someone feels like the zoom mod is cheating, there’s a Spyglass version out there that simply improves the spyglass (meaning, you still need the actual item).

[@Mr._As-ian]

Yeah but mods are also technically cheating, but I see your point. The only thing is the spyglass is just overrated and this mod just seems more convenient.

[@ssoaphie]

@@Mr._As-ianyeah well this mod isn’t cheating because it can be used in vanilla servers

[@Mr._As-ian]

@@ssoaphie exactly. I say "technically" cuz it's a mod, but some mods are compatible with vanilla and that makes it confoosing.

[@mikethespike056]

and there's a mod that simply binds an spyglass that must be somewhere in your inventory to a key. that's what i use.

[@iasked9392]

spyglass improvements

[@givemetea]

Amaaaaazing video, I actually want to put all of these in my vanilla minecraft experience, unlike almost all other mod recomendation videos I've seen were I was only interested in 1 or 2 out of 100 in a 30 min video. Actual quality, thank you!

[@demonjoeTV]

Thank you for the kind comment! Glad you enjoyed the video 🧡

[@kcim123]

I just found your channel and Im surprised how few videos you have! You seem like a pro. Confident speech, nice voice and well made videos.

[@demonjoeTV]

Thank you! Will definitely have more posted very soon :)

[@rittis013]

This is exactly what i want! very vanilla friendly and really enchanted the experience rather than overdramatically changes anything, loves it man.

[@KorytheMaril]

This is a really good video to reference moving forward. I make a lot of packs for my friends, but the way my mind works, I get lost in what I'm doing, I get frustrated, and I have to start over. Short of Explosive Enhancements and Wakes, along with sound mods like Sound Physics Remastered, Presence Footsteps and one other I'm forgetting the name of, this is basically everything I'd consider essential mod-wise.

[@Rajesh-Koothrappali]

Try spawn animations mod, it ads a small animation to mobs instead of them appearing out of nowhere

[@xyrkzes]

If the mod you're talking about is the one I'm thinking of, it's actually a datapack. Also I noticed it's basically just making mobs at a certain distance invisible and once they get close enough it starts the animation of them rising out of the ground. Oh yeah and it started making mobs spawn within like 7 blocks of me so I ended up removing it.

[@Rajesh-Koothrappali]

@@xyrkzes yeah there’s a mod version too it fixes the bugs :)

[@Rajesh-Koothrappali]

@@disrespecc9678 I mean if that’s all you can complain about it’s not that big a deal is it -_- there’s worse things in life than seeing spiders eyes without the spiders :/ Also don’t complain to me I’m not the mod author 💀

[@huhjanus]

top 20 mod showcase to me are really repetitive and i'm always just in it for the list and the links. idk why but you made me actually watch the whole video! really entertaining, also really great mic lol

[@demonjoeTV]

Thank you so much for the kind words! You have no idea how much that means to me

[@passmesalt37]

7:03 there used to be something called “Bedrock fog” wherein if you went to the bedrock level, you’ll see a particle similar to that. Kind of sad it was removed tbh.

[@inara9488]

nice vid! definitely still vanilla gameplay~ may i recommend some too that i use that can maybe make it to part 2 aswell? :DD Appleskin - hunger visual Falling tree - falling tree Leaves be gone - leaves despawn instantly Freecam - spectator for building in survival inventory hud + - for stuff such as item durabilities on ur hotbar Jade - information hud on what ure looking at Just Enough Items - for item and recipe viewing Villager names - every villager gets a name :D

[@gmg6863]

the hunger visual thing is a vanilla tweaks rp also

[@boney2982]

the hud ones are a definite must for me no more accidental pickaxe breaks!

[@ssoaphie]

these are mods you wouldn’t really need outside of non-vanilla.

