I like using vanilla enhancing mods, like Sodium, Phosphor, MouseTweaks, or Xaero's Minimap. Is anyone against mods like this, especially the minimap/waypoints?
I generally like my communities to be moderated so I am personally pro mod... Oh your not talking about moderators, well then, um, I guess I have no problem with them
Map and Minimap mods can be installed on your client and work on servers. I have Xaeros on my client and it works on my friend serve who runs vanilla.
One of the few mods I think everyone should use is the tree cutting mod that lets you choo the first block of a tree and subsequently chops all blocks above it. It takes longer to cut the block and does more DMG to the axe durability but it's still waaaaay better then having to chop each block on the tree.
You can change it's settings I think. When I used it I made it take longer to chip the bigger the tree because I didn't want to feel too "cheaty." I just wanted to not have to climb up the tree and not have to hunt for a random branch log but also not make tree farming completely trivial.
