Forge mods power one of the largest Minecraft modding ecosystems. From huge adventure packs to technical tools, explore countless ways players have shaped the game for over a decade.
When I sat down to plan my next Minecraft video, I realized something: the vanilla Nether just wasn’t giving me the atmosphere I needed. Lava oceans, repetitive fortresses, and endless Netherrack it all felt the same. For YouTube, that doesn’t make exciting content. I needed something more cinematic, something that would give my viewers the […]
When I first played vanilla Minecraft, everything was fine. The game ran smoothly without any optimization mods, and even a handful of simple mods didn’t cause trouble. But once I stepped into the world of big modpacks with hundreds of mods, things quickly changed. My system isn’t weak. I run 16GB RAM, a GTX 1660 […]
For years, OptiFine was considered a must-have Minecraft mod. If you wanted shaders, emissive mob eyes, or randomized textures, OptiFine was your go-to. But as the game evolved, especially with the rise of Fabric and performance mods like Sodium, Lithium, and Iris, OptiFine started to feel more like a relic. It’s bloated, slow to update, […]
Minecraft has always been about freedom and creativity, but hidden beneath the surface of building and survival lies a mountain of math. If you’ve ever had to calculate how many stacks of stone you need to build a 600-block-long bridge, or if you’ve tried to figure out the exact Nether coordinates to match your Overworld […]
In vanilla Minecraft, hostile mobs spawn in the most straightforward way possible. One second the room is empty, and in the next moment a zombie or skeleton has suddenly appeared out of thin air. It is functional, but it breaks immersion. There is no sense of presence, no story, and no atmosphere. That is exactly […]
When I first bumped into Citadel, it wasn’t because I went looking for it. Like most players, I discovered it the hard way: trying to launch Alex’s Mobs or Ice and Fire, only to have my game crash. A quick search later, I realized the missing piece was Citadel. I dropped it into my mods […]
What Is Alex’s Mobs? Minecraft has always been full of creatures, but most players agree the vanilla roster is… limited. Cows, pigs, sheep, a handful of hostile mobs it feels a bit empty, especially for those who spend hours exploring. Alex’s Mobs changes that. This mod introduces over 85 new animals and creatures into Minecraft, […]
Minecraft is all about creativity, but if you’ve ever tried to build something big, you know how tiring it can be to place blocks one by one. That’s when WorldEdit comes in. WorldEdit is an in-game map editor for Minecraft. It can run as a plugin on servers (Bukkit, Spigot, Paper) or as a mod […]
I’ve always felt that vanilla Minecraft, as much as I love it, can get a little too empty between villages, temples, and strongholds. Exploration sometimes turns into long stretches of nothing, where the excitement of discovery fades into just walking. That’s why I decided to try Explorify a structure mod/datapack that promises to add new […]
One of the hidden performance killers in Minecraft is exploring new chunks. Every time you run in a fresh direction, the server has to generate terrain on the fly. For singleplayer it’s just a hiccup, but on servers with multiple players it can mean lag spikes, TPS drops, or even crashes when everyone is exploring […]
