Have you ever heard about Minecraft Mods?
I’ve been using a lot of mods when I play Minecraft recently. Mod is short for “modification”, they are pieces of code you install using using software such as Forge or Fabric. The main difference between them is that Forge can handle heavy mods that are very big(usually over 500mb) and Fabric is lighter and is used for mods that don’t require much power. You use them to add or change something in Minecraft.
The mods I use the most are: Optifine, Iris/Oculus, Sodium/Rubidium.
These are all performance and UI based mods that make the game less laggier and easier to play.
The mods I use for fun are like the Mustard Virus Mod pack by Forge Labs, Arcticraft by Forge Labs, Parasites by Forge Labs and Medieval Minecraft by Forge Labs .
The Mustard Virus is a modpack where you have to survive a zombie apocalypse where there are over 200 zombies everywhere and they can see you from up to 2 miles.
Arcticraft is a mod pack where you are in the Canadian Arctic and you have to find water and food to survive. The main mod in this mod pack is “Tough As Nails” Where it adds temperature and thirst which makes Minecraft a lot more challenging and hard to play. I’ve played it a couple of times but in the end I either die of hypothermia or thirst.
The Parasites mod pack is one of the best because it infects animals, villagers and even monsters. It spreads rapidly through your world and the ground and becomes a mushy, gross green swamp if you do not maintain the ground. The scariest monster of the parasites is a weird flower-type creature that comes out of the ground and eats you. To survive this modpack I usually make a tower and dig deep underground for emergency escapes.
My favourite mod pack is Medieval Minecraft because it adds fun bosses and dungeons to the game. You will find watchtowers, villages and even castles throughout the world. The hardest thing about it is that you need really strong armour to go against the knights of the castles and villages. It also adds very dangerous animals like the Crocodile Snapping Turtle, the Crocodile which kills you in swamps using barrel rolls and these huge birds that have knife-like claws and shoot them at you. The funniest thing when playing it is that you sometimes find these tiny trader goblins that can give you really good tools if you give them diamonds. They also smelt iron for you so you don’t have to use a furnace.
The other kind of mods except for these is Shaders. Shaders adds shading to Minecraft so it looks extremely realistic. It adds depth and shadow to everything there is. The shaders I use for Minecraft are:
For SMPs: Silders Medium
For Hypixel mini-games and PVP based games: Silders Light
For the Replay Mod: Continuum Shaders
