Best Minecraft Vanilla mods

Jade is a special version of HWYLA that is easier to use. It has extra features and fixes bugs that make HWYLA better, it is a modern more updated version fork of Hwyla/Waila for Minecraft. It is designed to provide players with an improved user experience and API. Jade can be  client side only, but many features require it to be installed on the server side as well (such as item storage, horse stats, and bees in a beehive). There are many addons for both Forge and Fabric/Quilt. The default keys are as follows: Keypad 0 opens the configuration screenKeypad 1 toggles the overlayKeypad 2 toggles liquid displayKeypad 3 shows recipes (requires Just Enough Items)Keypad 4 shows uses (requires JEI and the mod to be     configured for it) Keypad 5 narrates the target.     Compared to Hwyla, Jade includes a redesigned API,  more vanilla addons, and better configuration and accessibility.Some features include item handlers, which show items inside Item handlers, which shows things that are in such as chests,     hoppers, and ender chests.     A breaking progress feature, which shows a small progress bar     when a block is being broken indicating progress.     A brewing stand feature, which shows the fuels and process     time.      Mob effects which shows what potion effects mobs have.     Entity and plant growth is also shown, which shows the     growing time and breeding cooldown of animals.     Horse stats are also shown, including jump height, speed, and     strength of horses and llamas. Item frame contents are also shown,     which shows the item in the item frame.     The mod also has a hide mod names feature, which hides the     mod name in the tooltip.     Beehives  shows the bees and honey in beehives.     Armour stands shows the armours on the armour stand.     Chicken eggs are also show the time before the next egg.     Command blocks show which commands are in the command line.Many more For modders, the mod also has additional tooltip renderers, such as the name of the mod according to Fabric or MCForge (Note this can work for loaders on top of loaders, such as FeatureCreep mods would just show the namespace for the individual item while the built in FeatureCreep items say FeatureCreepMC) this means it can work well for instances with multiple modloaders installed, which is often a concern for configs like this. Searching the modname or namespace can help you search for items in the creative menu. All of these features make the Jade Mod a great addition to Minecraft. Do note that you can not use this together with original  HWYLA due to conflicting classes and packages.

The Near mod is the perfect addition to any Nether-themed pack, adding a plethora of new fruits to the Nether. The mod adds two new fruits - Nears and Faars - which grow on bushes. To obtain these, you can break crimson and warped roots to get respective fruit's bush seeds. With these, you can make a variety of foods depending on your needs and desires. The mod also adds soul berries which can be found from soul bushes in soul sand valleys. What makes the Near mod stand out is its upcoming overhaul. Many of the blocks and items will change a lot as new content is added, so older worlds will be incompatible. This means players can look forward to a new and improved version of the mod with the new versions of the mod such as the 1.20 update. With all the new features being implemented, it is sure to provide an even more immersive Nether experience. The Near mod is an excellent mod for any Nether-themed pack, allowing players to make use of a variety of new fruits. It’s easy to use and provides a unique experience for players. With its upcoming overhaul, players can look forward to an even better version of the mod with more features. So if you’re looking for a great mod to add to your Nether-themed pack, then the Near mod. There appear to be 10 currently in the mod right now, they do not appear to have any special abilities at the moment,  though I am sure they will expand the mod more and make the food more unique in upcoming updates. Many of the foods and drinks have special appearances, some based on vanilla (like stew and some drinks) while others have completely original textures such as the Nears and Faars. It is a good Vanilla + Mod as it does not have much that is that extreme and just enhances existing nether biomes. It is Fabric and Quilt only, though an unofficial MC Forge Port does exist based on MCreator.

