[@fontajo]

Small minecraft youtuber? Must be a good video. I was right

[@moadot720]

Wow this video was only made eight days ago and he only has 2 videos so... (Written on 8/5/23.)

[@achintyapandey2985]

Yessir

[@ultradeady]

That a quality checkmark

[@NinjaBrickz]

Hopefully people do the same to mine that I'm join to make lol

[@xrayessay]

Man do I love these type of videos. Just straight to the point no strings attached.

[@k0ncursus]

Whenever I see vanilla+ the result usually doesn't feel very vanilla to me but you put together a really nice list! I actually picked up some of these. Awesome work, man.

[@k1w1._.]

what ones did you choose?

[@k0ncursus]

@@k1w1._. I grabbed Auto HUD and decided on easy magic and visual workbench while typing this out. For resource packs I grabbed animated textures. But the ones I already had were blur, falling leaves, Iris/Sodium/Indium, not enough animations, visuality, ambient sounds, easy anvils, entity model textures/features, presence footsteps, sound physics remastered, appleskin, and entity culling.

[@k1w1._.]

@@k0ncursus i feel like all those are essentials honestly because theyre just so good 😭

[@DenseMelon]

its because they are mostly client side

[@trevorcobelo8156]

I hate auto HUD tbh@@k0ncursus

[@TheFish711]

The spyglass mod needs to be in vanilla. That’s really cool and could get kids into astronomy.

[@bing4580]

im probably wrong but isnt astronomy already a thing in education edition?

[@LunerEclipseHD]

​@@bing4580idk

[@artiomboyko]

It would be really cool if they copied the real world night sky and people could study the constellations with a spyglass.

[@falciexd]

@@bing4580yeah but it should be in vanilla too, not every children has access to education edition lol, most people have never played it

[@Tazerboy10]

Yeah!

[@TheGreatOwlMaster]

I really recommend AppleSkin, ItemSwapper, Amecs, Arrows Info, Better Bookshelves, Better Recipe Book, Chat Heads, Colorize, Crawl, Disable Custom Worlds Advice, Explosive Enhancement, Enhanced Block Entites, Item Favorites, Grind Enchantments, Glowing Torchflower, NotEnoughAnimations, QuickShulker, Raised, Reacharound, Server Hats, Reimagined Menus, Smoke Suppression, WorldEdit, Xaero's Minimap/World Map and Zoomify. All of them are amazing mods. I can't play without ItemSwapper or the Xaero mods anymore, they're just too handy

[@Tazerboy10]

Dang, now that's a long this of mods and whatnot!

[@vilpatwolf4432]

Thank you for sharing, my coleection of mods has been increased :D

[@zapiltar]

I love that throughout the video the previous mods are kept enabled, and you can see how they build upon eachother

[@spotlight2164]

Amazing finally a clean mod showcase without unnecessary delay to show the mods main features

[@fronkus123]

I saw a similar video by someone else, and it was just 3 dudes yelling with obnoxious music and fast jump cuts. I’m so happy you did not do that. Thank you for just sticking to what the video is about, not wasting time, keeping the music chill, and presenting everything with just the perfect amount of demonstration. The way you speak is also nice. I will be checking out more of your videos 👍

[@JawKnee86]

This list is great, I love how short and to the point each section is. Also really appreciate that you showed the mod authors names and even whether it's client side or not.

[@bogusbogusbogusbogus]

I am appreciative of you, for getting straight to the point and linking to all the mods and timestamps in the description. Great video!

[@mega_exe5066]

Informative and well edited video, keep up the good work! I shall await for the next upload.

[@D_037]

This is possibly the best mod list showcase I have ever watched. All the mods and resource packs displayed are faithful to vanilla and actually improved gameplay. The way you present the features and details about each mods are concise and relevant. The extra bit of showing client/server detail is also very helpful. 10/10 video!

[@lugland]

Bro. Something about this video is just so amazing to me, I have seen these exact mods in other videos and I never cared for it but this video has got me installing every mod he says. Subscribed

[@MeleeChannel]

Such a wonderful display of mods, a lot of which I had never heard of! Certainly makes the idea of a much more vanilla-oriented playthrough plenty more interesting! Great video mate :)

[@posterboymc]

Great suggestions! I really love the simple mods like skin layers and sit. I have seen them but couldn't find them. Thanks for the video!

[@AvocadoPotato]

This was an amazing showcase. Thank you so much for this video!