[@bentownsend4017]

Love leaves begone

[@obaolade1232]

bro should create a mod pack

[@okOkoKOkOkkOkok]

He did

[@CrystalKier]

I think I'll get some of these too! I already have fresh animations and visuality (but I haven't gotten it to work yet). Another mod I have that is really helpful to me is tree harvester; every time you chop down all the logs of a tree, all the leaves decay almost at once.

[@Mikailodon]

These mods really add to the games vibes. Also the style of your videos is just on top for this time.

[@Waverider-Zeta]

Your video are really well produced. You're gonna be a big youtuber soon, this is professional work.

[@solacemotif]

nice to know that there is one of these videos that doesn't just pour endless amounts of mods just to call it "best mods of 2023," or whatever. its a very nice choice of mods to! keep it up.

[@nickelwrangler446]

Feels weird getting recommended a demonjoe video after such a long time.... good video!

[@Vinixety]

Thank you soooooooooooo much. I've been looking for the name of some of these mods and now i finally have them. THANK YOU❤

[@tuneboyz5634]

thats great little buddy have fun! 😊

[@clobzz]

Yo straight up i would NOT have imagined your shaders to be complementary, they look absolutely insane and not at all what i know complementary to look like, crazy what changing the settings can do

[@Noel_Return]

love how no one ever talks about the blaze and caves advancement data pack, it adds a ton of new advancements and is pretty fun to progress through

[@demonjoeTV]

Oh that actually sounds really interesting, if I cover this idea in a video I’ll make sure to shout you out! 🧡

[@IamGroot23-b3p]

This has been so useful thank you very much. Something most people don't understand is the warden wasn't meant to be killed he was a mob that if you encountered the exploring in the caves would be impossible that's why it has so much health and deals so much damage and gives nothing

[@lakabe]

hey, are you using these mods on optifine? If so, how can I adjust them on Minecraft?

[@Austinfdp]

⁠@@lakabeomg get over deadifine we are bad in those days anymore

[@Austinfdp]

@@lakabedeadifine breaks these mods

[@andrea_sur_yt]

You can find his shaderpack on the curseforge page of Complementary Shaders - Unbound In "Files", you can find a shaderpack called "Complementary v4.6" which is exactly his one. Don't forget to import his settings in the description of the video and you're all set!

[@rclvr]

HOW CAN I IMPROT THE SETTINGS

[@andrea_sur_yt]

copy paste the text in the description in a .txt file, then on minecraft shaders, on top right you will see an arrow going to the down saying "Import". It will ask you to choose a file to import, then you will choose the .txt file you created earlier. Enjoy!

[@zain_ismai]

@@andrea_sur_yt OMG thank you soo much you helped me a lot especially with the import thing. i never knew this existed i really appreciate it you dont know how much (i've been searching for the past hour but here you helped me a lotttt)

Where is minecraft shaders?

[@bhushanbhagat1045]

Great video!!! His armor looks kinda like it has a ribcge with a light color on it, I was wondering how to get that on my game

[@goddessofcrows]

I'm always on the hunt for new mods so this was super helpful! I can't wait to test out the Ships datapack, it seems so cool!! ^^

[@sandrajackson5227]

As a Bedrock player, I am so jealous. Your game is literally beautiful!!! I want popping bubbles 😤😤

[@ItzxRandy]

I’m forced to play bedrock because none of the homies have PC 🥲

[@NoobDerric]

​@@ItzxRandyif they have a decent smartphone they can run "pojav launcher" . it's basic Minecraft java, you can add mods, resources packs and even shaders if your phone is fairly powerful

2:53 Thank you for letting us know how to use fresh animations without optifine sir!

[@nateisdabest]

7:54 Oh my goodness, those bubbles are coarsening!

[@CorbanHoch-bb1xn]

the thing about these mods is that if Minecraft/Mojang actually add them to the game it would make total sense. love your videos keep up the great work.

[@War100Z_ID]

Je trouve ça très sympa de parler de "All Mobs Head", je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'un datapack Français fasse une apparition dans une vidéo non-française 😅

One mod I like to use for immersion in progression is Advancement Plaques. Shows a small popup when completing an advancement, with sound.

