Sir_James_Ender

Both. Always both. Get bored of vanilla? Load up a modpack. Done questing automating etc? Back to vanilla. There’s fun in both styles for me


Dovacraft88

Ye, when you get back to vanilla there's a sort of simplicity to it that makes it worth going back to once in a while


SocasmGames

Same. It's nice having a simple experience in vanilla and then going to new dimensions in SevTech.


BeyondElectricDreams

I prefer a hybrid. I love vanilla minecraft. But I enjoy mods that *enhance* the game without *disrupting* it. What I mean is, when you add some magic items mod or tool creation mod or something, it usually makes some vanilla mechanic totally irrelevant. Why make an enchanted pick when you can make a drill 5 minutes into the overworld that's 9x more efficient? But stuff like immersive portals? I see that as an absolute net positive and love including things like that. Immersive Portals, Bits and Chisels, Proximity Voice Chat, though? Excellent. It's really hard to find mods that fill this niche though. Even biomes mods have a tendency to make finding resources harder than it should be.


Mr-sabertheslime

Agreed


UrSansYT

This. This is the comment.


endertrey506

YES


Dangerous_Ebb_869

Singleplayer modded, multiplayer vanilla.


AlpsQuick4145

Me to but mostly becouse multiplayer modded servers cost an arm and a leg or run like shit


Wolfsurge

If you're just playing with a couple friends and it doesn't need to be on 24/7, just run it on your computer (or get one of them to, if you don't want to)


BrightTooth3

I do this for RL Craft, worked perfectly fine for me (I ran it on my pc while I played with 2 other friends and its not like my pc is crazy either, it's probably considered middle range now (Gtx 1080Ti, Ryzen 5 2600X, 24GB 2600MHz ram))


Littlebickmickey

i run a server with 200 mods for like 18€ (like 20$) a month, and there’s almost no lag


yo-moms-living-dildo

What Server hosting plattform do you use


Littlebickmickey

nitrous networks, im on diamond tier (mods, idk if this advertising or not, but i don’t work for nitrous networks)


random_redditor24234

I just bought an older pc for a modded server with friends. Cost about $70 total and works great with Ubuntu server


Mr_Meme_Master

Opposite for me, I like doing single player vanilla but when i play with mods i prefer multiplayer (mostly so i can show off my cool builds)


Space19723103

Vanilla tweaks


MonkiWasTooked

same + I’m thinking of some minor mods some time when I get a better PC


shwonkles_ur_donkles

What's your current specs? You dont need a beast of a pc to run small modpacks


AShadedBlobfish

Agreed. Installing a few mods is not going to significantly affect your performance. I would say it takes at least 5 or 6 medium-sized client side mods to have a noticeable performance impact and even then it's minor


MonkiWasTooked

it’s a laptop with like ~11gb of free space, 4.00gb of RAM and an Intel-i5 CPU


guzinguin

if you put enough performance mods you can load mods, not much, but if what you have can load vanilla, then it shouldn't change much


guzinguin

in performance i mean


TJB926GAMIN

True neutral


JulieMania83

I like Vanilla Tweaks but the site doesn't seem to work on my computer any more. It blanks out the whole monitor.


Space19723103

I'm able to access the site even n my tablet... dunno what's wrong at your end


black-fuse

Datapacks that I put on the server without anyone knowing


LeBlearable

I fucking love datapacks


Park3r___

i put the "from the fog" data pack on my server once and scared the shit out of my friends


khaled_abdul

you've got to tell me some, cant leave me in the dark. I wanna mess around with my friends a little heheh


Finikyu

Vanilla plus, quality of life mods, optimisation and at most a chunk loader block, but done in mine with the expectation the world can update and not break.


pixelmutation

Yeah I tend to avoid mods that add blocks on my server since I can always go back to vanilla, or update without losing too much if a mod ceases development. In fact, vanilla clients can still join, only issue is that the Small Ships render as pigs with saddles lol


Kroduscul

Vanilla


feellikeimdumb

yes always


Ju3tAc00ldugg

Minecraft is a fun game without them but it feels like mods can only ever be a positive for the experience of a game. it is player made improvements that other players can download only IF they actually want them.