[@solcitosaov]

This is a fantastic list! I've been using most of the mods before already, and they've been great.

[@nickphillips922]

Displaying the client and server side requirement made this video 10x mote helpful tysm

[@Ferno209]

Awesome video! I like to use the "Genuine Modpack" when I play minecraft for a Vanilla experience & now I have a few extra mods to toss in there! Thank you! :)

[@3DPrintingRockets]

I really well put together list of experience enhancing mods, looking forward to part 2!

[@swagtoast7527]

This is a great video, and I really appreciate you making this because not many people make mod videos like this. These are my type of mods and you picked lots of amazing ones

[@agoosemanoose]

Amazingly helpful vid, im currently tryning to make an all in one modpack for everyday use and this has been so useful.

[@cheesygaming3464]

The editing is so clean and he doesn’t waste anytime, A+ videos

[@blobbi]

glad to catch this channel early i can really tell you put in so much work good job

[@greencwf]

Amazing video! There was a lot of work that went into this, and it shows! I'm happy to see such great quality. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@SmashPlayz]

Great video and you identified some mods for me that I've used as part of modpacks, but didn't know which ones they were. I am officially your latest sub! Thanks for this!

[@Steveplays28]

Thanks for checking out my mod Realistic Sleep! Hope you're having fun playing, that modpack looks super fun, very similar to the mods I usually run.

[@wammysattic4660]

You have such a pleasant and polished voice I was surprised to see this is only your second video so far! Such an enjoyable watch, looking forward to seeing what else you have in store :)

[@JackAllpikeMusic]

great video :) straight into it, no wasting time or anything. good luck with the future dude.

[@Dan-km8je]

This is a really nice list! I've been playing modded for years, so usually I dont find videos like this informative, they're usually just filled with the same 15 or so mods, but you had quite a few new ones that i'm sure to check out. Definitely looking forwards to a sequel, you've gotten most of the common ones out of the way with this vid, so a sequel is sure to have plenty of deep cuts.

[@Neosilvium27]

Your video covered a lot of resource packs/mods that most others don’t cover. Thanks :D

[@MyNeLi_cr]

That's a pretty good list of mods you made! I feel like installing the visual ones for my vanilla worlds to be fair. And in not so long a friend of mine is gonna get a pc and will finally able to play minecraft, so I feel like a lot of those will make her learning how to play better, so thanks a lot!

[@klofiks]

amazing video! would love to see more like this

[@greezeer4185]

Great quality for channel size, incredibly useful video!

[@wedgefry7277]

Loved the video, looking forward to the next!

[@supdown123]

Great video. I already use most of the mods here but it’s great that they reach a bigger audience. Especially ones like sodium.

[@leethatrat]

this is awesome, love the editing and the music is very chill

[@mikemerrell1586]

Great video. I'll definitely be added some of these to my game!

[@GIFOYT]

As a youtuber myself, not only I have learnt about news mods I can use, but also some editing and music choice tips with this video. Awesome!😊

[@somethingj8957]

Aye bro not trying to down-talk the smaller youtubers etc, but thank you. All the other videos I find are just too loud and quick. Your chill and I can actually listen to you. Thank you for saving me from a headache at 3am.

[@DissonantSynth]

Awesome list. Thank you!

[@fx_ls6079]

ngl i've been in the market for some new packs and mods and you just helped me out a ton, thanks man 🙏

[@brandongordon4019]

Great video, definitely going to have to check some of these out

[@spots8337]

this is a quality mod review! earned a sub for sure

[@br0kenPixel]

I loved this video, I'd love to see some more content from you!

[@youssefa.raheim3079]

You're a great youtuber! Keep up the good work mate.

[@JasonBK21]

This was very nice! 👍 Keep up the good work!

[@carolinabras2541]

Very good video, excited for more

[@e-man763]

Bravo! I added probably 90 percent of these! good work.

[@_Emit_]

the Auto Hud mod is so cool, I remember that being a toggleable vanilla feature in Xbox360 edition

[@batatasassadas]

I don't remember that. Maybe you mean the HUD Opacity option?

[@zemchia]

That wasn't a thing in the 360 version. However, there was a similar feature where the HUD would become less visiable until you swapped items (this was even in the Legacy Xbox One edition, before that got discontinued).

[@Akuxz]

⁠@@zemchia It’s also in Bedrock which I don’t think many know about.

[@fw_gamer2777]

​@@Akuxzbedrock has the item animations built in too right?

