Mods for Minecraft 1.18

TipTheScales is a very popular yet very simple Minecraft mod for adjusting the scaling of the GUI by replacing some of the vanilla code to change the appearance. The main thing it does is change the GUI scale option in the video settings to have a slider rather than a simple button.In vanilla, the GUI Scale option is a button, pressing it changes the number and the scale which can be quite sudden and big as it does not even ask you for confirmation. This replaces said button with a slider which does not change until you let go. Like the vanilla game, by default, there are 5 scales.1x – The Smallest    2x – Small    3x  – Big    4x - The Biggest    Auto – This the what you get by default, in most cases it just sticks     to 4xThe mod does very little else outside of some basic bytecode manipulation. The GitHub that has the source code (which is just a MultiLoader project (Jaredll08 is also the person behind it)) has almost blank entry point files and most of the work is done by a few pieces of SpongeMixin.MisterLauncher’s article claims that there are prompts in text files, however when looking at the code we see no evidence of this. We were at 1st unsure what the mod did as Sodium already did what TipTheScales does and what it does was so basic we did not know what to look for, we watched and have attached the video from the MisterLauncher page by a 3rd party YouTuber and added some pictures for clarity.The mod in general is unneeded. The person behind it is very well known for many of his mods (and is quite questionable), but this is one of his most popular despite having limited functionality. The mod does not work with Optifine and explicitly in the code tells the game to not run the changes if Optfine is detected. The mod is also obsoleted in Sodium, as mentioned above, Sodium has a similar slider that does similar things in its custom video settings screen. Even in vanilla, the default button is enough. There is little reason to use it in a modpack as you can just make the changes yourself manually without the mod and requiring all users to download this unneeded mod, additionally, I generally hate when they make changes to the GUI scale requiring me to change it back. It only really makes sense for things like BetterF3 or other things with big GUI or if you have a weird monitor configuration that is too big or too small.If you were cursed and got a modpack with a small GUI scale (or just want to change the GUI scale in general) here is how to fix it. Removing the mod by itself will not do anything as the mod just changes a vanilla user interface, you will still need to go to Options > Video Settings > GUI Scale and set it to the number you want (preferably before removing the mod (if you decide to remove the mod) as the slider is in some ways more pleasing).Jaredll08 has stated in the Diluv Discord that he does not want his mods reposted, so we just put curse links to download.

Visual Workbench is a simple Vanilla Plus QOL mod which adds a visual effect to crafting tables. When crafting, the items will appear on top of the crafting table just slightly hovering. The result item is in the centre above the rest of the items. This makes it look a lot like the crafting in the music videos where they show crafting stuff physically instead of undercover. One big thing that is actually different within the game is that by default you will need to manually take your items out of the crafting table, if you just leave the crafting table the items inside the crafting table stay within the crafting table.There is 1 big drawback though, that is of in-game security. This mod enables people around you to see what you are doing, this makes it possible for them to plot against you more easily and makes it not good. This mod is mostly an appearance mod but can cause issues with regards to security/privacy for the players. The mod is does work with other modded crafting tables. Many are built in, but you can still add new ones by editing a config file at .minecraft/config/visual_workbench.json and simply adding the id of the crafting table to the array. Other parts of the game can be configured in MC Forge in game if the mod “Config Menus for Forge” is installed. On Fabric (what we used to test) there is not currently a way to do any config in game. The main config file is just a TOML file which has a few fields such as flat rendering instead of 3D rendering and the ability to turn on or off the result display. Config is different on server.Visual Workbench is involved with LunaPixel studios who are involved in a lot of other big projects.The mod was influenced by RealBench for 1.12.2 and uses some code from Crafting Station.The mod also requires Forge Config API For Fabric for Fabric and Puzzles API.

