The Client Pack
- By
The Client Pack is a fully client-side modpack for Minecraft 1.15.2, using Minecraft Forge. This is a great modpack to use on servers. Since it’s completely client-side, you can use it on any server or just in single-player. Since 1.15.X is a recent version of Minecraft, there isn’t a huge number of mods, especially client-side only mods, available yet, but there are some good, highly useful mods in this modpack—mods that I, personally, couldn’t live without.
The Client Pack will frequently be updated with new client-side mods and updated versions of older client-side mods as they arrive—as well as updates for the existing mods in this pack.
List of mods:
The most important mod in The Client Pack, Xaero’s Minimap adds a customizable minimap to your screen. It’s a tiny map letting you see the terrain, other players, and mobs as tiny dots on the map. Most importantly, though, it adds a wonderful waypoint feature. Whenever you die, a waypoint is created. If you configure it to, it expires after a while. Even better than that, though, you can create your own waypoints, be it quick, convenient waypoints made with a single button press or custom waypoints with the colour, name, coordinates, etc., that you want. Found an ore or structure you want to save? Or perhaps you just want to put a waypoint at your home? Xaero’s Minimap lets you do it. Xaero’s Minimap is a relatively recent mod and beats out every other minimap mod in several ways, most notably its lightweightness, causing no performance issues.
This is an extension of Xaero’s Minimap which adds a full, self-writing world map.
Controlling overhauls the “Controls” section of the options menu. It adds a convenient search bar, a button to find key conflicts, and more. Even with a small number of mods installed, or even no mods other than Controlling, this is an important time-saver!
Just Enough Items, or JEI, is a port of Not Enough Items, which is a port of Too Many Items. It has a long legacy and for a good reason. This mod adds a large catalogue of every item in the game on the right of your screen, letting you flick through different pages, view recipes and uses for each item in the game, and cheat in items if you’re in creative mode, an OP, or have the permission for the give command. It’s convenient and absolutely necessary, even in vanilla (unmodded) Minecraft!
This mod adds several different convenient ways of moving around items in inventories. It lets you quickly move items into and from chests, barrels, your own inventory, and so on. This small and simple—yet extremely handy—mod is difficult to live out.
This mod does what it says on the tin. It’s straight-forward: It simply removes the recipe book button from your inventory. Experienced players tend to find the recipe book annoying as it’s a pointless reminder of recipes they already know about, and it’s especially useless with JEI installed, so this mod is a necessity.
Disables recipe and tutorial pop-ups, because if you’re downloading a modpack, you probably know the basics of how to play Minecraft and don’t need to be reminded every time you create a new world.
More mods will come in the future as they are being updated for 1.15.2, Forge. Some of these soon-to-come mods are Phosphor, Better Advancements, AppleSkin, and TipTheScales.
