Description from the author on Modrinth

The Builder's Essentials modpack includes all the most important mods for builders working in creative mode! Many mods have been pre-configured for the best experience!

SHOWCASE

INSTALLATION

1. Download a launcher (I recommend **Prism Launcher**)

2. Prism Launcher **(Tutorial)**

  • Click "Add Instance", select "Modrinth" on the left of the window, search "Builders Essentials" select and install!

3. (Optional)

  • I recommend allocating additional RAM for better performance. Go with 6-8GB of ram. (Don't allocate over half the ram you have available.)
  • You are able to add any additional mods you want yourself! If you have suggestions for additional mods, or need support, join the **Discord Server!**

How to install Builders Essentials

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20 – 26.x. The launcher you install it with sets that up for you.

  2. Download the .mrpack file from Modrinth.

  3. Open it with a launcher that reads .mrpack files, such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher: it makes a new instance with every mod and setting of the pack.

  4. Give the instance enough memory: most modpacks want 4 to 8 GB.

  5. To play it with friends on a server, use the server files of the modpack if its page offers them; otherwise install the same mods on the server.