[@RivinduHansaja]

05:35 06:17 🤣🤣🤣 Great job bringing humour into context that are explained excellently

[@axolotl482]

'it's kinda like banners from terraria, you get them from random drops' you get terraria banners for every 50 kills another great video, and I would love to see you play terraria

[@demonjoeTV]

Ah my bad, I haven't properly played Terraria in years. Appreciate the info :)

[@racherim]

Thank you for mod showcase, for some reason this video is really unique; unlike another minecraft mod video.

[@demonjoeTV]

Thank you!

[@ValerieHoey-sw9kq]

As a terraria veteran myself I tell you about the mob banners and you get a mob banner for every 50 kills of a certain mob pulls you get a special effect when nearby and witch is that the mob spawn is reduced corresponding to the banner

[@hamzasalmann]

Amazing vid, bro went straight to the points at all times. RESPECT

[@AmmarNiki]

I was gonna add a comment to put like alot more structures but it already has and i love the fact that you van cone across way more structures and loot as your wandering around your world

[@phoenixwright5545]

Thank you so much for making this video!

[@jaeteejee343]

great video! you're going places ❤

[@dhi_holo]

Two mods I'd like to suggest that's pretty small, but I feel helps make the world feel more real, are Distant Horizons and Better Clouds. Distant Horizons is getting updates to work with shaders soonish, so it'll be even cooler, but basically it lets you have a lower real render distance, with some LOD chunks then filling in for a long distance. Rather than say, a 16 chunk distance and you see the edge of a mountain, you can have something like 256 chunk render distance (with reduced quality to reduce lag), seeing multiple mountains into the distance, it's really nice for helping make the world feel touchable (think like, Breath of the Wild, you can see Death Mountain from the Great Plateau, but in Minecraft that's an impossible distance) Better Clouds just makes clouds have extra layers which I think is Very Pretty, just gives more dynamics to the sky

[@agentpaint]

14:30 after seeing that advancement screen I feel obligated to recommend the Paginated Advancements & Custom Frames mod or Better Advancements mod because that will save you so much scrolling time LOL

[@AbsolutelyAri1]

The pick up notifier is amazing for fishing. Cause like I didnt even realize a pulled a silk touch iron pickaxe while fishing one time 😭😭

[@midnightpurple555]

love the use of gran turismo menu music!

[@alien3200]

17:01 no way you play terraria, one of my favourite games of all time ❤

[@baskimo5346]

Didn't know you did minecraft. Gave me whiplash

[@quokkanox]

one more is the Essential mod, it combines zoomify, some client-side bedrock features( you can join other peoples singleplayer worlds, emotes, both paid and free cosmetics etc.) there are a BUNCH of other features that it adds but those are definitely the main ones.

[@ceo_reuben]

Thanks for the zoomify mod. I couldn't find any good alternatives to logical zoom since it became outdated until now

[@flyingpigsco6113]

Smart Pivot to Minecraft content. Love your Destiny 2 content! I wish you well on your future endeavors. 🎉

[@thejupiterone]

I love how he randomly implemented Terraria and Cult of the Lamb music into the video without anyone noticing.

[@AthesielIcosiel]

Sorry to promote my own stuff here, but like Genuinely I feel like my Breathing Freely datapack would fit perfectly here; it's like the cave dust mod but it applies a full ambience overhaul to every single biome.

[@shapeswitch_mood7221]

May I recommend the Snowy Sniffer Mod? It's a mod I found months ago, that make the Sniffer more dynamic to cold environment! Very simple to add, and honestly I wouldn't be able to tell it's not in vanilla! :D

[@adamgeigerjr6995]

I've always just assumed they're tropical creatures based on their colors & the fact that you can only find those eggs in warm oceans

[@shapeswitch_mood7221]

@@adamgeigerjr6995 Well it's not like this mod add variants of it. All it does it put a layer of snow on these giant mobs, like how a cow would get snow on their back in harsh winter. It's adorable, and you can remove that with many methods.

