Dark Utilities is a kitchen sink mod which adds a weird variety of new content. It adds a large variety of content—some of which includes different charms and plates. The charms can be used with Trinkets or Curios. Each Charm has its abilities, as do Plates and traps. Here are some of the Charms and Tomes. Most of the time, they can be somewhere in the Player's inventory.Portal Charm - Makes you go through portals fasterSleep Charms - Prevents Phantoms and makes you instantly sleep when standing on a bedWarding Charm - Weakens bad effectsTome of Shadows - Allows you to hide some blocksTomes - Allows you to use fonts in the game but has similar issues as Pig Pen Cypher mod.There are also Plates, which are a form of block:Blank Plate - The base plate from which all other plates derive fromVector Plate: Has a pointing arrow that spins, and when an entity touches it, it will fly off in the direction of the hand.Damage Plate - Does three hearts of damage to entities which touch itPlayer Damage Plate - Similar to Damage and Maim damage but drops XP, and other Player only dropEffect Plates - Has various potion effectsThere are also other blocks like Filters, which allow you only to enable particular mobs to go through them. Redstone Randomizers randomly turn on and off and emit a redstone signal randomly. Good for randomised contraptions. Shield Redstone is a Redstone that only works in 1 way. Dark Utilities requires Bookshelf; new versions also need Runelic and Pig Pen Cipher.
McJtyLib is a library used by many of McJty and romelo333 mods. It provides common libraries many mods use, especially in the RFTools series. McJty is most known for its modding tutorials, and they make many modding tutorials for Minecraft forge covering many topics. They are one of the top Mod Making tutorial makers. They are also involved in many popular mods. McJtyLib is behind many of them. Some of the great things it allows you to expand upon include the following:PowerSmartwrenchContainersModulesInformationConfigStyleised ConfigBindingsBlocksBlock CommandsToolTipsInfo LinesRenderingGUIHudsModelsCompatibility with Various mods such as Patchouli, JEI, Walia, The One Probe, and MoreCraftingData GenerationDebuggingFontKeysMultiBlocks and MultipartsNetworkWorld DataAnd Much, much more It is for Minecraft Forge only, which is something to remember. It is MIT Licence, so you can easily use it for your mods without legal issues.

Default Options is a mod for modpack makers which allows them to set default options without needing an options.txt file bundled (which means updates would override user changes if the options.txt is overwritten). In vanilla, most options, like the key binds, are stored in a file called options.txt. Mudpack makers often change this file to make mod packs in a specific way that meets their vision. However, players may not like these changes and may want to change them. Changing the options would change the options.txt file. However, in a normal scenario, if the mudpack maker were to update the pack, the options.txt would be overwritten on the update erasing the player’s changes. Default Options changes this. Instead of an options.txt file being bundled, a folder called defaultoptions exists in the config folder, which contains the default options which exist when 1st starting a pack. The defaults can be set with the /defaultoptions command (or /defaultoptions saveAll). This still saves the info from options.txt and also from servers.dat and more. Be sure you do NOT include these files in the game, as Default Options creates them if they do not exist and only if they do not exist. If they do exist, Default Options will do nothing, and you would be defeating the whole point of the mod. Note: If you have FoamFix Anarchy Edition disable the config setting B:initOptions, or else you will have issues with Default Options.Requires Balm
BdLib is a Scala Library used for various mods and adds different pieces of generic code.It is mostly written for bdew’s mods but under the MIT Licence, so anyone can use it if they give proper credit. The library contains many hooks which can be used for various things. Here are just some of the many things BdLib has hooks forBlocksCapabilitiesCommandsConfigGUIInventoryItemsData, KeepData & Data GenerationMultiBlocksNBTNetworkingPowerRenderingResourcesRotationTilesSensorsEventsMathsAnd much more. It is one of the larger libraries. There are some things to keep in mind, though, such as how it is written in Scala; it may not do too well if you do not know Scala and may not work too well with Java code in a standard IDE without Scala enabled, it also requires a language adapter to play.Another thing to remember is that it is MC Forge only, so you cannot take full advantage of porting to multiple loaders if you choose to go with this. If you are a player, you need BdLib to play some mods. Some of the mods that use BdLib include:* Gendustry* Pressure Pipes* Advanced Generators* AE2 Stuff* Compacter* Factorium* Proxy* Simple Covers* Technobauble* And MoreSince BdLib is written in Scala, you need a Scala Language adapter to use in newer versions of Minecraft Forge (Like 1.13 and newer). For this, they recommend Scalable Cat’s Force.
