I hadn’t played Minecraft in several years until recently, and needed a refresher. So I found a Vanilla+ modpack called Crucial 2 which has been awesome! Great way to get into some modding basics without making the game overwhelming. Playing over LAN with my boyfriend is really fun.

Also beat the Wither for the first time yesterday :)

I only ever play through old Super Hostile maps or go exploring through old Hermitcraft/Empires seasons in Java (singleplayer).

I play a lot of modded Bedrock using Lutris, and it runs quite a bit smoother than Java (even though I do use optifine and disable a lot of features in the settings on Java).

I play on a vanilla+ (MiniHUD and Carpet mods) server that only contains real-life friends.

I use fabric with shaders, usually play single player (and occasionally join SMPs)

Prism Launcher running Minecraft with Fabric API, Sodium, Iris Shaders, and a shader or two on a SteamDeck. The gyro control is really immersive.

I play on a private SMP that my brother in law created mostly to play with his 7 yrs old son to make him discover the game he used to play when he was younger. However he got quickly tired of playing so it’s my nephew and me only now. It’s a new perspective for me as I’m watching and mentoring a new player getting better and better.

Server is mostly vanilla with a few mods like dynmap and blocklocker. I plan to integrate xaero’s and warp pads so he can start exploring more without fearing to get lost.

I pretty much exclusively play modded, where I set up a server in my homelab for me and my friends to play on. There’s just so much new content to explore than the base game!

If I get invited to a Vanilla server, I’ll always use some form of lightly modded client with some QoL stuff (e.g. a Fabric instance with performance mods like Sodium/Lithium/Phosphor, OkZoomer to mimic the handy Optifine zoom, and a map like Journeymap/Xaero).

I dislike playing pure Vanilla without at least some performance mods on. I don’t get low frames, but the fact that I’m missing out on efficiency irks me.

The current world is Medieval Minecraft for Forge, running on a dedicated homebrew server. Previously we were playing All the Mods 8. Our household has been playing modded since Beta, so we’ve tried many, many mods and packs.

We have run Bedrock once or twice, but nothing beats modded Java for new and interesting content. I also really can’t do without Journeymap.

I have a survival world that I play on with my brother and sister (LAN). I have several QOL and Optimization mods but they are all client side. I’m currently testing out Prism Launcher but haven’t switched over yet.

There is also a whitelist server that I occasionally play on but only when my siblings grow tired of Minecraft (their interest ebbs and flows with the natural cycle of yearly updates and school). I have tried several times to start a server with my IRL friends but they all last about 2 months then after 4 months another one starts up, server 3 was about 6 months ago, I’m always one of the last to leave. I find that there is no substitute to playing with someone IRL vs. using Discord/VoiceChat, or maybe I’m just shy.

I’ve only been playing since late 2019 so I still find vanilla Minecraft to be an enriching experience. I’m saving modded for when I finally get tired of vanilla but I’ve been going for 3 years with no end in sight.

Funnily enough I started playing on Bedrock (Windows 10) but when I started watching Hermitcraft I switch over to Java and never looked back.

I am a mod on a whitelisted java smp server playing vanilla+terralith.

I run prism on archlinux with a heavily modded fabric client for qol and graphics.

I play on my phone because I live off-grid and don’t have reliable electricity. I use my Xbox One controller and put the phone in a stand and power it all with a big battery.

I play Bedrock, on a single-player server, using a Retroid Pocket 2+! It’s an Android-based gaming handheld.

Stock Bedrock survival on a Shockbyte server I play with my kids and some of their friends. But I play on it more than any of them.

Plus a Bedrock realm I keep up to play with my kids, nieces, grandparents, etc to play creative together.

i play on a fabric installation with a ton of performance and QoL mods and i usually play on either my own SMP or hypixel or something.
