What Mods Can't You Live Without?

I did manual photography using screw-on filters and black n white printing the old fashion way, but dont know anything digital or about this mod: Shaders. Could you enlighten me? Thanks!

 

Hmm... just optfine :/ I have the worst of signals, so it was my only way of playing on Lagplex (1st server), and I refuse to forfeit its benefits :P

 

Mods, I can't live without Abandoned Bank

wait what? Ooh minecraft mods?

Then it has to be Optifine, because I need my zoom zoom ability, also I hate lag and I get a sick cape.

 

I love the lord of the rings mod, it have about 100 biomes, 200 new mobs, 2 new bosses, thousands of blocks, quests etc

 

Ganny and Papa Banku.

 

Optifine with the Shaders. I gotta make my game look pretty.

It also used to be Xaero's Minimap, but that was back in 1.7

I know more mods have 1.8 compatibility, but eh. Too lazy.

 

Optifine xD

 

Optifine, 5-Zig.

 

I haven't seen anyone else say it, so I will: JABBA. Barrels are soooooooo useful for storing tons of items. Ender IO also hasn't been mentioned, so I'll add that to the general list. I'll end with mfr, because, well, mfr.
