1.21.5 Modpack - Bean Edition

[Smol 2229]

 

 

It’s that time again! With the arrival of 1.21.5 formally onto Lord Of The Craft, it’s time for another new bean pack edition. Thank you to @Echo_42069 for testing this modpack for any conflicts, as well as @Cheezboi9  for helping to track down the new advanced chat mod version. Plus a final thanks to @PrinceTheDM for making a modrinth file for the modpack. Also, you don’t have to use the vanilla launcher for this and keep in mind you can use Modrinth’s own one, as it should work just as well for most of these mods.

 

Please note that not all mods will work with each other. We will provide notes under the affected mod to indicate what mods don't work together.

If you see anything that needs to be added or fixed, hit me up on Discord at smol_bean and I’ll add it in.

 

 

How To Install Fabric:

 

This is how to install Fabric, which is shown below in our required mod section. This information is cited from here.

1. Download the Fabric Installer

 

By using the link below, you can download the fabric installer.

https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/

If you use Windows, download the .exe version (Download For Windows), because it doesn't require Java to be installed on your system. It instead uses Java that came with the official launcher.

For macOS and Linux, you should download the .jar version. Sometimes, you need to install Java before this step.

2. Run the Fabric Installer

Once you've opened the installer, you should see a screen like this:

 

 

To install Fabric, simply choose your game version from the dropdown, make sure it's 1.21.5, and click Install.

 

Ensure that 'Create Profile' is selected.

 

3. You're Done!

 

Once the installer has finished, you can open the Minecraft Launcher and select the Fabric profile from the dropdown in the bottom left corner and press Play!

If troubleshooting is needed, refer to the link from which this information is sourced for guidance on how to troubleshoot.
 

How To Install Mods Via Fabric:

 

This is how to install Fabric mods, which is the type of mod we have on the modpack. This information is cited from here.

1. Download The Mod

The majority of mods require Fabric API as well, which can be downloaded from Modrinth or CurseForge or below from the required section of our mod list.

 

When downloading the mods, ensure that:

 

• They work on the version of Minecraft you want to play on. A mod that works on version 1.21, for example, might not work on version 1.21.5.
• They are for Fabric and not another mod loader.
• Furthermore, they are for the correct edition of Minecraft (Java Edition).

 

2. Move The Mod To The Mods Folder.

 

The mods folder can be found in the following locations for each operating system.

 

You can usually paste these paths into the address bar of your file explorer to quickly navigate to the folder.

Windows:

%appdata%\.minecraft\mods

MacOS:
 

~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Linux:

 

~/.minecraft/mods

Once you've found the mods folder, you can move the mod .jar files into it.

3. You’re Done!

Once you've moved the mods into the mods folder, you can open the Minecraft Launcher and select the Fabric profile from the dropdown in the bottom left corner and press play!

If there is any troubleshooting that needs to be done, refer to the link where this information is from on how to troubleshoot.

 

 

When it comes to downloading the modpack, we’ve done things a little differently this time. Instead of a single version, we’ve split it into separate folders, each containing a different number of mods. This way, players can choose the setup that best matches their computer’s performance, so even the most potato PCs will be able to run at least some of the mods.

 

We have also created a list of shaders and resources, including some recommended resource packs that are guaranteed to work well with these mods, which can be found within the Google Drive link provided.

 

If you are interested in what is in each Mod Pack Folder in detail, please take a look below.

As a heads up, the Litematica Printer mod linked will cause your game to crash once your hotbar fills up due to an integer error.

I have made a version that fixes this bug for 1.21.5 which I've shared via Discord.
