Bro the incompatible mods thing kills me on a spiritual level 😂

My personal favorite client mod is distant horizons. Playing with it on a server and seeing buildings and mountains from friends in the distance is fantastic both for vanity and directions in the world.

with dynamic lights, glow squids are actually magical. I remember exploring an underwater cave, and I had to throw down a door to get my air back, but then I just watched as these three glow squid started circling each other in the dark, lighting up the walls of the cave. It was beautiful. (and it's also just... helpful! They're good at showing you where you can go when its dark underwater.)

As a client side mod enthusiast, this video was very well informed and very funny. I also cannot literally cannot play without cilent side mods anymore, my favorite mod has to be iris with complementry unbound shaders.

the reason optifine is treated like that is due to the things like fast render and also the fact that their code is closed source so only the dev knows how it works. It also breaks other mods

More things to add about OptiFine: 1. The code is closed source which is concerning for a non-profit mod 2. Incompatible with most mods 3. No Fabric support 4. Slow updates compared to most Fabric mods 5. The code (as decompiled by other developers) is apparently very hacky and unstable, probably because it's so old

very enjoyable video, and when you make jokes they land, it's actually well researched and overall it's not often you see content as good as this keep it up

If anybody's wondering about Quilt, there was a whole falling out with the fabric dev team about a year and a half ago where like 60-70% of the developers moved to quilt, this mostly had to due with the main developer of fabric being a very hateful person and preventing good changes from certain people. For users Quilt runs almost the same, and will be fully compatible with fabric mods for quite a while (this may change eventually but for now they're compatible), and currently only a handful of mods are quilt only (OK Zoomer being one, which is personally my favorite zoom mod)

To avoid the incompatible mods thing, I would use a mod loader like prism or atlauncher since it tells you dependencies

I honestly cannot believe that glow squids don't actually glow in vanilla... They look 100 times better when they glow

Personally, I recommend MiniHUD over Light Overlay since overlay there looks cleaner and it has more qol features. Great video tho, keep it up!

"Incompatible mod set!" "Replace Minecraft 1.20.1 with 1.20" (Throws the computer out the window into the Spikes of Doom)

holy shit waffle youve seriously boosted that production quality. love this stuff, it felt perfectly paced, funny, informative. youve hit all the check marks keep it up bro

One of my favorite client side mods is "do a barrel roll" it makes elytra travel feel like fighter pilot travel

Instead of using the light level mod, i would get minihud because it has the light levels built in but also has a bunch of other useful options like shape renderers and showing the slime chunks visually

I recommend Shoulder Surfing. It's a massive improvement to the third person camera... You can position it over your head or off to the side, so you can actually see what you're aiming at in third person.

This is great! I’ve always wanted to get some client-side mods like Optifine, but didn’t know where to start. Awesome video!

Great video! One thing I would add is Fabulously Optimised modpack - it contains most of the performance mods you mentioned, as well as some other quality of life ones. It's a drop-in solution for those who just wanna get into the game without figuring out correct versions and dependencies!

I enjoyed this video a lot as a fellow client mod user. I too cannot handle playing regular minecraft without them their all so helpful. One of my favourite client mods I like to use is replay mod being able to rewatch what I’ve done is soo cool and fun you pretty much mentioned the other mods I used. Overall great video

I prefer the integrated solution. Instead of a light overlay or F3 menu, you should have to craft a luxmeter. Having a no-F3 play through is something I tried once, using some XML mod to remove coords and other info from the F3 menu. Instead you have the luxmeter and depth meter from Openblocks, the Antique Atlas, and a gravestone mod to make dying somewhere unknown less painful. Also Hardcore Darkness.

4:54 never seen a more relatable clip. thoroughly enjoyed watchin this!

Straight to the point, light on the music, easy to navigate. thank you!

The compatibility issue brings me way back when i made my own modpacks back in around 2014-2015. It was so new to me as a small kid to download the mods, put them in the mods folder and navigating so many sites, finding the right download button, and trying to fix compatible issues. Makes me really happy how easy it is now to make modpacks with curse forge

In single player i don't think their is really any such thing a cheating or at least bad cheating. You make the game you want to play. I play with keep Inventory On and in easy mode with a couple of resource pack to make my life easier. My goal is not to be challenged but to relax and escape reality. It fits my needs. I plan on cheating in mending when the new update comes because i don't like the villager changes. If their is a old villager trade mod i might even switch back to java. The beauty of Minecraft is that you can modify the game for your own personal preferences.

