Enjoy a catalogue of some of the most staple mods that are deemed 'essential'. This is of course subjective from person to person, but many of these are familiar enough that you'll most likely come across in most modpacks. Let me know your thoughts on this video! Did you like it, what did you want to see improved and would you like to see other videos like this! 🙂 Disclaimer: The results in the performance mods will vary from machine to machine and depends on other factors (memory, specs, version, how many mods, etc.)

[@morgans4977]

In case you care, at 08:53 your book flyout for Lithium is showing Phosphor info instead. This is a great overview of the backbone modpack mods and I really appreciate the extra notes on which versions a particular mod is useful on due to native Mojang fixes, etc. Thanks for sharing!

[@DontBother_YT]

For the "Enough Items" mods, do you know if there's a mod or some config option that allows repeated recipes/items like doors, for example, to be "folded" into a single entry on the "Enough Items" menus? I could swear that I've seen that modification on some older YT modpack playthroughs but I can never seem to find the way to actually fold the recipes in any of the mods. Much appreciated if you could either find that option or mod.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@morgans4977 Yea I noticed that as I was putting the final details in on KZbin, but thankyou, I needed to do a more thorough check on this video for mistakes! Pleased you enjoyed this video :)

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@DontBother_YT There should be some config option in the main Enough Items mods to be able to change it. Never really done it myself, but if there's anything to 'fold' repeated recipes/items, it would be in their configs. Possibly in REI or EMI, though I'm not sure what it would be labelled as.

[@jerhom2787]

Some of us prefer open source mods, just saying

Also consider: - AI Improvements - Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded - Bad Optimizations - Better Mods Button - Better Advancements - Catalogue - Clear Despawn - Clean Tooltips - Ding - Distant Horizons - Eccentric Tome - Every Compat - Extra Compact - Fast Paintings - Fastload - any zoom mod - Neko's Enchanted Books - Neruina - Ticking Entity Fixer - Noisium - Not Enough Recipe Book - Iris / Oculus - Redirector - Remove Reloading Screen - Saturn - Seamless - Screenshot Viewer - Tiny Item Animations - YUNG's Menu Tweaks just felt like adding some great mods that i had in my forge 1.20.1 pack :3

[@ClassyYellow]

Yes these are so good I've used most of them and they are so nice to have

[@greywolf9783]

Distant horizons hates me 😢

[@nl16093]

Thanks alot for this list homie :D

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@alululululu Thanks for this list mate! I can't believe I forgot to include Screenshot Viewer even though I used it in the video!! Good ideas for a part 2 if I ever did one :D

[@lizerdon]

Sorry for the noob question but are you sure it's called extra compact? Also thank you for the awesome list.

[@PAPSi2]

I just have to say, I have been working on a modpack for a month now and I JUST CAME AGROSS ONE REAL FUCKING GOOD MINECRAFT MOD LIST VIDEO. This video was put together very well and well written. Great job and keep up the great work

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thanks mate! Hope your modpack making goes well :D

[@forestcat512]

When this video was recommended, i was like "uhh probably i will know them all". But while watching it, even though i knew most of the mods there were some mods i didn't know about. You did a great job and have done some good research about mods. Also you gave all of them a fair show and understandable comparison to the vanilla gameplay. Great job

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thanks mate! I was expecting this too to just be all the familiar mods but suprisingly there's some that are a bit under the radar. Always ensure I try to show the mod to the best of my ability. :)

[@albert836dx5]

2:05 FINALLY, someone mentions the EMI mod, one of my favorite recipe viewers mods for modern Minecraft

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Very nice mod that I'm surprised hasn't been talked about more!

[@Manie230]

Never heard of it but was instantly sold on the fact that you can have crafting trees that show you how much you’ll need to build said item.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@@Manie230 Makes it very helpful for determining the quantities for materials!

[@Manie230]

@@CrittersModMenagerie exactly. In some mods you have such convoluted crafting recipes that it’s impossible to keep track. This mod would be perfect for that cause you have one pretty convenient way of looking at the whole crafting process. Love it.