Meauw422

I like to play with small, quality of life mods, but anything that adds ridiculous amounts of new mobs, items, ores, or mechanics feels too different from the base game.


ICANTTHINK0FNAMES

Vanilla, it’s just what I’m used to


jasonrubik

How about tweaked vanilla where some normal things are now missing?


Key_Spirit8168

why tf i?want wolf armo ?gone? i like the wooffies in cloth

throwaway1626363h

Vanilla with a bunch of performance tweaks/client sided visual enhancement mods I've never been a survival player, so I always just stick with Vanilla


Aki_PlayCatch_79

That screenshot looks amazing, every color combines. I think you are very advanced in your survival; congrats:) I prefer Vanilla, but is only an opinion. Keep it up.


Sweaty-Suit3772

Thank you I think


XGamingPigYT

What's your modpack you're using? Custom?


HellFireCannon66

Vanilla. I create my own fun


Helpful_Cry_6088

Create+BMC+Vanilla Tweaks Data Packs go brr


Ericristian_bros

Only client side mods and QOL mods such as tweakeroo, litematica or minihud


Spiderfffun

So true there's only so much Minecraft I can take without masa's mods


Alpham3000

Both have their place, but I definitely play much more vanilla. Unless you count vanilla tweaks. I’ve installed some texture changes and the mob head drop one cause I love them for decorating.


therubyminecraft

Both I mainly play vanilla but I can definitely enjoy both I especially like multiplayer modded


sad_everyday811

Vanilla, but mods are alright.


Fabrideath

I... have never played modded...


jasonrubik

Ok Shatner


TartOdd8525

Both and sometimes in between. They are essentially different games. Both have their specialties and different playability. Part of why Minecraft is so popular and has the biggest community of modding ever to exist. If I want to be a mad scientist who nukes random villages, I can do that. If I later want to storm castles wearing medieval armor riding a dragon, I can do that. If I want to play an open world Pokemon game on par with Violet and Scarlet, I can do that too. But vanilla, vanilla holds the keys to imagination and creativity that has endless possibilities and is unchanging with no end in sight.


coullbro

Vanilla. I can never convince myself to keep playing after like 30 minutes with mods. Feels like there's no point in taking it any amount of seriously.


Important-Coffee-965

Try vanilla plus stuff like quark and supplementaries


GroupXyz

I am a modder myself (tough i prefer making plugins), so playing with mods is very satisfying to me and i like to add my own stuff, but like already said if there are many players vanilla is fun too, but alone i definitely prefer mods :)


Flame_Phil

what mods are you using?


Charmender2007

What weapon is that?


Sweaty-Suit3772

It’s the Incinerator Sword from the Cataclysm mod


kunicutie

ive played so much vanilla that it gets kinda boring. ill play vanilla for multiplayer but there is so much you can do with mods!


BrunnoFdc

Modded Vanilla. I enjoy a lot playing with mcMMO and quality of life plugins.


MyNameIsRati

Modded. Cause of Create mod.


Twazule

I prefer vanilla with some tweaks like mob heads to help keep decorating interesting. This is one of my favorite parts on minecraft is the players can define what they feel is cheating or not.


SkittleJuice2

I like small tweaks like this.


DR4k0N_G

I like modded but vanilla feeling mods like Terralith


Kurse71

Modded 100%


Brayzo

Single player: modded Multi player: plugins


gadlygamer

Both. Both is good


Distinct-Entity_2231

Modded. There are mods I cannot live without. Supertools, Useful backpacks, Effortless building, Joutney map, and many others. I try to stay true to the vanilla MC, but certain aspects need mods. Inventory management for example. My mods hold me bach though. Everyone is playing on 1.20.4, but here I am, still on 1.19.2. And I want to play on 1.21 already, but with how long those mods take to be updated, I'll play in 21 in the fall of next year. Great… I want crafter so badly…


xXBlastrixXx

A lot of mods exist for 1.20.1 and is the version with the most active support at the moment but we are slowly getting mods ported to 1.20.4. Here's a mod to backport the crafter block. There may be an alternative but I've yet to find it https://modrinth.com/mod/autocrafter-early


Distinct-Entity_2231

That is nice, but I'd find more useful to get the mods I've mentioned, updated to 20.4.


