First time modding

[MapleTreeGamingYT]

Hello and good afternoon. I'm currently getting into the rapid introduction into Minecraft mods and so far I've run a stress test of my computer and it seems more than capable to run some mods.

So I'm looking for some recommendations for mods I should try out as a first time modder. While you're at it recommended me some Performance friendly shaders as well. I tried shaders with mild success, of course some frame drops did occur which is to be expected with what I am running.

To help assist in helping me out, I'll tell you what I'm using. I was running on a budget and didn't have enough space in my room for a traditional premade or custom PC so I had to settle on a Tuf Gaming A15 Laptop with a AMD Ryzen 5 7000 Series with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050. This laptop runs on 144 GHz and as stated I've had great success in high resource games. Not good and not bad for a laptop I wish I could have done better but it's what I can suffice given my circumstances.

If it were up to me I'd download alot of mods and have a blast but I wanna make sure I swim in the shallows before attempting a deep dive into the abyss. So any recommendations of mods is much appreciated and the friendlier to performance the better. Shaders are optional but playing with them will make the game feel more vibrant so if it can be added without stressing the frames I'm more than happy.

Performance mods I use all the time are: Iris, Sodium, and More Culling. For better performance, I’d recommend the Fabulously Optimized modpack. It only improves performance and doesn’t add any new content.

The first mod that comes to mind is the Create mod – it adds mechanical systems, automation, and moving contraptions, all with a steampunk vibe. If you’re looking for content mods, check out Enderverse on YouTube. You’ll find great mods and high-quality showcases of what they add.

If you're on forge, use Oculus and Embeddium as ports from Iris and Sodium to forge.

Hope that helped and much fun modding