Puzzles Lib is a library designed for many mods made by fuzs_. It contains many abstractions designed to be used on many loaders. Most fuzs_ mods use it, such as Visual Workbench and many others.One of the top features is many abstractions across loaders, similar to Balm or Architectury or Moonlight Lib. This means that it will make it easier for him to make mods that work on both MC Forge and Fabric/Quilt.Some of the changes to the game added by the library are:An EventBus similar to MC Forge’s IModBusEvent for doing things based on events.Registries (MC Forge is known for their limiting of Vanilla registries making mods on multiple platforms harder without abstraction)Messages between client and server with sync and automatic serialisation based on Java’s record type (1.17 and newer).  Annotation-based configs based on MC Forge Config and its Fabric Port Custom Data for Entities, Block Entities, and Chucking with MC Forge’s Capability System or Cardinal Components (built-in on the Fabric  version)   Large changes to the biome and world gen configuration.This library is mostly meant for fuzs_ but other developers are allowed to use it for their own mods if they wish.If you are on fabric you need to install the unofficial Fabric port of the MC Forge Config API.Some mods which use it are:Air  HopBartering  Station    Better Animations Collection    Enchanting Infusor    Easy Magic    Death Compass    Death Finder    Better Tridents   More by Fuzs_All the mods we know of that use Puzzle API are by Fezs_ but many of them are very popular.

Skin Layers 3D (Fabric/Forge) is a mod which makes player skins 3D. Many skins have different appearances which contain things like glasses or other textures which can look different in a 3D mode. Skin Layers 3D adds new detail by automatically converting your skin to 3D. Some elements will stay the same while others can see a huge difference. Steve’s skin for example does not have very much change, while other more detailed skins can have giant notability. The skin in the picture is a default skin from TL skin and cape and looking closely you can see some 3D elements. While there may be some 3D elements in some normal skins without this mod, this mod enhances them.The mod works with normal Minecraft skins but it may work better on a better-optimised skin. The mod automatically converts back to 2D when within 12 blocks to improve performance. You can disable the 3D skin in Options > Skin Customisation It takes advantage of the fact that there are 2 layers within the game by default and makes the last one 3D. This currently only works on players, the authors said they may consider making it work on mobs and armour in the future. Some things that are transparent like glasses are accounted for. The mod is actually fairly lightweight and not all that complicated code-wise.SkinLayers 3D does not have any dependencies and works with most mods, including performance and visual mods. There are some mods that are known not to work though, such as HD Skins and Epic Flight Mod. The mod is client-side only so does not need to be installed on the server. The mod used the tr7zw Protective License.

TL skin and cape is a mod for Minecraft which adds integration with TLauncher and accounts for the use of Skins and Capes. TLauncher is one of the most popular launchers and also one of the best ones. Tlauncher has a large array of features and skins and capes are one of them. This mod is only officially supported on Tlauncher on supported configurations, it may work on other launchers with your TL account or on unsupported versions, but it is not guaranteed.The skins and capes you have will be viewable by other players, but it is recommended that they have the mod installed also. It is possible to use without a TL account, and you will automatically get a skin selected many times even when you do not ask for one, but to get the most use you should preferably have a Tlauncher account, if you want even more features you can use Tlauncher Premium (though it is not available in the US or Canada). One issue is if you use a Mojang account or just play the game without an account at all in offline mode (you will get a default skin, there are many like the ones shown and others like a Zelda-style one), you may be sometimes automatically given a skin, or in some cases even if you use Minecraft Premium you may not have access to your Mojang/Microsoft Skin. Additionally, in Vanilla the mod auto installs and the Vanilla game when run from Tlauncher calls itself modded.The mod is available on a wide range of platforms officially, such asMC  Forge MC Forge Optifine    Optifine    Forge LiteLoaderOptiForgeLiteLoader FabricMC (but not yet officially FabricSodium)Vanillaand more going back a pretty long time.You may also get the mod to work on more platforms, such as Fabric derivatives such as QuiltMC, but it is not officially supported and may have issues. In most cases, the mod will install automatically. If in Tlauncher you have access to the little blue TL Logo next to the version, that means TL Skin and cape should install automatically, you will just get a prompt asking you about your skin while trying to launch.If you want to configure your character you should get a Tlauncher account and then you can download skins, HD Skins, capes, animated capes, and more from their website or other cape and skin websites. You can download a wide range of capes including the Russian flag, Optifine, Minecon, and many other capes and skins. You can even search skins by a Mojang or Tlauncher username. Do note though that if you need an animated cape you should use a Tlauncher Premium account (Which is not the same as a Mojang Premium account and does not let you play on online mode servers like Hypixel).Many of these functionalities are more advanced and convenient than what Microsoft do. It is also very useful when someone can't pay for the game or have issues downloading. Tlauncher has been very good at making the game accessible to places that are under sanctions and can not download things like Java or buy the game by providing some of this stuff on their servers. Tlauncher is a spreader of freedom, equality and truth. It is also one of the easiest Launchers to use and very good with older and more obscure versions and clients or mod loaders. It is also one of the most popular launchers, the 1st 3rd party launcher I used and one of the top-ranking on search engines. The discord server got thousands of members within the 1st day and has more users than most launcher discords including PrismMC, PolyMC, MultiMC, GDLauncher, TL Legacy and others. It is partly known for its ability to play for free, though many big servers do not support offline accounts, many smaller ones, especially in the Spanish-speaking world do. TL does seem to also be very popular there.There is common misinformation about TL and TL Skin and Cape being malware, but this is untrue, we looked at the skin and cape mod ourselves and did not see malware and the methods used by the people claiming it is a virus are untrustworthy and have been debunked by the people at Tlauncher (it is even safer than Discord and most of the people who claimed it was malware are on Windows systems using the exe and not the jar for whatever reason, so this argument would be less valid if you use the jar and are not on windows anyhow.) and are likely done by Tlauncher’s competitors, as in general Tlaucher gets lots of slanders all around the community.Does not need Fabric API on Fabric