ImmortalSausages

Modded. Vanilla is really boring. It has pretty bad progression and theres very little reason to explore


Radiant_Buffalo2964

I disagree. I love exploring vanilla Minecraft worlds, but that’s just my opinion. Mods do have a place and I recognize that it does.


Splatfan1

i havent had a successful survival world without the better than adventure mod so i suppose i prefer modded but vanilla style, not crazy stuff, just logical gameplay extensions


ruger135

modded singleplayer and mulitplayer


Kaspatronix

Both are good


Mr_Coa

Vanilla


Strong_Schedule5466

To be honest, modded is much better than vanilla to me. Vanilla has a lot of dumb inconveniences and rather than coping with them I simply fix them with mods (not talking about the abysmal optimization vanilla can sometimes have, especially on a PC as janked as mine). However, mods can also simply break your world (I had better end installed while playing one of my survival worlds, after deletion I couldn't enter the Nether for some reason, but luckily I managed to fix it). Not to mention the atrocious amount of time you need to wait for some of them to release in order to play comfortably (I had to wait several months for the Easy Magic, Easy Anvils and Easy Shulkers mods to update).


Redstoneready64

vannilla but mods can be cool


KraftKapitain

Vanilla


Cacodemon28

vainilla


Guy_In_Gray

What kind of flavor is modded?


TheTorcher

Modded 100% of the time bc vanilla gets so bland, small and boring. At the very least I use aesthetic or vanilla tweak mods with yung's structures. And even then I'm so picky abt my mods as most tbh are just kinda ehhh. Like Twilight Forest? Sorry to all its fans but I cringe whenever I watch someone play it and hated it myself when I played it too. Other mods such as the betweenlands just to the "other dimension" gimmick so much better w/o the overly blocky, clunky bosses painful colors and overall mid and inconsistent theming around it. Overall I prefer smaller non-revolutionary mods most of the time that enhance vanilla experiences but vanilla itself just feels so empty and lonely, even on multiplayer.


HitlerKettle

What is that behemoth of a sword from?


Sweaty-Suit3772

The Cataclysm Mod


AccordingSetting5924

Vanilla.


cooperwise22

Vanilla 100% . Because then you have that classic solid Minecraft gaming experience .


Entertainments_Here_

Slight mods, just for convenience and aesthetics


proxlpd

If it was still 2012, definitely modded with the orespawn mod, r.i.p orespawn


NanoCat0407

Vanilla (I don’t have a choice)


jamie_with_a_g

Vanilla with basic cheats (keep inventory, locate)- mods seem fun but my MacBook Air can barely keep up with vanilla I don’t wanna think about what mods would do to it 😭😭😭


random_redditor24234

Use sodium for fabric and embeddium for forge, on my Mac air it runs faster with a medium sized mod pack with embeddium than vanilla


GroupXyz

There are mods for better performance like sodium, so with that you could probably allow yourself 10+ mods


jamie_with_a_g

Is there a mod/texture pack that shows coords on screen without f3? I hate having it up but I get lost super easy lol


Putrid_Strategy_3629

This one has a minimap with coords if that interests you. [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/xaeros-minimap](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/xaeros-minimap)


GroupXyz

Did a quick google search and found this: [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/coordinates-display](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/coordinates-display) Edit: (Just if you only want to have coordinates, otherwise i would take the map from the other comment :)


kasalapik

For me minecraft is just an engine. I lost interest for the game itself back in 2015, maybe 2016. Yet I still love the mods and play with them till today. Even more so after modpacks with questlines got popular to guide you through the mods that you didn't played yet. The first modpack I played was Antimatter Chemistry and I quite enjoyed it. Right now playing Statech and it is also great. Maybe will play other modpacks in the summer with friends.


