Thousands of mods out there. I find the ones worth installing.
I'm The Mod Hunter. I test mods, resource packs and every new Minecraft update, and now Hytale too, then show you the best ones in short videos on YouTube and TikTok. Every find gets a page here: what it does, how to install it, and the official download.
Fresh from the channel. Tested in-game on the current version.
Sixteen resource packs for Minecraft 26.3, every one side by side with vanilla on the same camera moves. Ranked from C to S tier on how much better they make the game and how easy they are to use.
I tested 17 Hytale mods that run on Update 7 in real gameplay and ranked every one from C tier to S tier: Endgame & QoL, BetterMap, Where this at?, Vein Mining, Adoa's Minimap, Automatic Storage, Repair Workbench and ten more.
Six shader packs, waves on the ocean, real physics and land all the way to the horizon, all tested in Minecraft 26.3 on the same PC, in the same world, on the same camera paths. Vanilla ran at about 470 FPS, every shader pack between 75 and 96, and the full setup at about 55.
My own pack for Minecraft Java 26.3: waving leaves and grass, golden sunsets, warm torch light, glow and soft shadows, with no Iris, no OptiFine and no mod loader. Three looks you switch in-game, my FPS numbers and how to install it.
The 15 Fabric mods I put in every Minecraft 26.3 world, ranked from 15 to 1, each one filmed next to vanilla: from Jade and Mouse Tweaks to FallingTree, Carry On and AppleSkin.
Haven't played Minecraft in a while? 2026 brought three drops: new baby mobs and the golden dandelion, the Sulfur Cube and Sulfur Caves, the Dappled Forest, abandoned camps and cushions. The fourth drop is already in snapshots.

The exact menu path, where the resourcepacks folder is, why the top pack wins, what the warning "Made for an older version of Minecraft" means and which packs need a mod. With fixes for the problems I ran into while testing ten packs.
Five complete texture packs for Minecraft 26.3, tested in my Block Archive with 407 blocks: Excalibur, Whimscape, Golden Days, Alacrity and Faithful 64x. Same camera path for vanilla and every pack, no mods needed.

All five 26.4 snapshots in one place: Vulkan by default, a new F3 screen, ice caves and the Frostbite, Brittle Ice and jukebox playlists, and now Packed Ice Bricks. With release dates, my own tests from the snapshots and what each one means for mods.
Ice that cracks under your feet and jukeboxes that play a whole chest of music discs. I tested Brittle Ice, the new ice crevasses and jukebox playlists in the snapshot.

Seven quality of life mods for Hytale Update 7, all tested in 0.7.2: Where this at?, Automatic Storage, Repair Workbench, Adoa's Minimap, Advanced Item Info, Recover Arrows and Better Modlist. How I set each one up, what it costs, and how to install mods with the in-game mod browser.
Haven't played Hytale since January? Seven updates added dinosaurs, taming, around 500 blocks, voice chat, controllers, a mod browser, Hardcore Mode and Chapter One with the first dungeon. Plus what all this means for your old world.
