Description
Wait, so what is this?
Ol' Reliable is a Minecraft ModPack that I have been working on for some time. The aim of this project is to create a pack that is, reliable (I mean, it's kinda in the name). Ol' Reliable has many mods that are great utilities for those who enjoy a chill single-player experience. Or create havoc, it's up to you. Currently, I have this project in versions between 1.21.5 and 1.18.1-ish, but I am working on getting more versions out.
So what does this thing have?
Great question, if you asked lol! This Modpack has a bunch of mods that are user-friendly to builders like: Litematica, Freecam, Iris, and WorldEdit. Also if you like quality-of-life features, I have that too! For example: Shulker Box Tooltip, Voice Chat, Fast IP Ping, Gamma/Fullbright, Dynamic FPS, and a bunch of other stuff! I know a lot of ppl are into PvP based packs, so I might sprinkle in some mods that help with that when I release v2.0 but it's up to you guys!
So what versions are getting support?
Fabric
As of now fabric will be my top priority for the most part, with it's versions spanning between 1.18.2 and whatever the most recent one might be! If I'm taking a while to update to the newest version it's likely that one of the mods in the pack is still in development. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO GO OUT AND COMMENT ON ONE OF THE DEV'S DISCORDS ASKING THEM WHEN THEY WILL RELEASE THE VERSION!!! The devs have lives so please respect that! I usually try to keep up with the mods but even I have a life too, at least i think.
NeoForge
Also my other priority is NeoForge which will have versions 1.21.1+ but support will be spotty.
Forge
The will be "some" support for Forge, depending how you look at it. There will be Forge support with shaders for 1.20.1 and some 1.19 versions supporting shaders. Versions after 1.20.1 will not be supported though.
Ok WAIT Before you download! Read this!
I have indeed heard about the controversy about the Essential Mod! This pack does NOT have Essential! If you prefer to use the mod for whatever reason: I DO NOT JUDGE! Then check out the Original Version of the pack, with Essential here: Ol' Reliable
Having Issues? Or an idea for the pack!
Check out my GitHub repository and write in the issues tab! Even if it's not an issue!
Also not related to the above BUT: This is'nt the most "Fair-Play Friendly" Modpack because of Xaero's Minimap and Freecam and such. So I am not responsible if you get banned off a server because of this pack, be sure to read the servers opinion on these mods before playing for the best experience!
Anyhow! That's it for now! Enjoy the Reliable Experience lol.