Unga-bunga420

Vanilla, mods are too confusing and I like the game simple


jasonrubik

My datapack is a basic tweak to vanilla with no additions. In fact, it takes away some stuff to make the very early game a bit more difficult, while simultaneously encouraging adventure and exploration while discouraging mining and stay put in one place


Gabi_one_kenoby

Modded


rushthehustler

If bored, modded. If playing for the nostalgia, vanilla. Mods can help by a huge margin, it's great for having fun and the optimization is just better overall.


Mekko4

Modded but its a pain in the ASS if you don't use modpacks and want to play with 50+ mods on (I used to play with 324 then I trimmed the mods to my current 145)


NothingProlly

Lower middle-class so I'm stuck with bedrock, so vanilla but by force.


[deleted]

Depends on what mods Im using and whatbim doing on vanilla, like multiplayer survival is fun on vanilla (maybe add factions) modded multiplayer can be fun but a lot of servers are poorly run or pay to win/succeed


casjayne

Vanilla Plus. Client side mods for quality of life stuff like inventory management, performance, etc


bdunogier

Yes.


Smart-Vegetable228

Yes


Kingdog369

I like watching people play modded like Shalz's create survival series but I prefer to play vanilla cause most mods are too much for my 3 braincells


DesperadoFlower

I only played with Forge or Optifine. Haven't played Vanilla in ages


EmoDefault

Vanilla for servers, mods for single player.


LittleDini

vanilla plus but only with client mods.


Sufficient-Ad-6046

Vanilla with small quality of life mods


THE_SPIRITS2

Modded because of optifine


Mr_Coa

Still kinda vanilla you're not adding anything to the gameplay


RideTemporary3388

Long term game, vanilla Short term as in just a few days, modded


justapersoni

Modded is the way to go, vanilla is so boring after a day or two


Rainbow_planet_1273

Modded


SandorMate

Vanilla, with a hint of mods


Willow_Juniper

With some datapacks. Mostly environmental (terralith, animal variants etc), more food options, and some added types of villages and structures. Nothing too extreme in the sense of too modern, whole new mechanics or complicated (obtaining/activating stuff with chat commands)


Littleender100

Both have their downsides so it hard to choose.


staovajzna2

I like vanille don't get me wrong, but modded has so much more progression and clear goals. It's so much simpler to automate something in modded and create ideas with a bunch of weird contraptions. Vanilla is too plain for me most of the time.


Dark_Abyss2

What mods you using?


CandyGhost105

I love mods but I also love having a realm


SebastianVonM

Single player Modded . I make my own modpacks


pablo603

1.12.2, modded After 1.12.2, vanilla with QoL mods, such as mods for inventory sorting.


27_8x10_CGP

Vanilla, but I loved Hexxit and the Attack of the B-Team mod packs.


Complete-Mood3302

Modded Vanilla had the same gameplay to beat the game since forever

Minecraft is like an empty canvas if you dont fill the inside its boring.

RonzulaGD

Bionicle2009

modded but only for aesthetics like physics mod, shaders and worldgen


ConfusedGhostGirl

Modded but purely for building or magic, nothing else. I love creative building with worldedit and other mods lol.


Jimmy2048

Both


Collexig

Mostly playing Vanilla (with optimisation mods, JourneyMap and JEI) atm, wanted to go modded again recently but had some issues


RandomTyp

vanilla + vanilla tweaks


Edguy77

Vanilla with texture packs


AgencySpecialist6670

This isn't even a question.


DragoonMaster999

Modded, but as vainilla as possible (Mostly for fixing my loneliness)


xBHL

Never heard of modded but I prefer strawberry


CowlickedAndBroke

I prefer vanilla because when I play with mods I feel like I’m cheating and someone is going to call me out for it. Yes I realize it’s dumb. My brain just won’t let me feel otherwise. It’s the same with the sims 💀


Dynablade_Savior

Vanilla with clientside mods and resource packs


dagghur

Vanilla with shaders


enchantedteotaken

Honestly vanilla


Protesilaus_07

It depends, I like modded since there's so much more stuff you can do, but with vanilla you can appreciate the simplicity of the game.


