Controlify
0by isXander
Full controller support for Minecraft, which ships with none: gamepad-driven menus, radial item wheels, rumble, gyro aiming, and per-controller binds. Agora offers this mod by name when it sees a controller in use, so the same jar the launcher suggests is the one curated here. Needs YetAnotherConfigLib (installed automatically as a dependency); Fabric and NeoForge ship from one universal jar.
Fabric API
0by FabricMC
Core hooks and APIs required by the vast majority of Fabric mods on modern versions. Install before adding content mods.

Iris
0by IrisShaders
Modern shader mod for Fabric/Quilt designed for performance and compatibility. Pairs with Sodium for high-framerate shader support without OptiFine.

Lithium
0by CaffeineMC
Server-side optimization suite that improves game logic, mob AI, and block ticking without changing vanilla behavior. Best run alongside Sodium.

Sodium
0by CaffeineMC
Essential rendering engine replacing legacy OpenGL pipelines. Significantly boosts framerates on nearly all hardware. Incompatible with OptiFine; use Iris for shader support instead.

Xaero's Minimap
0by Xaero96
Lightweight client-side minimap with waypoints. A solid vanilla-plus navigation aid; disable for a purist experience.
