As per usual: I use MultiMC to manage my Minecraft versions and mods. If you're going to install these mods, I recommend you use MultiMC as well.
As for mod loader, I use Fabric, not forge. This guide will be written for version 0.12.12.
Most links will point to Modrinth. If the mod is not available there, it will point to another website. If you'd like to see anything added, contact me on discord Nick#2014.
Libraries are needed for some of these mods to run. Install all of them, regardless of which mods you use.

Figura is a pretty cool mod that allows you to add custom Blockbench models to your skin. This also includes animations. It works completely client side.
Iris is a pretty cool shaders mod. It's really fast compared to Optifine, because it works with Sodium & co. To download it, go to their website, download the universal jar, and install it as a fabric mod. Be sure to only have one version of Sodium present when you're done - The one installed with Iris. For a full, updated list of working shaders, see this github page. If you want to be able to change your shader settings, use Iris Starline. Download instructions are on the page.
As of 1.17, Advanced chat has been split up into multiple mods:
- AdvancedChatCore
- AdvancedChatHUD
- AdvancedChatBox
- AdvancedChatFilters
- AdvancedChatLog
- AdvancedChatMacros - Coming in the future