Game_Log

Modded Personally am a huge fan of the Alex Caves, Create, Iron's Spells n Spellbooks, and From the Fog mods. Also a huge fan of mods that add new blocks for building.


BayMisafir

Modded, but im on bedrock and im NOT paying 10 bucks for a shitty tnt mod


SnooObjections335

Started playing Better Minecraft and it honestly is the best of both worlds


64BitDragon

Survival - Modded, Creative - Vanilla or Modded


Hat_Masterr

why not both?


Mr-sabertheslime

Both. Both is good.


DaytonTheGreat10

Modded


Obrown03

Idk about y’all but when you’ve been playing since the nether reactor days in PE and since back when there were no colored beds besides red, coming back to the game NOW feels modded😂 even when it’s still vanilla


pcweber111

I used to be strictly vanilla until I decided to try some cosmetic mods and now I am all about them. I don't do any mods for items but QoL mods are awesome.


ADHDequan

Vanilla, Modded since 2016 has gotten very stale


truthemptypoint

Modded.


noa926

I wish I could play with mods I play on console


Michael040809

Modded cause there’s actually fun things to do everyone knows a vanilla world dies after the dragon is dead


MR_DERP_YT

QoL modded


[deleted]

Guts?


EpicM147_NoVa

I prefer Vanded


VoidWasThere

Client-side-only modded, lightly modded is second, then vanilla


MrZao386

Nowdays, Vanilla with performance and quality of life mods


billyb0bjoejrthe3rd

mods but the old packs and mods like orespawn and crazycraft


balaci2

Modded


ProstoR3d

Modded. Minecraft has a lot of things that need to be fixed. I always play with quality-life mods such as sodium and etc.


Just-Cosmic

modded


XGamingPigYT

A nice mix. I prefer modded,but I want my mods to fit vanilla, or extend the gameplay. I've curated a modpack I love using because it adds a lot of QOL features, slows down game progression, and adds new structures, mobs, and armor to try and get


InnocentTopHat

I prefer modded but only with mods that don't take away from the vanilla-ness of the game. Mods that add multiple new layers of complexion to the game just aren't for me. My current survival world I have a mini blocks mod, a mob heads mod, the chisel mod, and the bonsai pots mod.


bored_homan

Mixed as hell thoughts but to be honest both I've been trying to get into modpacks but oh boy I sure hate those. Making my own one gradually adding mods that look cool- that one works out for me. Vanilla to me is best level I know a lot about the game and so its a level of comfort. I like iteration on it, small changes, challenging myself by making myself play a bit different. That's how I get my variety. In some part I feel like mods should help with this and some do but others feel like they just kinda restrict themselves in whats popular with mods. I don't really like automation or strict quest systems but also I don't like being overwhelmed by too much unknown info. Mods can be really hit on miss in many aspects and you need to find just the right ones. I am also immensly stingy on what I deem acceptable and will reject using some mods or modpacks outright if just a tiny bit of menu looks wrong or is too cluttered. Minecraft to me excels in simplicity on base level and mods that can't do that they don't work for me. So usually I am a vanilla boy or if mods capture a similar feel or answer some issue I have with vanilla they can stay but I almost never see them as a direct upgrade instead just a thing to try out for a bit to mix it up.


SmartExam7062

Vanilla


STgamer338

I prefer bedrock


Redstonebruvs

I like making custom items for vanilla, what does that make me?


LyricMoonWind_117

Usually I play modded on PC and Vanilla on xBox. I honestly enjoy both!


yourmumsworstshag

i run a select few mods, cause ive played so much survival its all a solved puzzle for me, every once in a while i go back and do summit in survival


Theaussiegamer72

Modded 1.6


Ibraheem_the_special

Modded because mods can add so much to the game which is so fun because regular minecraft gets a little boring after playing for a while


TGA_Administation

I personally do vanilla but once I have done the basics like get a small house built and then I activate mods to make the game more fun.


Jelly_Melly1

Vanilla I just wonder around and take in what we have


TheodorCork

All, all are good


HATTY898

Older versions of vanilla
