⛏ Mod Guide for 1.18.2

This is a no frills guide to improving your minecraft roleplaying experience. This will be utilizing both the Prism Launcher for massively ease of use minecraft playing of all versions and types, I highly recommend looking into this despite whether you wish to mod your LOTC experience or not. Here’s the official website and all the info you need along with the download link: https://prismlauncher.org/

 

Part of the massive convenience of Prism apart from managing multiple different minecraft versions with ease, is the mod implementation. You can simply edit a selected MC version and select the mods tab to search Modrinth and Curseforge from within Prism to find any mods you need, along with being able to view the most popular mods on each platform there. Alongside this it’ll also preview the mod page for you, so remember to check for required mods before selecting them for installation. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, it automatically finds a compatible version of the mod you’re looking at, and you can simply click “Select mod for download”. You can do this with multiple mods at once, though of course I recommend pacing yourself there so if you run into any problems, you’re not having to troubleshoot a massive list of mods to work out the issue. In saying that, when launching, if it’s a simple mod incompatibility or a missing dependent mod, Prism can often detect this and will let you know the reason for it failing to launch. You can enable and disable mods from the list once you’ve downloaded some of them, and you can also “Check for Updates” down the line to see if there’s anything new waiting for you.

 

THE POG MOD LIST

 

I’m going to do my best to break up the list into three categories. Essential, optimal, and luxury. Essential being mods I recommend everybody run, these are mostly quality of life and performance mods. Optimal, which are less necessary, but nice to have mods. And Luxury, which will consist of performance intensive roleplay enhancing mods. These aren’t necessarily most important to least, but I’ve tried to keep it roughly consistent.

 

Remember if you’re utilizing Prism Launcher you won’t need to individually download and place mods in your mod folder, the links are purely for your information (Or if you don’t wanna use Prism for some reason)

Used to always look at @Polysemic's 1.17.1 Mod List post for when I was configuring for Almaris and was praying one would come out for 1.18.2 as I knew I was missing out on a lot of the good mods.

 

Literal life saver, thank you much man!

I couldn't say for sure, but I don't believe it's got a Fabric fork, so alternatives are used for Fabric versions atm.

[_Sheylo_ 978]

Can you put some color to this?
Otherwise, looks like a good list.

I think there's a guide to downsize player models in the figura discord so u can do dwarf/halfling models.

It is a lot more complicated tho yeh.

Prism would be perfect if I didn't have to install java 17 (Java will do everything but install java 17).

[NotEvilAtAll 8969]

i hope dynamic surroundings fabric version gets a 1.18.2 version some day. it's my favorite mod

[NotAPan 403]

I'd recommend advancedchat to the list. It makes life so much easier.

[rep2k 2436]

I launched my browser just so I could find an old post with list of mods, and I found this one. Respect king.

Yeah you right homie, I formatted it all nicely and when I pasted it here it just all went to all unformulated black text💀so I just did the minimum and left it for the night cause I was busted down sexual style. Should be much better now!

Something I actually love about Prism is you can just toggle between with Java version you wanna use once you've got both on your PC. So when I launch up an older MC version it'll be like "Oop, you ain't got the right java" and you can just go into the settings, under a java tab, auto detect all versions on your pc, and quick swap like THAT, love it!
