>| # How to Install Minecraft Mods with Modrinth
+
>|
+
>| Modrinth is a user-friendly platform for finding and installing Minecraft mods. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Modrinth and installing mods for the first time.
+
>|
+
>| ### **Step 1: Install the Modrinth App**
+
>| 1. **Download the App**: Visit the official Modrinth website and download the Modrinth app ([modrinth.com/app](https://modrinth.com/app)) for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
+
>| 2. **Run the Installer**: Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts to set up the app on your computer.
+
>| 3. **Launch the App**: Open the Modrinth app after installation is complete.
+
>|
+
>| ### **Step 2: Set Up a Modded Minecraft Profile**
+
>| 1. **Log In**: Log into your Minecraft account through the Modrinth app to link your account.
+
>| 2. **Choose a Mod Loader**: Mods require a mod loader to work. You can choose between:
+
>| - **Fabric**: Lightweight and widely used for performance and quality-of-life mods.
+
>| - **NeoForge**: A community-driven fork of Forge with similar functionality.
+
>| - Select your preferred loader and version of Minecraft through the app.
+
>| 3. **Create a Profile**: Name and save your modded Minecraft profile. This profile will have the loader and Minecraft version pre-installed.
+
>|
+
>| ### **Step 3: Browse and Install Mods**
+
>| 1. **Find Mods**: Use the app’s search bar to explore the vast library of mods. You can search for specific mods (e.g., "Sodium") or browse categories like "Performance" or "Visual Enhancements." See below for a list of recommended mods for playing on Stonehaven.
+
>| 2. **Download Mods**: Click on a mod you want to install, review its description, and check compatibility with your Minecraft version and mod loader. Then, hit the "Install" button, and the Modrinth app will automatically add it to your modded profile.
+
>| 3. **Check Dependencies**: Some mods require additional mods to function (called "dependencies"). The Modrinth app will notify you of these and install them for you.
+
>|
+
>| ### **Step 4: Launch Modded Minecraft**
+
>| 1. **Select Your Profile**: In the Modrinth app, choose the profile containing your mods.
+
>| 2. **Launch the Game**: Hit "Play" to launch Minecraft with your installed mods.
+
>|
+
>| ### **Tips for New Modders**
+
>| - **Back Up Your Worlds**: Modded Minecraft can sometimes be unstable. Always back up your worlds to avoid losing progress.
+
>| - **Stick to Compatible Mods**: Check each mod’s compatibility with your Minecraft version and mod loader to avoid errors.
+
>| - **Join the Community**: If you encounter issues, visit the Modrinth community forums or Discord for help.

### Sodium
-
https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium
-
-
Sodium is a powerful optimization mod. It improves FPS, reduces micro-stuttering, and optimizes rendering efficiency, making it especially valuable for players on low-end or mid-range PCs. It achieves this by entirely replacing minecraft's rendering engine with a more efficient implementation, significantly improving framerates for all configurations. This is the one mod I think everyone should use.
-
-
Recommended to use with [[Reece's Sodium Options|Mods#reeces-sodium-options]] for a better options menu.
-
-
- ✅ Fabric (Recommended)
-
- ✅ NeoForge
-
-
### Reece's Sodium Options

-
-
- ✅ Fabric
-
- ✅ NeoForge
-
-
### Iris
-
https://modrinth.com/mod/iris
-
-
Iris mod built for Fabric that brings compatibility for OptiFine Shaders to Fabric. It works seamlessly with most OptiFine shader packs, making it easy to enhance your game’s visuals without the usual performance hiccups. Built on the Fabric mod loader, Iris focuses on optimizing the way Minecraft handles rendering, so you can enjoy stunning landscapes and immersive lighting effects without sacrificing smooth gameplay. If you’re looking to add a little magic to your Minecraft experience, Iris is the way to go.

List of popular shader packs compatible with Iris:
-
> [!NOTE]
-
> The only difference between the two Complementary shader packs is the default configuration.
-
- [Complementary Reimagined](https://modrinth.com/shader/complementary-reimagined): One of the most popular shader packs, and for good reason. Super customizable and adds a classic shader flavor to your game.
-
- [Complementary Unbound](https://modrinth.com/shader/complementary-unbound): A complementary configuration with a greater focus on visual quality.
-
- [Rethinking Voxels](https://modrinth.com/shader/rethinking-voxels): A shader pack based on complementary with a bigger focus on sharp shadows and realistic lighting.
-
- [BSL Shaders](https://modrinth.com/shader/bsl-shaders): Subtle, vanilla flavored shaders for your game
-
- [BSL Shaders Classic](https://modrinth.com/shader/bsl-shaders-classic): If BSL isn't subtle enough for you, these are the shaders to use. Subtle enough you could forget you even have them on until you see a screenshot of vanilla Minecraft and remember how bad it looks normally

### Sound Physics Remastered
-
https://modrinth.com/mod/sound-physics-remastered
-
-
A Minecraft mod that provides realistic sound attenuation, reverberation, and absorption through blocks.

### Continuity
-

- ❌ NeoForge
-
-
### Entity Culling
-
https://modrinth.com/mod/entityculling
-
-
Minecraft skips rendering things that are behind you, so why is it rendering everything that you still can't see because of a wall in the way? This mod utilizes your other CPU cores/threads to do really quick path-tracing from your camera to all block/-entities to determine rather they are visible or not. During the rendering, the not visible ones will be skipped the same way entities behind you are.
-
-
- ✅ Fabric
-
- ✅ NeoForge

https://modrinth.com/mod/ferrite-core
