About this modpack

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!

Modpack wiki coverage

Orca uses the project's published metadata and version files as the source of truth. Item, block, mob, recipe, structure, dimension, GUI, and mechanic pages are added after their included mod files are extracted and attributed.
