Creator: Lupin

Essentials Mods, as the name suggests, aims to add what the creator considers all the mods vital to a great custom modpack. The description even mentions that this is a perfect foundation to add extra mods to. That's not to say there's a lack of great mods included, as players will be able to enjoy many ambiance, structure, mob, utility, and quality-of-life mods.

Not having to manually track down and install all of the same foundational mods is what makes Essentials Mods such an incredible pack to use.


7) The Vanilla Experience

Creator: Serilium

The Vanilla Experience is an interesting Minecraft 1.21 modpack. It's intentionally a very vanilla-friendly, light modpack, making it possible to interchange worlds with the base game freely. This is possible as most of the included mods focus on minor gameplay tweaks and quality-of-life changes to make the base game more enjoyable.

For example, players can store experience points in empty bottles, mobs have a chance to drop their heads, and ingredients can be consumed for short bursts of their Minecraft potion effects. This modpack is perfect for those who enjoy the vanilla game but want to experience it through a fresh set of eyes.


8) Fabulously Optimized

Fabulously Optimized is perfect for players on medium- and lower-end PCs. It can even make large overhaul mods easy to run on older hardware.


9) Monumental Experience

Monumental Experience aims to provide a more challenging experience while still feeling fair and balanced.

Monumental Experience is perfect for those who think the vanilla game has become too easy.