Yo man I'm just letting you know ahead of this time, I think this video's gonna blow up, make sure you keep uploading after this and keep it up 💪

Very enjoyable video! Thanks for the client-side mod list :D

literally 990 subscribers AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE THIS GOOD gotta give this a sub man

from one tiny creator to another- your channel is epic!

U can view light levels with minihud in the same way as the mod u showed, just need to set a key bind for it in the minihud settings

Good video, nice narrative and a unique style! Love it!

This has inspired me to finally start fabric modding. Thank you!

Quilt has better missing mods window and should be faster than fabric if you install the quilt api. Also some of the features (and much more) are in masa's mods

Really cool introduction! For mod updating though 3rd party launchers are so much better. I didn't use them for years, but switched to PrismLauncher after Microsoft's weird Xbox integration with Minecraft. It manages all my mods for me and haven't looked back since

Beautifully well made video I subbed.

I just got into playing minecraft a few months ago, Downloaded a bunch of mods within the first few mins of playing...now I have around 230 mods installed. Imagine my surprise when I tried playing without any mods installed and found a lot these neat little features weren't already in vanilla minecraft. Seriously can't believe I can't stack different slabs on top of each other without any gaps.

The worst part two of your best and most favourite mods don't work together. Moment of mental breakdown

5:00 The one thing forge does UNANIMOUSLY better than Fabric is Error logging, it gives you a list of mods that worked and didn't work and lists all the missing mods in a list ingame and even lets some slide with nothing more than a warning if it's nothing game breaking.

this is such a well made video, subscribed!

I remember way back in like 2012/13 I had a parkour mod installed. It allowed me to jump and grab onto blocks like 4 blocks high, then pull myself up. It also allowed me to crawl into one block holes. I joined a server and discovered the mod still worked. Showed a couple people my ability to climb walls and they thought it was pretty cool.

Good video! feels like you should have a ton more subscribers. i wasn't expecting you to have so little. EDIT: This guy Is epic. he hearted this in record time

If You Play Minecraft without Any Performance Mods Minecraft Becomes a Glorified Slide Show

Now this is high quality content m8

I loved your style and humor! Great video, keep up the good work!

im so glad we got optifine and not optimog 😂😂😂

3:30 I think that only applies to the situation when you play on a dedicated server. If you're playing singleplayer, you're also hosting your own server, locally (That's why "Open to LAN" is so easy), so the performance boost should be there. I could be wrong tho

WAIT U ONLY HAVE 352 SUBS?!? :O bro howw, ur like vid quality is insane for ur channel size. :P like e everyone else said, keep up the good work and I’m sure ur gunna be a popular yt channel soon

I'm like one of the most casual chilling mc player who just plays it sometimes to have fun, so this video was great and well executed. Thanks

Inventory Profiles and Xaero's mini map with fabric makes the game more smother and optimized, nice video btw!

Specific quilt-exclusive mods that I remember: Auroras Decorations, Effective by Doctor4t, Switchy, inspecio, Ok Zoomer Inspecio, Effective, and Ok Zoomer are all mods that used to be fabric dependent but moved permanently to Quilt Modrinth doesnt have an option to search for quilt exclusive which is probably why you couldnt find any. This was a good video! Earned a sub, it was entertaining to watch.

For the effort you put in this video you are underrated as hell bro love the work

This video is great for people who are just getting into modding minecraft!

That bit where you slammed your desk after using so many incompatible mods is so relatable

Underrated as hell channel. Subscribed.

Last of my assorted comments... You did a really good job describing the difference between forge and fabric. There's definitely advantages to both, but you definitely made it clear that fabric is always better for client-side mods. That being said, I still wish that it would be easier for more content-type mods to add things to the game. But, I guess I still understand that adding those features to fabric would make too big of an impact on the way minecraft runs... I guess we can still hope for a way at some point...

Such an underrated channel.

Damn, this video quality is good af. Such a underrated channel. Deserve a sub

Something to note is that Sodium isn't always better than OptiFine, and vice versa. It really depends on your computer, what mods you're running, etc. OptiFine actually runs slightly better than Sodium for me, for example. Also the fact that it has more features, and it's the easiest install ever makes it definitive for me. But someone else's PC (like yours, for example) benefit better with Sodium, Iris, Lithium... yeah, that's another reason I prefer OptiFine, lol

Damn this only has 5k views, you deserve much more the video is very well put together

I don’t have any dynamic lighting mods, but that’s just personal preference. I overall agree with your assessment of the most vital client-side mods, and I have some additions I would like to offer. 1. If you have an nvidia GPU, Nvidium. This one isn’t compatible with Iris yet, so you won’t be able to use it if you need shaders. 2. Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME) 3. Distant Horizons or Bobby. DH isn’t available for 1.20.x yet because they’ve been working on major rewrites under the hood instead. 4. If you want to get a little cheaty, Clientcommands. I mostly use it for its enchantment RNG manipulation, because I find vanilla enchanting incredibly tedious. 5. Some servers will be open to vanilla clients, but have client-side enhancement mods. I recommend using those if you play on such a server often.