[@twaisu.aep.]

Thank you for this man!

[@MawaiiKawaii]

this is literally what i was looking for, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@chedcraft_]

These are the best quality of life mods! You've won a sub!

[@BasickingYT]

I gotta give you props. very clear and informative video. Thank you asymmetrics!!

[@heitorguilherme2362]

Amazing! you helped me a lot with these mods, I was looking for these mod styles to use.

[@gabriellejacquiet9925]

Such a good informative video, on top of that it's nice to listen to. Definitely keeping it in for me to properly take a look at once I get back to modded gameplay

[@zennayo1]

Great list!

[@tangent_asp6001]

Downloaded nearly every mod except for the fabric ones, im on forge and always use 1.19.2. Thanks for increasing my modlist even more

[@thinhba4408]

you put it back in the drive, I appreciate it

[@MusicalSkele-]

this is such a great video, i'll watch to the end

[@Sub_Atomicc]

Pretty sure this vid just hit the algorithmn, and for good reason. This is a really helpful vid, thanks!

[@cxtepo126]

awesome video! just what i was looking for!!

[@joshgautron3027]

Great video dude!

[@BamBoozil]

amazing video, didn’t expect you to have so little subscribers well done dude also added some of the mods myself thanks so much ❤

[@ihasamelon6679]

great video! i love these mods the clouds lag on low end but i probably shouldve expected it hahaha

[@therabbidt]

[@MiScusi69]

Excellent video!

[@kirax_x5984]

Great work keep it up.🔥

[@Phillip_Anatra]

[@imslimey779]

Very well thought out video! Here before you blow up!

[@lean4832]

Thanks for clarifying if the mods are client or server side!! Very well edited video, keep it up!

[@trolled6886]

These are some great mods you showed

[@TheIcyGene]

Small Minecraft creator. High resolution video. Right to the point. Understandable and soothing voice. Background music. Mod showcase at the end. Amazing.

[@c4vi4z]

really nice work man! you have a nice and calming voice, which helpes me listen to all these mods & resource packs. hope you have more content in store for us!

[@WhizzyCh]

Just started getting back into Minecraft after a long break (< 1.18/Caves n Cliffs update) and these mods helped a bunch in making the game more enjoyable :)

[@mateo4788]

Best minecraft mod list video I've ever seen.

[@eddsmithinhimer7767]

Hey great video, hope you start finding the success you deserve!

[@cappo1178]

6:00 is so cool! it reminds me of when i would look up at popcorn ceilings and see stuff in it like cars or buildings! its really cool that the sever can see too

[@bartjanik120]

holy I didn't realize Minecraft can do this I haven't played in so long and just started again I'm definitely gonna be adding as many as I can to make my game look and feel better

[@Dfnkeyyy]

Amazzing work keeeerep it up

[@bbeast1113]

This video is amazing, I like how it shows if its client sided or server sided keep up the good work!

[@Milli-0]

I will create a modpack with these. Good work

[@SMKurama]

Never heard of Auto HUD.. Will 100% use it now! Thank you!

[@UnderQuotaGuy123]

Wow this is really good, I enjoyed this more then some most higher sub channels videos :)

[@jadesprite]

Very useful, thank you!!

[@BlueFlare]

vanilla tweaks is seriously the best texture pack ever. glad you mentioned it!

[@zydeysu]

Birth of a future legend 🎉

[@backabacka4051]

awesome vid man

[@my-kill4714]

what a cool and chill video

[@minegamerlive99]

TX SIR FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO 🤧❤ VERY HELPFULL

[@bomba76]

I really love this list, and although I often play with similar mods, there were some I didn’t know about here. I do think you missed lithium and starlight though, which would work great next to sodium and indium.

[@arlwiss5110]

helpful and informative. lookin good

[@Boltzter]

awesome video!

[@michaelol]

Very good video, love that a good portion are client side. This allows me to play whatever server I want and make everything look a lot better for example playing on Origin Realms

[@corporalspiro5810]

Straight to the point, have a like ^^.

[@The_WereF0X]

Awesome Video!

[@HK_Aimations]

super under rated youtuber, you have a bright future ahead of you.

[@shosplecolupis8794]

this is super helpful, thank you!

[@yourcasual_dude23]

perfect. very useful, title is very true and in general this video is just really well made, it gives you descriptions of all the mods, it also isnt nothing crazy like a dragon mod or something like that, its just vanilla+ mods.