[@rickyc1410]

I’ve been looking for a video like this for a while, something that is an overview of the mods to use as a base for modpacks, especially the performance and stability mods. This is great!

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@rickyc1410 I'm glad people like you are looking for a video like this! I remember a few months back looking for something like this when prepping this video but I couldn't find anything that fit the bill. There was quite a few mods left out but works as a good starting point. Hope this is helpful for you mate! :)

[@scyfinn7866]

Waystones is simple but very useful if you like exploration-oriented mods, but don't have the time or patience to return to your base to drop off your loot. I don't always use it, but it is vital to me personally when I go heavy on exploration mods and it really keeps the excitement from devolving into tedium. Though I wasn't able to get it to work on my desired setup Wormhole (Portals) is a good concept for portals you can link distant areas of your world without having to traverse the Nether every single time you want to go to a specific far away place you frequent while maintaining some balance if you want transportation to still be somewhat expensive.

[@soupra]

He mentions in the beginning of the video how the mods are not additions to the game but quality of life and optimization mods

[@SammySemicolon]

Even as someone who knows their stuff with throwing together modpacks, this is a really nice video :)

[@Shywizz]

It becomes a game in of itself..

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thanks!

[@PL45VYR]

Omg it’s SammySemicolon, developer of the awesome Malum mod!!!!

[@bengoodwin2141]

I highly recommend not using optifine, or any variant of it. It changes the game in ways no mod ever should, such as deleting functions that java relies on and replacing them with inaccurate ones. It has been known to cause all sorts of unpredictable issues both on its own and with other mods, and the performance improvements are hardware dependent at best, on some devices they don't improve anything at all. Another thing it does is sometimes decrease your render distance by 2, but then say it isn't changed, leading to a fake performance improvement just by doing less work.

[@craftrabbit7306]

26:48 That's one hell of a useful spyglass right there

[@sreeko1]

I have seen 10+ mod videos and haven't even cared to like the videos but this one is great. Totally beginners friendly. Thanks.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thankyou! One of those videos to help start with modded Minecraft

[@sreeko1]

@@CrittersModMenagerie Those performance mods are amazing. I obviously knew a few but had no idea there were plenty more which actually boost performance or reduce lags(I am using Bliss/Complementary shaders, mods really helped out to give that little boost and give lower load to CPU). Other sections are really good. Whoever grabbed MC for this sale and likes to mod should refer to this video.

[@hugedeer22]

beautifully edited, and a clear feeling that your videos give. would love to see more like this

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@hugedeer22 Cheers mate! Will do my best to get some more videos like this out :D

[@cristian-TI]

Excellent Quality of video. Separating the mods in different categories, adding really cool b-roll, the names of mods in a paper on screen, and a lot of useful mods.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thankyou! :)

[@Astro-SB]

incredible video, I have been making modpacks for me and my friends for about 7 years now and there is still some mods that i didnt know about. Very good research, very good mods, very nice editing loved it watched it till the very end. Keep going with this style you will make it big.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@Astro-SB Thanks mate! Even with all these mods, there's some that are hidden under the radar. Hopefully some of them can make nice additions to your modpacks

[@maximusbuldozer4089]

This was without a doubt the best listing and explanation video for the different kinds of Performance boost mods. Thanks! And amazing work

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Cheers mate!

[@DissonantSynth]

Spectacular video. 10/10. Super high quality. Your style is perfect

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thanks mate!

[@Techcactuss]

Man, you're the best, the first video i watched from yours is the iron jetpacks mod 1.19.4, and the editing got a little bit better, keep it up!

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@Techcactuss Always striving for that 1% improvement in the videos. Thanks for tuning in and for your kind words! Crazy to think that video was almost a year ago already

[@cinnamoncat8950]

wow this is super well put together! all the stuff you put on screen is very helpful.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@cinnamoncat8950 Cheers! Pleased to hear that the video was helpful!

