Really living in a kawaii cubed wonderland? Fear not, for I have prepared a delectable assortment of mods for a unique experience (even including a download of the whole modpack for your convenience! wow!)

How do you mod Minecraft?
Honestly, when I got into modding Minecraft I really bit off more than I could chew. It’s such a complicated process because there are so many different platforms for Minecraft, versions of the game and launchers you can use that it really makes it difficult to give a “one size fits all” answer to how to mod Minecraft. How I personally mod Minecraft is through (a lot of googling) and using the CurseForge launcher. I’ve found this to be the easiest, most streamlined way to source mods and ensure they’re installed correctly. Below are linked a couple hand-picked tutorials from YouTube that could help you in your journey to become a pro Minecraft Modder.

Where do you get your mods?
I download most of my Minecraft mods from CurseForge.com, with the exception of the odd mod here or there from the developer’s websites. It’s largely a lot of googling and relying on other people’s link lists lmao, so I’m here to pay it forward with my own!

How are you running so many mods without crashes?
with the power of prayer tbh 💀 I give my Minecraft a good 10 minutes to load up before my streams, and then I don’t mess with the resource or shader settings after the game is launched without expecting a crash. I do experience a little bit of lag from time to time since my mods run across a multiplayer server, but it’s nothing that really hinders my gameplay too much.

How to Allocate more RAM to Minecraft:
To help my Minecraft run a little more smoothly with all these mods running, I realized I needed Minecraft to have more access to all the RAM I stocked this PC up with. I followed this tutorial by The BreakDown to learn how to allocate more RAM to Minecraft!
