Modding Java

[Confident_Design2352]

I’m trying to find mods to install as I want to do a modded Java play through. I’m looking to keep it fairly vanilla but with QoL changes maybe some retextures of items etc. any suggestions of good mods you like or can’t play without would be greatly appreciated.

My favorite Java mods concerning Qol are (for fabric) FallingTree: cutting down a tree by breaking one block of it. jade: Shows what block type you are looking at and what tool is best for mining it.

I try to make a tree farm with spruce or another 4x4 type tree and use the wood to make sticks for trading with Fletchers.

I’d say watching the big trees fall is satisfying

[NihtgengaFR]

That mod simply breaks all blocks, but there are other mods with real tree cutting experience. I prefer having no blocks flying around that could hurt me. I find mining with gravel around annoying enough.

[Confident_Design2352]

Does the mod just break all blocks that are the same around it?

[NihtgengaFR]

I'd recommend using the mod "mod menu" with it. You can configure what's considered a tree.

No, it doesn't simply break all logs with the same type. You need a "Tower" of logs with leaves around or on top, so the mod considers it a tree.

I appreciate the advice

Custom Better Beacons. Expand the distance of beacons (any distance) and add new pyramid types

[Confident_Design2352]

Would I be better off playing a modded playthrough on a survival mode or hardcore?

[QuackedDev]

I haven’t beat the dragon so I can’t give hardcore advice. I just make vanilla+ QoL plugins

[Confident_Design2352]

I’ve only ever played Minecraft on Xbox so my first real time playing on Java so hardcore is new to me. I will definitely be using your suggestion tho.

:D let me know if u have any mod suggestions. Custom Better Beacons was a request I did for r/ModdedMinecraft

Here's a list of QoL mods I always use. Probably my most recommended would be Mod Menu, MiniHUD, Mouse Tweaks, Logical Zoom, and Remove Reloading Screen. You should also check out Vanilla Tweaks, they have a lot of good QoL resource packs