[@Zandaarl]

Thank you for this amazing and comprehensive overview!

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

No worries!

[@siesmec4356]

I really liked this video! Usually I don't peak much into the Best Mods video genre, but gave it a shot, and I must say this is one of the best channels that does it! You mentioned mods that many others don't (EMI for example) and included mods that I thought where long gone, or I haven't heard of (atlas, and map atlases). I liked that you didn't give your opinion much, just a brief overview of the mod in question, unlike other videos in the same genre of this one. 10/10 will recommend :D

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thanks mate! Yea, with a video that was meant to introduce you to a starter suite of mods, it's inevitable to mention the mainstream popular mods, since they're in many packs for a reason. Glad that I mentioned some others which are lesser known though! Pleased to hear you enjoyed this video :D

[@ozzie2954]

This video definitely saved me some time as I've been trying to make a list of vanilla plus mods. Also great editing dude :P Btw, could you mention what shader pack you were using? The double layered clouds looked amazing.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@ozzie2954 Glad this helps you out with finding those mods! Most of the video uses Nostalgia Shaders V5 set at Ultra settings. Those clouds do look awesome!

[@ozzie2954]

​@CrittersModMenagerie thanks dude :)

[@onufmi]

This video is amazing for creating a modpack! everything is explained. alternatives are mentioned.very well done!

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Trent2Luigi]

I would add that theres a mod called Essential Mod, that adds a social messager to talk, share screenshots, customize your player model, and even freely play a single player world online with friends, again, for free! No enough people talk about it, it does everything Bedrock does, but better, because the money is going to a nodding team and not a multi billion dollar company.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Heard some stuff about Essential, but didn't realise it did all of that. Thanks for the headsup!

[@Trent2Luigi]

@@CrittersModMenagerie Yep, one of the best things I've found for Minecraft. Makes playing with my best friend on modded packs free and easy to use, as well as having a better connection then any other service I've used. It needs to be talked about more.

[@beepymemes]

they do some sketchy shit though like stealing code I think.

[@Trent2Luigi]

@@beepymemes got any proof on that? And if you say to search it up myself, I swear to piss...

You can install both JEI and EMI together, JEI will be hidden and share its library with EMI for better mod integration

I've been working on a 1.21 fabric Modpack on and off for weeks now, honestly it sucks that fabric mods can be run on forge but not the other way around, fabric seems better optimised to me, but there are like 4 exploration mods from forge that i really want but can't have. Despite all of my work searching through existing Modpacks, your video has been a great help, thank you

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Glad to hear this was helpful! Yea, it's unfortunate with how that works with Fabric and Forge mods. Hopefully you're able to finish you pack together and find some good substitute mods

[@mastere6115]

One I really like is the seasons mod, it's not a big mod but it adds so much weight to the passage of time in a world. Especially if you add a form of temperature mod that makes it during winter times or super times you need to wear appropriate clothing. Much like a good number of RPG games

Awesome video. Have you planned making similar videos for mods itself, with different themes? Those themes could stretch out the whole video and showcase different mods for similar ideas, like create and AE2 for automation, or different world gen mods

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

The closest video to something like this was an 'Essential' MC mods for multiplayer, basically this but multiplayer specific mods which wouldn't be worked on in a while if I did do it. Beyond that, I remember trying out a Mods to Overhaul the Trails and Tales Update when 1.20 mods were coming in but I kind of fell off it doing the script. Also have other video ideas in a similar vein to this, but haven't really looked into them.

[@doomeddom8960]

I like droplight/loot beams, makes it easier to see dropped items.

[@Evernov]

I like this video style. Feels unique compared to other mod showcases.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Wanted to make sure each mod showcase I do is different in some form from other videos. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SpencerOReilly]

This could also be taken as a list of quality of life changes that minecraft might want to consider adding to the base game. Some could reserved to creative mode and some would need to be tweaked to considerably to fit the vanilla feel. But mouse tweaks and swing through should just be in the game.

