About this Modpack

Smallish Bits

📖 What is Smallish Bits?

A light kitchensink modpack that keeps the vanilla feeling but adds a small touch of variation and fun to play with friends.

Important note though, the modpack is meant to be used by me and some friends on an SMP so even if I try making it as stable and coherent as possible, some mods may deviate a bit from the original theme.

Great for players who enjoy vanilla or are new to modded Minecraft it keeps things simple and avoids overwhelming changes. At the same time, it adds new decorative blocks, biomes, and mechanics that boost creativity for more experienced players too.

Just a heads-up: this modpack isn’t meant to be complex no questlines or custom content here. The goal is to keep things simple and fun with nice mods that enhance gameplay, nothing more for now!

💿 What version is supported?

  • 1.21.1 Neoforge Only for now, the modpack might get updated to newer versions later but not backported.
    The first version used fabric but with how Neoforge performance is on par and that most mods are compatible + having access to forge mods I decided to switch!

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
