WikiRaze's Recommended
A client-side modpack for vanilla play with nicer visuals, and "good-to-have" mods. This is my recommended mods list if you want the golden median between modded and vanilla.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
WikiRaze's Recommended server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to WikiRaze's Recommended without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
WikiRaze's Recommended server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