LazyDFU is a startup performance mod for newer versions of Minecraft. In recent versions of Minecraft especially the startup times have gone up a large amount. It used to be the game could load up in under a second and not take up many cores, now the game even in vanilla (it is much worse in modded, especially in MC Forge instances) takes a long and in recent versions the CPU also goes up very high unless you have too little ram for the number of cores you have (we will cover why in a bit). LazyDFU, and similar mods, fix and reduce these issues. This mod is very lightweight (just overwriting a method with a blank version) and highly compatible (the old version works from 1.14-1.18.2 with basically no changes).Around 1.14 (when the mod came out, the changes are almost certainly older possibly pre-1.13) Mojang was doing massive changes to the internal world generator, and Mojang needed to migrate older worlds. So in order to do this they run the worlds through DFU and sets rules to convert the worlds (even if you do not convert any of them). This Makes it slower and takes up all your cores no matter how many you have in most cases (except when there are very few worlds or you have a powerful CPU but not much ram and the system chocks on that and just does not take full advantage of the CPU). Much of the caching code in the game is inefficient, especially when caching when most worlds do not need to be cached. This mod overwrites the method that tells the game to run these with very simple bytecode manipulation of just overwriting the method telling the game to run these rules. Some versions do other stuff. The mod also seems to make the game run faster even after the loading screen initialises (though this could be due to other mods and fabric and newer versions of forge even are pretty good at this).In 1.19 Mojang made changes to the server side which limits the need for LazyDFU on the server, but the client still needs it more and even than before the issue was still primarily with the client.IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The main changes that LazyDFU and some other similar mods change make loading old worlds unstable. If you want to load an old world it is suggested you disable this mod. Though LazyDFU does officially let you load DFU rules when needed, it just skips the cache. It is likely to be compatible with most mods, though it may have some overwrite conflicts with other DFU (Data Fixer Upper) related mods.Many similar or complementary mods exist, including a partially official fork called Lazy DataFixerUpper(LazyDFU) [FORGE] which is for MC Forge, though makes a few changes.

You’re in Grave Danger is a mod that has gravestones with cool abilities. When you die, instead of all your stuff dropping, in most cases, a gravestone will generate and you will get a message saying where you died coordinates wise and you will also get a custom compass which points to that location.When you find where you die you can either right-click (or whatever your mouse binds are) or sneak and you will get your items back and some XP, some experience, and a mob head. The mob head says the name of the user who died and will also show the mob head. Which can be helpful when you are on a multiplayer server, such as Genesis Plus. You will also be able to pick up the gravestone and put it somewhere else for decoration. The graves often also adapt to the blocks it is on and can also waterlog. When you get your items back you even get them in the same order in the inventory, and it has integration with many mods such as Trinkets, curios, inventurio, the Graveyard, Extra Inventory, Backslot, and BigInv. One issue you will have is if you mine a lot of gravestones you will get lots of compasses which cant be stacked with each other. There is also a new enchantment called soulbound and a few commands added by default (mostly for moderation).Graves are preferable to dropping items as items often disappear. There were other similar gravestone mods such as GraveStone Mod or Universal Graves (to a lesser extent) or Gravestones (written by Modrinth’s owner), though while these mods each have their own advantages, YIGD is in general more advanced for some things unless you need things like a list. There are also other mods that do other things, such as summon a custom entity which needs to be hit to get items, but these often require multiple hits and in some cases also are not as good at getting items back, and worst of all these entities often disappear. Gamerule KeepInventory is in vanilla or a similar mod like Keep Inventory, but many players do not like that as they could consider it cheating. However officially this mod is only for Fabric. So if you need MC Forge you can use the other mods.The mod requires Cloth Config and uses it extensively. The author wants almost everything to be configurable and considers missing config entries as missing features and not bugs. There is an extensive configuration page, it can be used to do things like change the command perms, disable the commands, disable the enchantment, and other stuff. They have a whole wiki for the config and modpack integration, and other stuff.The author is always open to new feature and config requests on their GitHub (in the wiki) issues. Also on Github is the source code, and the mod is MIT licence which means you are able to freely fork it and make your own changes so long as you provide credit to the original authors.