[@NeedForMotivationn]

I would add Sophisticated Backpacks and Storage too. This backpack mod is so useful while traversing the world. Its size is huge and the upgrades it has are convenient

[@goldeagleproductions]

Great video! I would also suggest The Immersive Music Mod for the "Quality of Life" mods. It's very early in development, but it's the highest quality ambient music mod on the scene right now.

I love the Corpse mod, so another thing worth noting is the fact that you can change how long the corpse lasts. By default it lasts forever, but you could make it last for only an hour, for example. I think you can also toggle whether or not it can be destroyed by lava.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Indeed, the corpse can be configured to last longer and whether it can be destroyed by lava. Likewise, I really like the Corpse mod!

[@gustavomalvestiti8865]

I already know and plan to use the vast majority of these mods, but it's not every day that you come across a well-edited, structured, no TSS, and above all, entertaining video. Subscribed already. Just a quick question, did you use any animation mod/pack for this video. EDIT: After a closer it actually looks like it's mod, probably Real Camera.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@gustavomalvestiti8865 Glad you enjoyed the video! It was one of those video types where you know most of the mods in it, but I think it was beneficial to have a video that presents all those mods in the once place to easily view them. Yes, I have First Person Model mod installed, which is an alternative to Real Camera

[@explodinghammeronthe17thof36]

[@QueenLizby]

a LOT of amazing mods, thank you so much, but I do have 1 note; Have you ever heard of the delightful mod called Mouse Wheelie? it's a lot like mouse tweaks and inventory tweaks but a little less bulky, it doesn't span everything those mods can do but it does touch upon a lot of what they're capable of.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

No worries! I have not heard of Mouse Wheelie, by the sound and look of it, seems interesting. Will have to take a loot at it sometime!

I always have Carry On, Crawl, and Wall Jump with any pack besides performance improvements and EMI. Being able to move chests and barrels with all its contents intact is the best I could ask for someone who re-innovate my base often. Crawl helps me when I build complicated and compact machines. (I play create mod a lot) And Wall Jump gets rid of the hassle of having to place blocks just to reach a bit of height, because let’s admit it, that ruins a lot of beautiful, completed builds and sceneries. I would even lose map and mini map for these 3 mods since build-in map already works fine but these 3 abilities are not. I mean, it just doesn’t make sense! You couldn’t scale over a fence with a height of your waist even though you already can jump 1 meter high. You couldn’t crawl at will, but if you close trapdoor over you, then you suddenly can. And come on! Moving hundreds of items out of a box every time you want to move them?

[@BVasquezp]

Shootout to Forgery/Fabrication, a huge collection of fixes, tweaks and balance changes for vanilla minecraft that's fully customizable and replaces many mods by itself. Also the many mods by Someaddon. He has many performance enhancing mods and general fixes, along with some tweak mods.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@BVasquezp Thanks for mentioning those! Never seen Forgery/Fabrication before, it would have fit quite well with this video. Quite a few nice mods from Someaddon to enhance and fix the game too. Always mods to discover with a game like this

[@BVasquezp]

@@CrittersModMenagerie Glad to help. Perhaps you could do a followup video? there are a few extra mods going around that I consider essential. Here are a some from my current mod setup: - Async locator - Chunky - Sinytra connector (Requires Forgified Fabric API) + Connector Extras - Clumps - Better third person - Cycle switcher - Entity texture features - Entity model features - CIT Resewn / Forge CIT - Let me despawn - Mobtimizations - Modern Fix - No telemetry (functionality included in Debugify, but this one works in Forge 1.20.1) - Paper doll - Stylish effects - Yung's Traveler Titles Also I'm waiting for Better Biome Blend to update to 1.20.1, but it covers 1.19 currently.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@BVasquezp Could be something on the cards, depending on general reception. Thanks for this list too! Modern Fix and Clumps I actually already covered in the video, but the others are good suggestions too for a potential video