Choice Theorem's Overhauled Village Generation is a Minecraft mod by the developer Choice Theorem that updates the game's village generation system. It adds a plethora of new features to the game, including new structures, mob types, and more. With this mod, players can create their own unique villages and customise them to their liking. The mod comes with over 20 original village variants and lots of other new structures related to biomes. The mod starts off by replacing the vanilla village generation system with a new one. This new system includes more variation in the types of structures that can be found in villages, as well as more size and shape variations. Players will also find new types of mobs, including different types of villagers and new types of animals, such as horses, cows, and pigs that are normally found in villages.   However the most important part to the mod is the new structures . These structures can be used to create unique buildings and fortifications, adding an extra layer of complexity to the game. These structures are what allows players to create their own villages and customise them to their liking. Overall, Choice Theorem's Overhauled Village Generation mod is an excellent way to enhance the game's village generation system, which is fairly primitive in the vanilla game with Mojang abandoning huge parts villages and features related to the villages.  If you're looking for a way to make the game's village generation system more interesting and engaging, then this mod is definitely worth checking out. It is available for Fabric/Quilt/Forge and also Datapack for 1.17.1 and newer, if you ask for older you will be sent to Brasil by the dev (yes that is literally something he says on some of his pages when asked for backports) because the technical limit is too high. There are many new villages in a huge gallary.It is perfectly safe to add CTOV to an existing world and update worlds with CTOV. The Structures are compatible with the /locate command making finding the villages fairly easy. It is server side only and does not need to be installed on the client in most cases as it is a server-resource-pack (a datapack). The mod part is mostly init files for the loader, there is not very much Java. It is important to note though that this does modify existing vanilla structures and could have compatibility issues with other mods which do the same thing. If you want to add this mod to a modpack you should also link back to the original curseforge page. The mod has been tested as compatible with many world generation mods such as Terralith, Oh The Biomes You’ll Go,Biomes O’ Plenty, MCA Reborn, and others.  Waystones, Farmer’s Delight, More Villagers, Croptiopia, and Bountiful, with more planned, have their own addon datapacks which can be installed separately for compatibility.Though some issues do exist such as the error:[17:45:30] [Worker-Main-19/WARN]: Empty or non-existent pool: ctov:village/red_fortified/start_road[17:46:82] [Worker-Main-19/WARN]: Empty or non-existent pool: ctov:village/red_fortified/start_roadNote: 1.17.1 Version is a datapack and should be put in the datapacks folder and enabled upon world creation.

Horse Buff is a QoL (Quality of Life) mod that adds various tweaks to horses. The tweets vary from removing potentially unnecessary stuff, adding new stuff to make horses better, or even fixing bugs that Mojang has not fixed themselves in some versions.Horse Buff has different effects on the server and the client, so it is important that you have the mod on both the server and the client to get the full effect of the mod. One of the biggest changes is that a horse can walk through portals without dismounting, which can make it essential for fast interdimensional missions that require you to quickly switch dimensions. It works with both the nether and the end, and possibly with modded dimensions. Do note, however, that the bug is only fixed when the player is riding the horse as a vehicle, as riding it another way and having this work would change the game. It is also important to note that with the nether, you still need to wait some time for you to be sucked into the portal unless you have some mod that reduces the time, so it will not be like the music videos where you can just fly right into the nether; you will still need to wait, though this does not exist with the end, which is more sudden.Another change is that when riding on slabs, in vanilla, the horse has a jerking motion when riding on the stairs, this mod reduces it. This also makes stepping on blocks easier by increasing the step height from 1 to 1,1. This slight change makes climbing over bumps with horses so much easier—a little like an auto jump.Another good change is that you can also dig at normal speed when riding a horse. In vanilla, while riding on a horse, your digging speed is reduced; however, with this mod, it is normal again. One more good thing about tamed horses is that if they have a saddle, they will not wander around, so you will not have as many issues finding them if you need to spend some time away.Perhaps the most innovative server-side feature is the new breeding system. It takes traits from the parents and adds 10% random traits from each of them, give or take, and then clamps them to the vanilla minimum and maximum stats. This is mostly in horse breeding, so it may not be as noticeable to the average player, but it does produce more interesting horses in some cases. There are also some client-side features; however, these are less noticeable, kind of optional, and do not always work. You do not need the mod installed on the client if you do not want it in most cases, as the mod does not add any new registry keys that the server needs to sync.One of the client-side features is that if you look down, you can see through your horse more with a fade, making it easier to do things while looking down, like go down a hill. Another cool feature is the ability to modify the horse’s head pitch offset, which is basically the position of the horse’s head and makes it easier to see. The most important client-side feature is that you can see your player's survival inventory instead of the horse's (which is accessible with the normal E).The keys can be changed with your Minecraft keybinds. There is a final, more cosmetic change, where if you have a name tag named "jeb_" it is supposed to make the horses rainbow and change colours, a little like sheep do; however, we could not get this feature to work on our instance.The mod comes bundled with Cloth Config API to configure the mod.You can see examples on their GitHub https://github.com/CodeF53/Horse-Buff