Charm of Undying is a mod which makes it so you can use the Totem of Undying Item in a Trinket slot rather than your offhand. Normally in Minecraft, the Totem of undying goes in your offhand which makes it so that you can not use another item in the offhand. The offhand is normally able to use things like Shields, Swords, Fireworks, and Blocks when Inventory is full, as other items. The Totem of Undying does not need to be actually interacted with making it good use for a Trinket. You will get a trinket slot above for the Charm and be able to put the charm there and it will show up on your neck like a neckless preventing you from death. It is a good vanilla + mod.Charm of Undying works with Curios API and Trinkets (Fabric). Charm of Undying is available for FabricMC, QuiltMC, and MinecraftForge.

Trinkets is a trinket mod for Minecraft FabricMC. It allows you to add Trinkets to your player. Trinkets are alternate slots (similar to armour slots) that allow you to add alternate pieces of gear which can do things and that modders can take advantage of. It is similar to Curios API, however, it is a bit simpler and more in line with Vanilla but a little less compact and without the default slots and example trinkets. By themselves, trinkets do not do anything but instead require mods to make use of it and come up with trinkets and a lot of trinkets may not look this good.An example is the Charm of Undying mod which adds a custom slot for its mod which allows users to add the totem of undying while treeing the offhand from the totem of undying.Existing vanilla items can also be turned into Trinkets and be given their own abilities, such as in the Charm of Undying  mod, and the items can have descriptions.Trinkets are officially only for FabricMC, Curios API is arguably a better mod if the mods support it and has recently been ported to Fabric, though is not on many older versions for Fabric.

Unusual End is a mod that seeks to bring excitement and variety to the otherwise dull End dimension in Minecraft. The mod introduces new mobs, biomes, and plants to the End world, making the journey through the End much more interesting and engaging. One of the most notable additions in this mod is the Ender Golem, a new mob that can be found in the End city. This powerful creature is there to defend the city from predators, making looting the End city more challenging and rewarding. In addition to the Ender Golem, Unusual End also adds new biomes to the End, such as the End Forest and End Mountains. These new biomes are home to unique plants and creatures that can only be found in the End dimension. Unusual End is a great mod for players who are looking to add some excitement and variety to their End adventures in Minecraft.

Better Villages is a fantastic mod that enhances the vanilla Minecraft villages. It completely revamps the village buildings with new and improved building styles. The modder has added chimneys, replaced cobblestone with stone bricks, and made several other visual changes to make the villages more appealing.Additionally, the mod also changes the look of the villages in different biomes, giving them a unique feel and expanding their overall size. The mod adds new structures to the villages, such as barns, windmills, and more, making the villages feel more like real towns.If you're looking for a mod that improves the Minecraft villages and makes them look much better, then the Better Villages mod is definitely worth checking out.