This is awesome! I'm gonna sub rn!

Great job!

0:14 I love how you put it into the prism launcher folder and then pressed play on the normal launcher

Every time a new version gets out I make my own little fabric modpack and each time it brings back my dementia

Big recommend for minihud, if you like to minmax your base/farms with guides for spawn radii and beacon distance then it’s great. It also has a light overlay mod like the one here.

Masady mods - Tweakeroo, Minihud, & Litematica (itemscroller too) are absolutely necessary to me and the highest quality QoL mods I’ve encountered. I use MiniHud to view spawn chunks (for managing lag), structure renders, despawn and spawn spheres, lighting, and for info lines like biome and coordinates. I use Tweakeroo for fly speed tweaks to zoom in creative or go mega slow in spectator when recording if I want something slow high res that I can’t capture with replaymod (mostly applies to modded entities that don’t work well in replay yet - ie cobblemon), gamma, hotbar randomization, auto refill of blocks from inventory to hands… and honestly there’s so much in there I don’t use but should. Litematica is the building in survival goat unless I’m playing with Create (cause schematiccannon is fun!!)

LOVED THE VIDEO SO MUCH this video explained the stuff i was confused about and gave me the mods i was looking for. 9/10 video deserves a lick 👍

Very interesting!

Amazing vid!

0:00 one must imagine Sisyphus happy

your voice sounds nice and thank you for recomending these mods!

probably no one will read this but these are my favorite: advancementinfo(every detail about an advancement, what you already got) appleskin(how much hunger each food gives + the second hunger bar) ContainerSearch(whenever you open a chest/barrel the items in it get saved in a file, so you can search a specific item and it will mark the chest it's in) GammaUtiles Invhud(you can see your inventory when it's not open + a lot more things) JustEnoughItems(shows crafting recipes for everything), JustEnoughReasources(shows all mob drops) MobPlaques(mobs have their HP above them) ModMenu Nofog PhysicsMod Shulkerboxtooltips(shows what your shulker boxes contain inside of your inventory) Sodium(FPS booster) More mods... *unethical mods*: XaerosMiniMap(mini map that also shows entities) InvMove(continue to run while your inventory is open) SlotSwap(take items from your inventory without opening it) **super unethical mods!!!** seedcrackerX(get the seed of any world/server) Wurst client(hacked client, flight, X-ray, BoatFly, auto enchanted book of choice trade finder + A lot more)

I'm just glad there are mods that let me still use my custom Optifine-configured resource pack, since Optifine is so heavily incompatible with other mods usually

Really good video.

Very good explanation and recommendations

my favorite client side mods are inventory tweaks, and its sister, mouse tweaks. makes inventory management so much easier

Great vid!

Really great video

Omg the incompatible mod set thing is so relatable.

severally underrated video

You come on my list of good underrated minecraft youtubers...

damn bro youre so underrated good job!!

this video is amazing i love the style

this is such a banger video. A+

You're arguably the most underrated Minecraft KZfaqr out there! Amazing work brother!

Mini hud and tweakeroo are easily the 2 best client side mods have insanely useful features and quality of life changes are incredible

How is this dude not more popular 😂

4:33 sounded personal😂

I also like putting the coordinates, in game and real life time in the corners of my screen

Honestly one of my favorite client side mods is inventory tweaks. It's essential to my minecraft playing

Fun fact: forge for new versions has great load times now. Idk what happened, but it boots my 130 mod 1.19 modpack in about 40 seconds. There is also this thing called rubidium that is basically sodium for forge. It has also come a long way.

nice video, im not looking for any mods or anything but it was entertaining :)

Another upload of all time

I think I once spent 6-8 hours just trying to get a mod pack to work so I feel you

This is a pretty good video the quality is insane

Been using client mods for ages now, and just recently swapped to fabric because I’m quite slow in evolution, but the boost with sodium is good

the incompatible mod set was way too accurate 😂

way too underrated

Effective is quilt-only, and the dev has a video explaining their reasonings behind it. It was the reason I actually started moving to Quilt in the first place

extremely helpful AND funny video, loved it, earned my sub!
