A modpack designed specifically for Hypixel SkyBlock on modern versions.
Goodbye, 1.8.9, you will be missed...
The SBModernized mod-pack will be developed over time to be optimized, pretty, and modifiable. At the moment, SBModernized is just a set of several great mods with preset default configs. However, to get this modpack into a finished state I will be adding custom features to make customization quick and easy, but that's coming in the future.
This modpack is intended to be out-of-box play, but here I'll have helpful tips and potential issues you may run into.
- Memory:
- [Minimum] 6 GB RAM (3 GB Allocated)
- [Recommended] 12 GB RAM (6 GB Allocated)
- Storage: 1 GB available storage
- Like any other Modrinth modpack, simply open this modpack page in the Modrinth App and install your desired version.
- Before starting the game, open the Settings (gear icon), click Java and Memory, and set a custom amount of allocated memory, or use the recommended settings below. Be sure to not set it too high, this can lead to performance issues.
- 2560 MB Minimum Allocated
- 6-8 GB RAM: 3 GB Allocated
- 12-16 GB RAM: 6 GB Allocated
- 24-32 GB RAM: 8 GB Allocated
- You can also set a custom window size or set fullscreen if desired, then start the game.
- Also, importantly, you should go to
Options > Resource Packsthen clickDoneto be sure all the resource packs load properly. - You can change some settings before starting, but to change certain settings involving UI for mods like BetterF3, Skyblocker, SkyHanni, etc. you must join Hypixel SkyBlock.
Now you should be ready to just play! If you are playing in a resolution other than 1920x1080 you can change the UI as you go, referring to the below tips if needed.
It's recommended that you keep all the packs as-is, but here are the purposes of some of the packs.
- FurfSky Reborn is highly recommended. FurfSky is one of the best SkyBlock item resource packs with textures for almost every custom item in SkyBlock.
- Leaves Plus is for more pretty leaves. This is well optimized but you may disable if it isn't your cup of tea.
- Crops 3D and Crops & Foliage Variations is for prettier crops. May have a minor performance hit on the garden or farm, but seem to be optimized for most systems.
- FreshAnimations is for more lively mob animations. Pretty well optimized and should work fine in most appears, this is purely preference.
- Detailed Animations has beautiful player animations, which also apply to NPCs and some enemies. Not as optimized as other packs, but should run well for most.
- No Enchant Glint can be used for removing the enchant glint.
- Serified Font is another preference thing. Has no noticeable performance impact and looks perfect in a majority of UIs, and in some cases simply looks better than Vanilla font.
Try to keep the resource packs in their default order.
Resolution
Because SBModernized was made for 1920x1080 monitors and optimized for my mid-level PC, other resolutions and PCs may need many changes to the HUD and graphics settings.
There will be screenshots of different areas of the game with notes on which parts of the HUD are from what mods.
Shaders
They work with a good PC; not high-end level but better than most.
If the shaders don't run well for you, I recommend primarily playing with them off, then toggling the shaders with K when you want some nicer scenery while Fishing, Foraging, or Hunting.
Clouds
For optimization, clouds are disabled on all the default shaders and we instead use Better Clouds, which still look good without being taxing on performance.
Sound Physics
One included mod, Sound Physics, will not be for everyone. Set Friendly Mob and Hostile Mob sounds to 40%, then disable Sound Physics if you don't like the audio (you can do this in the config or in the modrinth content menu).
SkyHanni: Use key Backslash in-game to modify some of the hud. This will likely need lots of editing if you use a resolution other than 1920x1080. It's UI includes the Custom Scoreboard, Sacks value display, location pathing, and more.
SkyBlocker: Use command /widget to modify SkyBlocker's Tablist widgets and some of its hud. Also /skyblocker for several other options, including /skyblocker bars for customizing the bars above the hotbar.
SkyCubed: Use command /skycubed to access SkyCubed's settings. You can also drag its map and info display (box with current time) by opening chat.
Common Keybinds: Go to Options > Controls > Key Binds then use the search bar to find specific binds or browse all.
SkyBlocker Shortcuts: Use command /skyblocker shortcuts then scroll down to change any keybinds you wish to, including adding or removing any (note: press 'Esc' after setting any keybind).
Below are some notable keybinds (_all command binds are in SkyBlocker).
- M: Open Map (Skycubed)
- Left Alt (hold): Show tab secondary view (Skyblocker)
- H: Bags Menu
/bags - C: Equipment Menu
/equipment - B: Booster Cookie Menu
/boostercookie - U: Wardrobe Menu
/wardrobe - I: Storage Menu
/storage - P: Pets Menu
/pets - Numpad 0: Warp Menu
/warp - Numpad Period: Warp to Hub
/hub
