## Mod List
|
||
|
||
All the mods listed below require the [Fabric mod loader](https://fabricmc.net/use). Fabric is a modern lightweight alternative to Forge.
|
||
|
||
### Performance mods:
|
||
- [Sodium](https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/releases): does all sorts of performance improvements, replaces graphics settings screen with its own
|
||
- [LazyDFU](https://github.com/astei/lazydfu/releases): decreases start up time by disabling initialization of the DataFixerUpper when it’s not needed
|
||
- [Enhanced Block Entities](https://modrinth.com/mod/OVuFYfre): improves performance around large amounts of chests by pre-computing the animations once (incompatible with Fast Chest)
|
||
- requires [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) and [Indium](https://modrinth.com/mod/indium) to work with Sodium
|
||
- [FastChest](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fastchest): improves performance around large amounts of chests by disabling the animation outright (incompatible with Enhanced Block Entities)
|
||
|
||
### Eye candy:
|
||
- [Iris](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris): shader mod for Fabric, WIP but works with many shaders already
|
||
- requires [Sodium](https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/releases)
|
||
- [Continuity](https://github.com/PepperCode1/Continuity/releases): connected textures
|
||

|
||
- [Farsight](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/farsight-fabric): cache chunks beyond the server’s viewing distance and render them anyway, also fixes the client rebuilding all loaded chunks when the server changes its viewing distance
|
||

|
||
- requires [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api)
|

## Installation
|
||
|
||
Installation of fabric mods works exactly as with Forge mods.
|
||
|
||
Here is a short list of steps:
|
||
1. Install [Fabric Loader](https://fabricmc.net/use)
|
||
2. (optional) Create a separate profile in the Minecraft launcher
|
||
- Go to the `Installations` tab
|
||
- `New Installation`
|
||
- Enter a name, set the version to the previously installed Fabric Loader, change the game directory to a separate directory to keep things clean in your main `.minecraft` directory
|
||
- `Create`
|
||
3. Put the mods in the `mods` folder inside the game directory (launch Minecraft once with this profile if it doesn’t exist, then close it again)
|
||
4. You should be all set. Launch Minecraft and enjoy your mods. The launcher may complain about Minecraft being modded because ... well... it is. Duh. |