I would love for these to be Minecraft add-ons

[@NevilsicoShard]

Love the 3D "voxels" on blocks pack(s), I must keep note of that pack.

[@Alonzurro]

you should use the fresh moves resource pack (if you aren't using it already)

[@McPixel99]

I can't live without Projecte in my modpacks. That mod is such a godsend for when you need random items on the fly.

[@nembutsu1045]

mouse tweaks is so good, as is accurate block placement. I dont want to have to click 1 million times to get things done

[@dannyc7839]

Shulker Tool Tips needs to be added to the game permanently

[@demonjoeTV]

Absolutely, hopefully we get an Inventory at some point to add that

[@ubonga]

Thank you for making this!

[@SpiderMax95]

this really makes you realize how little has been done in minecraft's development on game feel. i feel like mojang forcing themselves to have perfect parity between bedrock, which has to run on phones, and java is holding back the game. there is just so much stuff that feels super dated and quality of life improvements which could elevate the game to another level. new updates always add so much stuff you never interact with myself because the game just doesnt tell you about them. why is there no update log ingame and a little tutorial for new features? add to that that all the new items and block types and the inventory is still just as small as when the game had less items than we have wood types today. minecraft today does not feel like a modern version of minecraft, but how minecraft felt back then but you installed a few mods that add things here and there without much cohesion.

[@edgarhdz4443]

great video, straight to the point and showcasing a lot of great mods, just a question:) where do you tweak the settings in for example the rain mod?

[@leonewashere]

i'd love to use the shaderpack as you have it now, but the old version doesn't seem to be available anymore. hopefully with some tweaks i can get it to look like yours, i find it really beautiful without being too much!

[@iljeboi]

no way you had the grand turismo 4 main menu soundtrack lmaooo

[@AboutToSink]

Loved the video, but when will the next cave hardcore video drop?

[@LousyBook01]

axoim is the best mod i've used and it's always up to date, it's a editing thingy in mc , also better than world edit

[@Mmarkus23]

Nice video, but I want to know what is your computer hardware that you're using?

[@Eunjiiiiiiii]

omg the Gran Turismo ost hit me hard

[@NotPyro404]

You could use Better Advancements (I believe that's what it is named) for a bigger Advancement Screen, could be helpful for the Mob Head Datapack, and just in general

[@AridDot]

you should try out LambDynamicLights mod(i don't know if shaders have dynamic lights since my laptop lags when i try to use them). it is the same thing that optifine does and add dynamic lights. When you hold a torch, or something that should produce light, it lights up the area around it. it also works when you throw the item. different items have different light levels. it doesn't affect mob spawning but it still is useful for me.

[@god_ozai828]

I feel like vanilla minecraft should have more features built in which you can enable disable, customize etc. mainly being the particles, like they have cherry tree leaf particles but no option to enable it for other trees, dont make it a permanent unchable thing but give the option to enable it, that way we dont have to install mods

[@tylerbrogan8998]

Awesome video! Is there a way to add some of these mods to my pre-existing vanilla world?

[@Keiko91101]

These mods and texture packs are way better than the official update itself

[@sanelmuric5534]

Question about Dungeons and Taverns, is it possible to turn off some nether stuff like Piglin Camps or something like that in the nether?

[@bruvance]

when you feel in the lava at the basalt delta it immediately cut to twix ad and it felt like a meme

[@3laa_aldeen]

for me, I collect texture packs together to make them work with each other to make my perfect version of the game. so far I've collected 50, 10 of them need Optifine, 3 bugs, and a lot more texture packs to choose from . when i finish i plan to start adding mods and data packs

[@adamlolbonus4977]

Gimme the list

[@clayballard6400]

Awesome list! So is fresh animations compatible with other resource packs now? I remember it wasn’t for a long time.