OpenBlocks Elevator Is a 1.8 and newer Elevator port from the old OpenBlocks mod. The elevator is like a fast lift or scaffold that allows you to move up and down quickly. The Elevators, in most cases, need to be the same X and Z coordinates and within 4 blocks on the Y access for a total of 20, though this can easily be changed in the config.Once you have a lift system, you should be able to climb up by jumping and climb down by crouching. This makes it a very fast method of transportation.If you want different levels only some can access, you can group your elevators with dyes. The elevator will, in most cases, try to avoid stops which are not the same deal colour. When moving, your camera also changes.One cool feature in this mod over others is The ability to camouflage your lifts to make them look like surrounding blocks, making it good for security or decorations.
The Mantle is a library and QoL mod for Minecraft. Mantle as a library is used for many of the biggest mods, such as:Armory Expansion (and Add-ons)Baubley Heart CanistersTinkers Construct (and add-ons)Harvest TweaksAnd MoreMost mods that use Mantle are related to Tinkers Construct or its add-ons.Even if you do not have a mod which requires Mantle, there are still some changes you can see, such as if you have stacked hearts and coloured hearts, you won’t see the coloured hearts unless your max can be improved.For developers, there are many functions which Mantle adds, such as:RegistrationLootItem helpData generationBlocksFluidsNetworkingJust enough items integrationsConfigsand many more.There is even documentation on how to use it on their wiki. It is important to note that Mantle is often very slow to update, so if you make a mod that uses it, you will need to wait for it to update. Additionally, at least officially, it is MinecraftForge only. Most base mods using Mantle are by Slime Knight (the author of Mantle), so it may not be as well optimised for other mods.
Xaero’s World Map Is a QoL Vanilla plus world map and navigation mod for Minecraft made by Xaero. To activate the world map, press the designated key bind (m by default), and then you will get the world map open with all the discovered locations. At the same time, undiscovered locations will have a black Fog of War until you discover them. This is largely because Minecraft generally does not automatically generate chunks that far in advance. But even on multiplayer servers, you only see what you discovered by default. Xaeros world map is a client-side mod meaning the server does not need to have the mod installed for you to use it, and it is quite helpful in that regard; if you want to keep track of land on a vanilla server, you can go with this mod. You can also create waypoint markers within the world map to mark locations you may be interested in.Xaero’s Minimap, what Xaero is most known for, is suggested but not mandatory, and World Map has integrations with other mods to help you work with them. The map is very interactive; you can scroll through the map dynamically, scroll in and out for zooming, hover over a title to see the cords, see what the top layer is, and much more. //todo write more details about each button
Nomadic Tents is a Minecraft mod that solves the age-old problem of wanting to explore the world but not wanting to leave your house behind. With this mod, players can build and set up various types of tents, including Yurts, Tepees, Bedouin, Indlu, and Shamiyanas. These tents come in different sizes, making them suitable for various purposes, from a small shelter for a solo adventurer to a larger one for a group of friends. The best part is that these tents are portable, meaning you can pack up and move on to your next destination with ease. The Tent Mallet is a useful tool that allows players to deconstruct the tent door and pack up the entire structure. When you set it up again in a new location, everything will still be inside. This feature ensures that you can travel light and enjoy your journey without worrying about losing your home base. Nomadic Tents is a game-changing mod that provides players with the freedom to explore and experience the game world without compromising their living arrangements. With this mod, you can set up camp anywhere, anytime, and continue your adventures with ease. Give Nomadic Tents a try and never worry about being too far from home again!
