P-QoL, which stands for Performance Quality-Of-Life, is a simple Minecraft modpack for people who want to push Minecraft optimization onto its limit but also keep the Quality-Of-Life vibes throughout the gameplay, as well as a starting point for new Fabric users who are willing to see what equivalents Fabric has to offer to them.
Or if you want some convincing representative cases for the topic: 'Forge + OptiFine is not always good like it sounds.' 😏
TL;DR: Making your gameplay fancier, more enjoyable while still having the performance you expected.
This modpack was made just for my personal use only, it might break some vanilla functions in Minecraft. With that being said, I can't guarantee that this modpack is 100% stable and bug-free. If you have any problems while using this modpack, please file me a new issue and I will try to response as soon as possible. :D
This GitHub repository was propounded by typical.
Simple enough, here are some steps to install my modpack:
- Install Minecraft first (if you dont't have Minecraft installed then why are you here? 🤨)
- Download Fabric Mod Loader then install the lastest Fabric version
- Open your Minecraft launcher and check if the Fabric Loader profile is installed
It may differ if you're using a different client implementation.
- Type
%appdata%in your File Explorer/search%appdata%/Windows + R then type%appdata%then Enter - Find the
.minecraftfolder, that will be where you Minecraft versions/data stored
- Go to the path
~/.minecraft(the hidden.minecraftfolder in your home directory)
- Open Finder and press ⇧ Shift + ⌘ Command + G or open the Spotlight popup through the magnifying glass icon on the right of the Menu Bar.
- Type
~/Library/Application Support/minecraftand hit ↵ Enter .
- Download the ZIP file from here
- Extract the file using your desired archiver, you will find yourself a
modsfolder - Move that
modsfolder into your Minecraft installation folder (.minecraft) - Run the game with Fabric Mod Loader you just installed
- Congrats, you made it! Now enjoy the "no-lag", smooth-like-butter gameplay with QoL vibes. 😎
You can add some finishing touches onto your Minecraft installation. Keep in mind that these steps are all optional, and they may break functionalities in some occasions.
- Run Minecraft with Azul Zulu
- Pair your Minecraft installation with these JVM Arguments
This modpack was inspired from this list of Optifine alternatives, but it's doesn't mean it will stop there. Here you can find the mods with any little detail about each of them, keep in mind that I only make this modpack for only 1.18.x so if you came here for modpacks that support versions lower than 1.18, unfortunately this is not the right place.
> Surprised enough, Fabric is much more of a light mod loader than Forge so don't worry, you can still have fun with QoL while still maintaining the Performance, and this pack proves it!

| Memory Usage Screen | MORIMORI0317 | Memory usage progession bar on loading screen, toggable with the default keybind "U" | Almost similar to the Forge mod loading screen, except it doesn't show what mod is loading, sadtime |
| Keep Head Names | Fourmisain | Show playerhead tags and lore tags | Only works server-side and singleplayer, it should be here because of MC-164496 |

| WI Zoom | Wurst-Imperium | Zoom feature but it's from Wurst Client as a standalone mod | No, you aren't hacking, same with me, this mod doesn't have any cheats built-in, just the zoom feature that I actually like than Ok Zoomer. Here's the source code |

| Continuity | PepperCode1 | Connected Blocks Textures support to work with Sodium | A replacement for this |

| OF Cape | dragonostic | Loading Optifine capes for Fabric mod loader | "Ew Migrator cape, Optifine cape on the star" - Me using both capes smh |

