Recommended Mods

No mods are required to play on Waychest. The server has no resource packs, no data packs, and no features that a vanilla Minecraft client cannot run. 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 gives an advantage that could interfere with other players’ gameplay, it is not allowed.

How to Install Mods

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.
    • Especially: Sodium, Lithium, 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

  • Bobby or Farsight (pick 1)
    • If your computer can handle it, these mods increase your view distance beyond what the server can send.
    • This server has a plugin that sends extreme render distances, up to 63 chunks. Bobby or Farsight is required to see more than 32 chunks of render distance.

Book UI Improvements

  • Books Keep Cursor Pos
    • Prevents the cursor from resetting while browsing book-based interfaces.
    • This server makes frequent use of books to provide user interfaces. This mod makes navigating between them easier and less annoying.

Maps