[@mikaelbarker5421]

This is a great video ! Can you tell me how you managed to get the orb experience tooltip at 11:18 ?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

That's from Pick Up Notifier, one of the mods that are featured near the end of the video

[@LevelUpGA]

Best are gravestone and ex nihilo, so if you accidentally destroy all blocks (even bedrock) you can still beat dragon 😎

[@MultiDakman]

you didn't mention it but despite not having a compat mod like REI, EMI can have JEI installed underneath it so you can use its addons in addition.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

I did forget to mention that, it is a neat addition to enhance EMI, thanks for mentioning that!

[@rensawakening_]

also, theres some fabric only mods that works on forge using sinytra connector

[@theleviathan3312]

If you want a mod like optifine that has more compatibility try oculus for forge it does have some dependents like rubidium, oculus also let's you use shaders.

[@itsgirlcraft5842]

I personally always like to use the notes mod. Ill have to check the creator, but it's a must-have for me personally. Really, its the best for anyone into roleplaying or writing story type stuff, but also as a coordinates book! Plus you can open up the various notes in a note program on the computer (at least on Windows). Edit: its by Chaosyr :> easily my favorite essential mod, I've even tried getting it on vanilla worlds and stuff. Its all clientside too!

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Looks pretty cool! Very handy indeed for noting things down, that feature of viewing them in an external note program is also quite nifty!

First, would you mind putting this KZbin video link into your Google Doc? Having a reverse reference closes the loop. Secondly, what is the camera mod you use to put your character on the left-hand-side during third-person view?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Just added the video link! Shoulder Surfing (Shoulder Surfing depending on modloader) adds that new perspective.

[@butterbits372]

Don't forget emi has included jei compat so you can stick it in a pre-existing mod pack with many add ons and custom recipes.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

That's true, I missed that part!

[@Damglador]

Bedrock users: At least we have "good optimization" and big salmons🗿

[@midnight9113]

If i could ask for a mod to make more realistic, id love to where data saves what where you been, but instead of an easy mini map you can always use, but have to make maps to use said mini maps/chunks of the world map, with this you can also easily able to cope maps to put on item frams as well as make line like thteds to show roads or pins for bad or good things

[@arisenspirit]

That's what map atlas does

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

What arisenspirit mentioned, Map Atlases seems to be the closest mod that does what you want. The only thing I'm unsure about is whether you can copy the maps on item frames (could be done in the cartrography station maybe?)

[@EnjiGold]

For all of the "branch" mods in the performance section, do you have to install those in ADDITION to the base mod? Or are they just their own entire seperate mod built from the foundation of the base mod?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

The branch mods operate as their own mods, so they don't require the base mod. They're basically recreations of a mod but for a different mod loader (or for an older version of the game).

[@itsgirlcraft5842]

@nurseval Shrimp's Distinct Potions for the potion textures and miles's Enchanted Books for all the enchanted books (plus all the normal book textures). They're both resourcepacks which I'll be covering in a video where I show all my current mods/resourcepacks in detail.

[@Willster9000]

Is there a map mod that allows you to mark maps? Like how people make giant wall maps in their base, but making those easily markable?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

There's none that I know of specifically that does it unfortunately.

[@Ronzellll]

About the mod that lets you break a specific type of block all at once, what if I broke a piece of netherac and then all of it would break and that would surely be the new netherite mining technique but it will cost you your computer due to all of the block being broken in the nether

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

If you broke a block like netherrack, I believe it just breaks a good chunk around you. It wouldn't actually break all the netherrack or all the stone at once for reasons like you said. The radius is configurable if I recall so you can raise or lower it, but it won't actually go that far.