| Lamb Dynamic Light | LambdAurora | "Dynamic Light" settings to work with Sodium | What can this do? Holding an item will make the surroundings litted up, only for certain blocks/entity (on fire). Also sorry Lamb because I have done the thing 😂 |
| Lambda Better Grass | LambdAurora | "Better Grass" option, cuzynot? | I found out that this mod only renders Vanilla grass, any custom grass textures will break the mod, even VanillaTweaks grass textures, to work like this |
| Iris | IrisShaders | Adds shaders support for Sodium and shader settings | |
| ViewBobbing | InboundBark | Removes the bobbing camera while View Bobbing is enable | Yes, Badlion stuff, it still keeps the player bobbing movements, but the camera is now static, cool right |
| Name | Author | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siphalor | Fancy inventory sorting stuff with your scroll wheel (Adds several mouse wheel related actions in gui menus like item scrolling and scrolling through tabs/pages) | The "refill" function might flags yourself as Bad Packet if you aren't careful so make sure to turn it off | |
| Inventory Profiles Next | blackd | Inventory sorting with configurable GUI and advance settings | Sadly unlike the mod above this, no stack scrolling or anything, but there are other cool stuff you might wanna check though... |
| MiniHUD | maruohon | Configurable Mini-F3 with lots of cool features | Basically you have this, and you can preview a what-inside-a-shulker or a map (hold Shift while hovering a map) with this mod, cool right? |
| Hide Armor | Furgl | Hide your armor and/or other player's armor (in perspective) | Good for taking a group screenshot without have to take off the armor. Funnier if you turn off the Chestplate while wearing an Elytra |
| Autofish | MrTroot | Let the game do the fishing for you while |
Even the fishing is nerfed, you still can be really OP if you AFK Fishing for like 1-3 hours, unbalanced mod xD |
| Puzzle | PuzzleMC | Adds some minor Optifine features, which might helpful for QoL vibes | I'm kidding lol, turn off resource pack splash screen, it just broke the vanilla one instantly, this mod is in the modpack because of it being helpful as a shortcut for other mods settings |

| Don't Drop It! | ModsByLeo | Adds a delay for pressing the Drop Item hotkey with a "Favourtite Item" just like Terraria (if you know the game) | Recommended, best when you change to your slot 1 instead you pressed Q that you dropped the item |
| Mod Menu | TerraformersMC | Allow you to view the mods you have installed just like Forge | Why Fabric standalone don't have this? Maybe because of it being a silent mod loader? Went well with this |
| Borderless Gaming | comp500 | Allows Minecraft to run in Borderless Fullscreen | What does this do? If you, for example, owning a dual-monitor setup, you might notice Minecraft tabbed out whenever you change to other windows, this prevent the game from tabbing out, which is less more annoying to tab+alt it again by just click on the Minecraft window |
| PingList | Raspberry-Jam | Replace ping bar with numbers so you can understand how good/bad your and others ping | I mean, numbers display is less more troublesome, right? Since not every servers have /ping so this would be useful |
| Status Effect Timer | magicus | Adds a timer overlay to the Vanilla status effect HUD icons | Well, low-budget Potion HUD, I won't complain though, it's good and convenient |
| Parry | FoundationGames | Brings back the classic combat mechanic, which is exploitable for weapon cooldown | Blockhiting in 1.18 is so cursed yet so cool, sadly it's client-side and server-side so if you install it client-side, just like illegal capes out there, only you can see the blockhitting |
| ViaFabric | ViaVersion | Changing the game version without closing the game | Mostly if you on 1.18.1 you can downgrade to 1.17 or 1.16.5 to keep your mod folder lol |
| Enhanced Attack Indicator | Minenash | Shows the attack indicator progress on more actions like breaking, eating, etc... | No, this isn't annoying, it's rather useful if you are that dude willing to do some quick timing actions |
| Simple HUD Utilities | johnvictorfs | Simple Coordinate HUD for players, toggable and clean | Less intense and more optimize than MiniHUD |
| Inspecio | Queerbric | More tooltips for Minecraft | Again, not cheating, it's good for knowing what with what, especially checking shulkers if you don't know what will be hidden in there... |
| Chat Heads | dzwdz | Add heads next to playername for in-game chat | Cool right? No performance loss and you don't have to press Tab most of the time to check what skin they having |
| Hatlist | PotatoPresident | Show hats overlay from skin in Tablist | Works well with Chat heads |
| WaveyCape | tr7zw | Give your cape a wavey movement as it shouldn't be a flowing slab | Kinda bad imo, but no performance impact and you can have 20% identical to Lunar Cloaks |
| Stendhal | NebSpacefarer | Enhances many writing client-side interfaces such as symbols, colors, backups, etc... | You know those time tryng to find if which symbols Minecraft supports so it won't get the weird question mark squarebox? This mod could help you guys, not only recognize the symbols but also could make some fancy stuff |
| Monsters in the Closet | Minenash | Highlights nearest mobs that prevent players from sleeping | ESP, yes, but this mod balances that only in certain distance will highlight with glowing effect |