BetterF3 is a mod which adds a different F3Screen. Pressing F3 on your keyboard will instead bring up a new F3 Screen which reorders the items and changes their aspect ratio and positions and colours and size.Many of the similar fields are grouped together in the same colour, such as Chunk and Region data is blue by default, Render and Graphics data is Orange, etc. The title can though be different colours (such as XYZ). The answers are also different colours from the field name and can also be a variation of colours.  Most of the content is similar to the vanilla F3 Screen, though the aspect ratio changes and it in some ways is bigger and should be zoomed out more and takes up the whole screen more and the colour choices were rather odd. And can be distracting at 1st. It takes some getting used to the new F3 Screen. There is also a different sliding animation to enter the F3 Screen.The Main benefit of BetterF3 is customisation. You are able to set what you do and do not want and can change the colours and spacing, size and more. Cloth Config is bundled with a Jar-in-Jar on Fabric, though on Forge it needs to be installed separately. You are also suggested to have Mod Menu.If you have Cloth Config you are able to customise the menu by pressing F3+M and are able to change the general settings and the individual module settings, and other stuff for your liking. This can be used to make the F3 menu more minimalist or include other modules from other mods or change the colours or the general layout. This can be good for taking screenshots with some but not all info or for hiding information about your computer such as which hardware you are using that could personally identify you if found in a screenshot.The mod has been reviewed by many YouTubers such as Bloodyneck and AntVenom and a logo made by Nirewen and development builds on GitHub.Though in many ways the Vanilla F3 screen can be better if you prefer a completely white and unmodified, Vanilla can be better.

MmmMmmMmmMmm (Target Dummy) adds a Target Dummy that can be equipped with armour, which will reduce the damage it takes. It can also be dispensed from a dispenser and changed to mimic different mobs. The dummy shows damage dealt to it via numbers fading in and out of the screen, and the numbers change colour depending on the type of damage. You can customise the visuals and behaviour of the dummy in the mod config and shear it for different skins.The basic target dummy can be found in the combat tab and is good for practising combat. The dummy has numbers coming out of it, these numbers show how much damage is being done. You can hit it unlimited times and it will not break. There is also another number called DPS (Damage per second) which is also shown. With the hand you will struggle to get past 1,3 Damage per second, but with different weapons that number can get much higher.The mod is good for the post 1.9 combat system which requires you to not spam click as much, but can also be used to practise alternate combat systems. Such as Zelda’s Sword Skills, Commie’s Combat Tweaks, Golden Age Combat, and Combat Tests.The Dummies can also be equipped with armour and even mimic other mobs and have mob heads. This allows you to test various different types of weapons on various mobs to test how they would go in a fight and prepare you for PVP or for going against a mob you want to fight in the future. You can even test different types of enchantments, and dispenser drops, and even modify the appearance, skin and swing amounts, and messages with the config or even sheers.This mod is originally inspired by a 1.12 mod by Bonusboni but it adds many changes making it far better and it is for newer versions.The mod requires Moonlight Lib and is made by the same creator (like many of the other mods which use moonlight lib).

Roughly Enough Resources is an addon for the popular mod Roughly Enough Items (REI), which adds a variety of useful tabs to the REI interface. It is still possible to get the Roughly Enough Resources (REI) tabs in the traditional REI interface. It is important to note that while Roughly Enough Resources does work with modded content, custom-made solutions may not be able to integrate with it. Therefore, modders may need to do custom work to make their mods compatible with Roughly Enough Resources.  It also displays both to and from trades, making it easy to see what you can do with an item. The Mob Drops tab shows the items dropped by mobs when they die and can be accessed with the spawn egg. The Block Drops tab is similar to Mob Drops, but it is for blocks. Plant Drops can be accessed by right-clicking a seed, and it displays the plant's growth stages, the items it. It is accessed with left click, meaning it could have some slight issues with Cheat mode. It can be remapped though.This is an unofficial port of Just Enough Resources (JER) (An addon for Just Enough Items) which is a successor to Not Enough Resources (NER) (An add-on for Not Enough Items). In many cases Roughly Enough Items has a better User Interface than Just Enough Items, making Roughly Enough Resources a better alternative to Just Enough Resources some of the devs of Roughly Enough Resources (such as shedaniel) are also developers of Roughly Enough Items, Architectury (Required), and Cloth Config (Required). Many of the details are also better than Just Enough Resources in many ways. Additionally, Just Enough Items was only recently ported to Fabric (in the 1.19 era when it is still in alpha or beta) so for older versions of Fabric Roughly Enough Items ( and its addons) would be preferred for Fabric before 1.19 or in instances where you want both to have the same version. Roughly Enough Items (but not RER) has a Rift version also.This does not show villager trades. Instead you have to use a separate mod called Roughly Enough Trades