Fabric Language Kotlin is one of the many Fabric Language adapters for Kotlin. Language adapters let you write mods in programming languages other than pure Java (often but not always JVM-based languages). There are many big Fabric mods which use Kotlin includingAdorn Inventory Tweaks AE Additions – ExtraCells2 ForkBountiful DeftuLib Hex Casting Industrial Revolution Inventerio Kambrik Lakeside LibrarianLib Level Up HP MirageFairy2023 Ping Wheel Plethora Peripherals Roughly Enough Trades Roughly Enough Loot Tables RSWires TerrarianSlimes Woods and MiresZoomify and many more. Kotlin is primarily a JVM-based programming language like Groovy or Scala and is in many ways considered a newer Scala (though Scala is still being developed), though it does not only compile to JVM, it can also compile to native or to JavaScript or even its own bytecode format. Fabric Language Kotlin is meant to be used with the JVM variant though.Kotlin as mentioned before has some in common with Scala and a little in common with Crystal. Kotlin Language is a must-use for many people, many people really like it, while others do not. One issue you have is if you use Kotlin you may have compatibility issues with lesser-known tool chains that you may port your mod too. But if you want to use Kotlin because you prefer it you can use this language adapter. There are reasons to prefer Kotlin if you like some of the features or if you want to also do things like Android development (which has recently started to recommend Kotlin over Java which it had previously). If you use Kotlin it is suggested you use IntelliJ because they are made by the same company and eclipse does not have quite as good of support for it.For players, you should be able to just install the mod in your mods folder. If you are a developer you will need to take extra steps and requires the user already know a little bit about using Kotlin with Gradle (but Groovy DSL can still be used unless you want Kotlin DSL). FabricMC has a tutorial which can be used with basic instructions about getting started. Fabric Language Kotlin does not rely on any specific version of Minecraft, just on Fabric loader.
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.
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
Moolands is a mod that adds new terrain and two new mobs in Minecraft. The terrain is quite diverse and provides a unique experience to the player. To get to the Moolands, you need to make a portal frame out of Glowstone and light it up with a milk bucket.Once you enter Moolands, you will meet Awful Cows, which you can saddle up and ride. These cows are pretty fast and can jump high. But keep in mind that being outside the Moolands will make them slower and less nimble. So if you want to show off your cow riding skills, you better do it in Moolands.Moolands has more than just the awful cows. It also has some interesting buildings. There are mushrooms houses that generate with a loot chest in them.
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).
Just Enough Resources is a Just Enough Items addon which added new information based on resources. There are a few tabs added to Just Enough Items by Just Enough Resources, each doing various different things. Most of the tabs are accessed with a left click rather than a right click, which may cause some issues with cheat mode, though the buttons can likely be remapped and it is still possible to get the Just Enough Resources Tabs in the traditional JEI interface though.While it does work with modded content, do note, that similar to Just Enough Items, custom-modded solutions may not be able to integrate with addons like Just Enough Resources. Modders may need to do custom work to make their mod integrate with Just Enough Resources if you do stuff in a non-conventional way.One of the tabs is the trading tab. This tab shows the common trades with villagers in the game that are registered with the plugin or are just vanilla. It can show to and from trades making it easy to see what you can do with a rather useless item.The Mob drops tag shows some of the things mobs drop when they die. This can be accessed with the spawn egg and shows the likely drops of a mob and probability.Block Drops are similar to Mob drops but it is for blocks.Plant drops can be accessed by right-clicking the seed, it shows what kind of plant can be grown with a seed, what the plant looks like over time, what the plant drops, and other information about the plant.Selecting an Ore can give you information about its world generation. It gives you a graph showing the likeliness to find the ore at different depths over time as a line graph, which can be useful for people trying to mine to find different ores.Dungeon Chance also lets you know the likeliness of finding something in a dungeon.Just Enough Resources is the successor to Not Enough Resources for Not Enough Items. It also has an unofficial port for Roughly Enough Items called Roughly Enough Resources.You should also look at the Wiki for more info like profiling.
