What is Quality of Queso❔

  • 📦 Quality of Queso is a mod designed specifically for vanilla gameplay by adding various quality-of-life features, including precise inventory management, various HUD features, container searching, and so much more!
  • 💭 The idea originated from a video featuring me (Dillon) and my friend, MannyQUESO, released to celebrate the new year of 2025 (a pretty big year for us, as it was our graduation 🎓 year).
  • 🛠️ We came up with idea to create a client-side "quality of life" mod, that should add various quality of life features to the game to improve our vanilla experience, and that's exactly what we did!
  • 📈 Starting off with very small, unnoticeable features, quickly branched off into a huge project to further enhance the game when it comes to actual gameplay and managing items, as it can be difficult and annoying sometimes.
  • That's why this mod was created! To further enhance your Minecraft experience by easily sorting and managing items, adding cool visual effects, remove fog, and so much more! We hope that this mod suits you! :)
  • ❗Please note how I constantly mentioned "vanilla experience". This mod was specifically designed for modern, vanilla Minecraft, not for big modpacks or older Minecraft. You can use this mod in modpacks, but please be aware that not all features (especially inventory management) may work with modded containers, blocks or items.