 More Axolotl Variants is a mod which adds more  Axolotls to the game. The Axolotls are similar to the existing  Axolotls in the vanilla game, but they are different colours.These Axolotls can be spawned via the normal Axolotl spawn egg, it will randomly spawn a random Axolotl. You can still get a Vanilla Axolotl, but you also have a chance to get one of the Axolotls from this mod when using the vanilla spawn egg. The Axolotls also support having children just like other animals, just right click the floor near an existing Axolotl and it will make a mini axolotl of the same type. There are 2 Axolotls that may not be spawned with the spawn egg that also do not spawn naturally, these are the Skulk Axolotl and the Glowxolotl, these must be obtained with breeding. The breed axolotls you need buckets with tropical fish, but there are a large amount of Axolotls in the mod so it may take a while to get one of the existing ones.You can spawn most of the axolotls with commands also. The command format is /summon minecraft:axolotl [pos] {Variant:"mavm:<variantname>"}The Axolotls can do stuff like swim and other stuff like vanilla, and some of the variants in the mod are Lucia, Wilder, Golden, Green, Skulk, Dark, Red, Glowxolotl, White, Cyanide, and more. The glow one looks a lot like the glow squid and glows.The mod is officially only for 1.17 and newer, however there is a backport that is endorsed by the original creators for 1.16.5 which is an addon for the Caves and Cliffs Backport Mod. The main difference is that the command uses cavesandcliffs:axolotl rather than minecraft:axolotl like this:/summon cavesandcliffs:axolotl [pos] {Variant:<variantnumber>b}Newer versions of the mod also  requires an api called More Axolotl Variants API. The mod also has compatibility with Axolotl Bucket Fix. More Axolotls Variants is a good Vanilla+ or QoL Mod to enhance your world.

Enderscape is an End enhancement mod designed to make the end more enjoyable with things like new biomes, items, mobs, blocks, decorations, and more. While the end is normally pretty boring, especially in newer updates with the islands, this mod tries to make the end more fun, a lot like the overworld but with more of an end theme.Some of the biomes include theCelestial Plains, which is kind of like a mushroom biome with lots of brown plants, tall blank mushrooms, and various end mobsCorrupt Depths is a biome found beneath the end islands with strange plants and glowing stalactites from top to bottom.And a lot moreThey contain a bunch of different items that can be used as decoration for your base; often with a purple or brown theme, the plants would make a good addition to the garden. There is also a new material called Nebulite which has special abilities, and a mirror, which also has special abilities. Both can be used in conjunction with the cauldrons. Lots of the stuff is celestial themed, like many other mods that add things at the end. This mod has different variations for its blocks, like the ability to build things like signs and doors.There are three main new mobs added; two of them are Drifters and Rubblemites. The drifters look like a combination of jellyfish and mushrooms and fly in the plains, while Rubblemites are brown creatures that are small and roam the floor.The mod in general makes the End look very nice, and it looks even nicer with shaders, such as Nostalgia Shaders.The content in this mod is much more quality of life based and is not as overkill as other end overhaul mods such as BetterEnd; you do not even get to the modded biomes until you venture out, and the mobs are not very powerful and easy to kill with vanilla gear, and the drops are also not overly powerful, making this a good Vanilla Plus Friendly end overhaul mod, though it can still be used in conjunction with other end mOutside of the Fabric API/Quilted Fabric API, BCLib is also required. BCLib has a lot of features, such as custom worldgen, especially in other dimensions such as the End via BetterX. When starting the game with BCLib for the first time, you will get a configuration screen giving you many options, such as the ability to turn off the BetterX world generator, the ability to turn off the Unsupported Settings Screen (similar to Shutup Experimental Settings! and Disable Custom Worlds Advice), and more, though it only comes up once.

Critters and Companions is an absolutely adorable mod that adds multiple mobs to the game, with a few of them having useful functionalities and some being decorative. You will find them in rivers, plains, the ocean and some other locations, with the Koi, Ferret, Otter, Dragonfly, Red Panda and Dumbo Octopus being some major examples.Dragonflies can be tamed with spider eyes to help you out during combat, Otters will attack fish near them and eat whatever fish you right click them with, but they'll also open clams that you can get from fishing. This will get you pearls, that you can use to make a necklace that gives you major buffs for underwater exploration.Ferrets can be tamed with raw rabbit and will dig for loot if you give them raw chicken, or assist you when looking for animals to hunt. If you find enough Koi Fish grouped together in a river, they'll give you a Luck buff.This mod offers versions for both Forge and Fabric. Download links are given below.

Mystic's Biomes adds a variety of new vibrant, colourful biomes to Minecraft. The screenshots given below speaks for themselves. You can see how bright and alive the game looks with this mod installed. The biomes offer a new heavenly experience that's simply not possible in vanilla Minecraft. The most notable part is the smart usage of the colour pink. Pink is very rare in vanilla Minecraft, as they only appears on flowers and such. This mod turns the colour of the leaves of birch trees to pink, giving the game a completely different look. Alongside this, pink flowers are scattered all across the terrain, intermixed with regular grass to change the way the terrain looks. The game simply looks more fun and playful with this mod.This is a Forge mod and download links are given below.

