Recommended Mods
No mods are required to play on Waychest. However, the mods on this page improve the overall experience on the server in various ways.
If a mod is not mentioned, it is likely still allowed. The only restriction falls under the Server Rule: if a mod creates problems or could interfere with other players’ gameplay, it is not allowed.
If you have not installed mods before, Prism Launcher makes them easy to install and manage. Read the Prism getting started guide for more information.
Optimization
Everything in Fabulously Optimized is highly recommended,
especially Sodium and Sodium Extra. These mods all massively improve performance on most devices. I recommend
using Prism Launcher and creating an instance with Fabulously Optimized as the base.
(Prism Launcher > Add Instance > Modrinth > Fabulously Optimized)
Increased View Distance
Distant Horizons has server-side support to increase your view distance on Waychest. With Distant Horizons installed, the maximum view distance is 4096 blocks in the overworld and 1024 blocks in the nether (512 blocks without DH).
If you have issues with Distant Horizons, you can also try Bobby, but you’ll have to move within 512 blocks of terrain before you can see it from afar.