[@smelly2897]

Can you give a list of resource packs you use? I noticed the chainmail armor and Husks look different and I’d like to know where to download them

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@smelly2897 The chaimanil armour is from the Better Chainmail resourcepack and the husks are from the Better Zombies resourcepack. They can both be downloaded on either CurseForge or PlanetMinecraft if I recall. There's too many resourcepacks to list out here

[@user-5tg3h8i]

You forgot "You're in grave Danger" as a Gravestone Mod

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

That's another alternative, thanks for the info

[@BlueFoxProductions]

What's the mod you used for the 3D torch? Does it also do dynamic lighting?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

The torches are from the Luminous Resourcepack. I don't believe dynamic lighting can be done from the pack, it would need to be achieved with shaders and/or a dynamic lights mod.

15:40 Vsause mentioned 🗣️

[@Fizcakesprite]

I recommend using Chorine, because it can be combatable with a lot of mods. Its a fork of sodium.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Nice suggestion!

[@CookieDemonMC]

I just uploaded my first survival series, if you could check it out and let me know what you think! Appreciate you!!

[@greywolf9783]

I'm thinking about making a New tardis pack and thoughts?

[@teippeo]

which mod adds the Elytra enchantment "Ascending" from 27:39?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@teippeo That's from the More Enchantments mod! www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/more-enchantments_

[@scpredmage]

Kinda sad to see Nvidium left out, as I think it deserves more attention. Nvidium is a Fabric addon for Sodium that replaces the renderer with one that uses Nvidia-specific OpenGL extensions called mesh shaders. It not only improves frame rates significantly more than the standard Sodium renderer, but also allows you to have it keep chunks in VRAM to continue rendering them even beyond the normal render limit, even on multiplayer servers, for almost no performance impact. There are two drawbacks: first, as alluded to earlier, it requires a new-ish Nvidia GPU; it needs either a GTX 1600 series or RTX 2000 series card or newer. The second is that it does not work if you have shaders enabled. If you use it with an unsupported GPU or enable shaders, it falls back to the Sodium renderer without causing any problems, so there's no harm in including it in a modpack. There currently is no Forge port of Nvidium, however I have gotten it to work with Embeddium using Sinytra Connector. It requires some config file editing, so that Sinytra knows Embeddium satisfies the Sodium requirement, and to remove the Sodium version number requirements. If a modpack creator wishes to include it in a modpack, they can easily include the two config files needed in their modpack, and players won't need to do a thing.

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@scpredmage It was written in my script, however when it came to recording, Nvidium was oddly performing lower than just using Sodium. Tried to have a look at it in case it was something on my end, but eventually I had to just move on and scrap it from the video. If I ever did a follow on from this video, I'll do what I can to bring Nividium back in

[@nova6194]

There are forge forks, acedium and emviddium

19:00 it's not Me Gane, it's Meh Gah Neh which is japanese for glasses

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

My apologies! Didn't realise that's how the mod name was pronounced. Thanks for letting me know

[@ozuq]

@CrittersModMenagerie I need to know what grass texture is plss. 16:20

[@CamelCraft_]

1:26 what resource pack did you use for the discs?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@CamelCraft782 Unique Discs! www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/unique-discs

[@CamelCraft_]

@@CrittersModMenagerie thank you!

[@em4392]

what is the resourcepack that gives you these undead mob variants at 31:11

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@em4392 They're part of the Better Zombies resourcepack, which adds dozens of new biome specific skins for zombies and some like these affecting husks! www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/better-zombies

[@block_01_]

2:23 I can already imagine how complex it would be for a mod like gregtech

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

Pretty complex!

[@Pokycraftgamer9]

what texture packs are you using in this?

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@Pokycraftgamer9 Quite a few. Fortunately I'm making a video at the moment which covers what my mod setup is, resource packs included!

[@basic6735]

What's the name of the resource pack for the fancier chainmail? Looks dope

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

@basic6735 Better Chainmail resourcepack. Should find it on CurseForge or PlanetMinecraft. Defintely a must have for me, it looks amazing!

[@basic6735]

@@CrittersModMenagerie Thanks a ton, great video too btw. Very informative

[@CrittersModMenagerie]

No worries mate!