Shutup Experimental Settings! is a mod that removes a screen in Minecraft that warns you about using experimental settings.In Minecraft, starting around the 1.16 era, the Experimental Settings screen was introduced into Minecraft. The experimental settings screen mostly came up if you had a world with custom world gen, custom dimensions, or other unsupported settings. There is also a warning symbol next to the worlds with these experimental settings.This screen normally does not do anything, and if you press the button saying you know what you are doing, you won't likely see the screen until you apply new experimental settings. The initial screen, though, is just seen as an annoyance for some people. In some laggy modpacks it becomes very unpleasant, if not impossible, to click that, especially in a server setting.Shutup Experimental Settings! removes this screen. When creating a world with unsupported settings, Minecraft will skip this screen. This does not mean that this mod may fix the issues that come with experimental settings. Broken world generation, broken biomes, and most notably, broken datapacks (which still can prevent the world from loading even with the smallest errors) still exist and will not be fixed with this mod and still need to be fixed by the mod/datapack author. This mod does the same thing as pressing the proceed button. The dragons they talk about in the warning messages may still be there, and like other modded content, you will not get support from Mojang.The mod is very lightweight, with an empty entrypoint and a simple SpongeMixin specifying the lifecycle as stable.There are a lot of similar mods which do the same or similar things. One of the most notable ones is Disable Custom Worlds Advice for Fabric and Quilt, which is what Shutup Experimental Settings! is based on (and which supports Shutup Experimental Settings! And is listed as a co-author of it) and is for Fabric but does not require Fabric API, making it suitable for cases which you do not want Fabric API.Shutup Experimental Settings! is a good option for modpacks since it is very easy to put in. It's an excellent option for people who just do not like the experimental screen or just want to make worlds a lot or make worlds and walk away while the world is made, or for people playing a laggy configuration and pressing the button is a pain.

The Resource Tools mod adds several new item into Minecraft that will make you game overall better. First, there are two resource blocks. The first one is the Well Spring block that gives an endless supply of water. Basically an infinite water source in just one block. The second resource block is the Lava Spring block that gives an endless supply of lava. Place a Lava Spring on the left, right, front, or back of a vanilla Furnace, Blast Furnace, Smoker, or Brewing Stand to provide continuous fuel. Furthermore, there are compressed variants for several blocks like Dirt, Gravel, Sand, Cobblestone, Andesite, Diorite, Granite, Basalt, Cobbled Deepslate, Tuff, and Netherrack. There are upto 3 levels of compression and this makes storage and transportation of these blocks so much more easier. They can be used for building purposes too. Some other features of this mod are :A Furnace, Blast Furnace, and Smoker get a 4x speed boost when feed by a LavaSpring.Craft Sulfur, Saltpeter, and Charcoal into Gun Powder.Bamboo can be processed into leather in a three step process.Light sticks on a campfire to get torches.Red and Brown Mushrooms can be crafted to/from blocks.Rotten Flesh can be smelted into Leather.Craft (9) paper into a Ream of Paper for storage.(2) blaze powder can be crafted into Blaze Rod.Clay Blocks can be crafted into (9) Clay Balls.(2) Slimeballs from Honeycomb, Cactus Green, and Saltpeter.Make stone tools with Diorite, Granite, and Andesite as well as Cobblestone.Take a look at the screenshots to see what you can expect from this mod.

Enriched is an amazing mod that changes many aspects of Minecraft. The mod adds a few new biomes into the game, like Redwood forest, Diverse forest, Desert mountains, Extreme mountains, etc. All of these biomes can be found throughout your world while exploring. The mod also adds 5 new materials into the game, namely Steel, Obsidian Alloy, Ruby, Sapphire and Tanzanite. Each of these materials come with their own armor, tool and weapon variants. Earlier, emeralds and copper weren't of much use. But with this mod, you can craft armor, tools and weapons with emeralds and copper. The mod also adds a few new blocks, that includes the ore and block variants of the above minerals and some other blocks like dark granite and marble. A bit of a downside I noticed with this mod is that the biomes cannot be located using the /locate command. Hopefully, the creator adds this feature in a later update.Take a look at the screenshots to see what you can expect from this mod. This is a Fabric mod and download links are given below. Read the installation instructions carefully.

The Toast Control mod is a simple mod that helps you adjust the appearance of Toasts. Toasts are the achievement bars that slide in onto your screen when you complete a specific achievement. Some of them are easy to unlock, while some are very hard. Toasts that appear after the completion of a hard achievement gives the player something to be proud of. But the easy ones are not-so-welcomed by many players as these are generally annoying. For example, a toast will appear when the player touches water for the first time in a Minecraft world and unlocks the recipe for boats. There are many other similar toasts that appear upon unlocking a recipe. This mod removes all of them. Furthermore, you can use this mod to change the transparency of the toasts.Download links for this mod are given below.
