1.17.1 Client-Side Fabric Modlist

  • Ambient indicates the mod adds audio ambience.
  • Optimization simply optimizes the game so it runs better. Just throw all of these mods into the mod folder without thinking about it
  • Visual means that it's purely a visual change, usually some form of tweak.
  • Tweak without the Visual tag means that it modifies existing behavior/functionality. Feature means it adds new functionality/other.
  • OF-Alt means that it's an Optifine Alternate

I suggest adding Enhanced Block Entities to the client side mods section. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/enhanced-block-entities

REQUIRES Indium if you're also using Sodium.
"Aims to increase the performance of block entity rendering, as well as offer customizability via resource packs. How does it work? EBE Makes chests (and soon to be more block entities) use baked block models rather than laggy entity models"

@JamStudiosCorporation Welcome! I haven't played MC in a while, and therefore haven't updated this in a while, but they are still all 1.17.1 fabric client side mods. My friends are getting interested in MC again so I might be updating the list soon

thank you for this list, it helped me find many useful mods !
a couple months later, i stumbled on this other list https://gist.github.com/alkyaly/02830c560d15256855bc529e1e232e88#fabric-117x
which is now abandoned in favour of this repo https://github.com/NordicGamerFE/usefulmods

btw, keeping up with all these mods becomes a hassle at some point, thankfully there are 3 tools that make it much easier :

  • modsettings : saves a million clicks by creating shorctuts to mod settings in options screen, instead of opening modmenu and scrolling
  • mod manager : currently not fully working, it can still navigate modrinth and downloads mods, but no longer detects outdated mods to update them... might be due to modrinth changing some stuff, but it was very good when it worked
  • modget : this will likely replace mod manager and is more versatile
  • Puzzle : brings all optifine-altenatives mods under one GUI as well as adding some features on its own
  • ThatOrThis : now this one is the motherload, with it players can create their own rules with in game GUI to toggle and load different sets of mods based on compatibility or simply mood, with just a rules text file

once again thank you for the list and i hope you having fun tayloring MC exactly how you want it x)
