Quick answer

Which WikiRaze's Recommended release should I use?

Updated 2 years ago
Latest stable file WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1
Game version 1.21.1
Loader Fabric 0.16.5

WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1 is a complete pack release for 1.21.1 with Fabric 0.16.5. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 21 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up WikiRaze's Recommended for players and a server?

Use WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1
Dedicated server setup Match WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1
Pack loader Fabric 0.16.5

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Referenced mods 21
Client only 13
Server only 0
Not labelled 8

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for WikiRaze's Recommended?

WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

21 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is WikiRaze's Recommended 21e_1. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with Fabric 0.16.5. It contains 21 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is WikiRaze's Recommended?

Hi I'm WikiRaze and this is my Recommended Mods list! I have always wanted a stricly vanilla experience. But over the years I have started to stretch that idea somewhat and added some vanilla-enhancing mods and resourcepacks. I often get questions about which mods I use, or which I recommend. So if you are like me, and just want to enhance vanilla without letting it feel modded, then this modpack is for you.

It's not vanilla, it's not modded. It's juuuust right.

Vanilla compatible

This is a clientside modpack which can be used on all vanilla servers.

Nicer visuals

  • Physics Mod (adds physics animations to some objects)
  • Iris Shaders with Complementary Shaders (enhances the vanilla feel, but not too much)
  • Fresh Animations (resourcepack which adds animations to mobs)
  • 3D Skin Layers (makes the player model look nicer)
  • Invisible Armor (lets you actually see your friends skins, can be disabled as it is a resourcepack)
  • Not Enough Animations (adds 3rd person animations to the player model)

Helping hands

  • Mod Menu (lets you see which mods are installed)
  • ViaFabric (lets you join older minecraft servers)
  • Zoomify (zoom in using "C")
  • Xaero's Minimap & Xaero's World Map (generates a world map of places you've been)
  • Simple Voice Chat (lets you talk ingame on servers which support it)
  • Stendahl (adds quality of life features to books, signs and chat)

"Optifine"-textures compatible

  • Entity Model Features
  • Entity Texture Features
  • CIT Resewn (not updated yet, so not yet included)

These three mods lets you use resourcepacks which adds features not found in the vanilla game. Like connected textures, alternate textures and such.

Lag reducing

  • Sodium
  • Entity Culling

This modpack does not have lag-reducing as one of it's main features. If your computer is slow you might want to add some more mods. However this should get you started. Try it out and see if it works for you. It does for me!
