The MRCL server is meant to be fully playable just by joining with your Minecraft launcher and accepting the Resource Pack.
However, a modpack was designed to improve performance and visuals for a better experience.
We've uploaded a modpack with allowed and recommended mods on Modrinth: https://modrinth.com/modpack/mrcl. You will need to use the Modrinth launcher to install it (some other launchers can do so as well, but we will not help you find them).
This includes:
- Multiple mods (performance, quality of life, visuals...)
- A BSL Shader with recommended settings, turned off by default.
- An alternative skybox pack based on season 4, which can be enabled or disabled like any other resource pack.
- Entity Culling: Improves performance by no longer rendering blocks or entities that are not visible.
- FerriteCore: Improves performance by optimizing memory usage.
- ModernFix: Improves performance, reduces memory usage and optimizes resource pack loading, sometimes fixing the "Resource reload failed" error on weaker machines.
- Sodium: Massively improves performance.
- Language Reload: Improves the language selection menu and optimizes it to not have to reload the entire game whenever changing it.
- Continuity: Adds the ability to enable Optifine's connected textures feature without Optifine (optional, as you must activate the resource packs included with the mod if you want to use them).
- Disable Click Event Warning: Removes the pop-up that appears whenever trying to click on options in the chat (e.g devirtualization requests).
- FancyMenu: Adds a new custom MRCL-styled main menu.
- Iris Shaders: Adds the ability to use shaders.
- Mod Menu: Adds a menu listing all installed mods.
- Nuit: Adds the ability to implement custom skyboxes (allows the use of the season 4 skybox pack).
- Restore Chat Links: Restores the ability to click URL links in chat.
- Zoomify: Adds the ability to zoom similarly to Optifine.
- Fabric API: Necessary to run most mods.
- Fabric Language Kotlin: Necessary to run certain mods.
- Konkrete: Necessary to run certain mods.
- Melody: Necessary to run certain mods.
- Server Resourcepack Checker: Rarely used by staff.
- YetAnotherConfigLib: Necessary to run certain mods.
