JAR CHANGELOG:

Expanded cross-platform compatibility to include the final remaining loaders and server environments.

-
Added Mod Loaders: Rift, LiteLoader, Risugami's ModLoader

-
Added Servers: Sponge

The project has now officially marked and covered every single platform in the Modrinth compatibility matrix.

RESOURCE PACK CHANGELOG:

Warning - from version 1.21.6 to 26.1.2 you will get a warning about incompatibility. Ignore that, on "Are you sure you want to load this pack?" click "Yes" and it just works!

On version 26.2 it does not show this red thing, it will work fine.

If you try to load the Resource Pack on any earlier version than 1.21.6 the pack will just not appear in the menu. It is possible to add support for earlier versions, but these are fine for now.

What it does to your game: Replaces the splash text on main menu with "Literally Nothing!"

SHADER CHANGELOG:

Works on: Optifine, Iris Shaders and Canvas Renderer

Version: 1.7.10 - 26.2

Before that: 1.0.1 (Sep 6, 2026), 1.0.0 (Sep 6, 2026).

The definition of maximum compatibility and zero functionality.

This mod does absolutely nothing and somehow works on pretty much everything. Old Minecraft versions? Yep. The newest snapshots? Also yes. Forge, Fabric, Quilt, Spigot, Paper, random server software you've never heard of? Probably (or in 98% cases) works too! It uses 0 MB RAM and can't break your game because there's literally nothing in it that could do that xD

Defining ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE

Open to see if we support your platform!! (we most likely do..)

When we say "everywhere"... DID YOU THINK WE LIED??? Well, check this Super Cool Nice Interesting chart below so we can prove that the mod supports EVERYTHING 😇😇😇

FAQ

Open this if you have ANY questions

This might help before you make an issue on GitHub or post a question on Reddit:

❓ Question · ✅ Answer
Is the .jar file completely empty? · Actually, no. To make this work at all, you need to create a metadata file (mods.toml, fabric.mod.json, plugins.yml, ...) for each platform so it knows the jar supports it. Also, the non-effort jokes are not true. It took me 20 hours to make the first version with 13 platforms even work! If you want to see what's inside the mod, open the jar with 7-Zip or something (I used WinRAR). If you see some .class files, DO NOT MAKE AN ISSUE! If you decompile it, you can see that the code does NOTHING, doesn't add any features, and doesn't change anything. Just letting you know :D
Help! It does not support everything! What about PumpkinMC/... ? · Sorry to hear that! But since there are more than 300 unique platforms, it is IMPOSSIBLE to add support to every single one of them ;( And don't call me a liar! When I say it runs everywhere, I mean on the most popular and less popular platforms that Modrinth supports. I literally ticked everything when Modrinth asked me which platforms I support. If you really miss a platform, make an issue on GitHub with the Platform Addition tag and count on being the one adding support. Also, first check if it's already supported. For example, PumpkinMC has an emulation layer called PatchBukkit, making Literally Nothing runnable on this platform.
Are these versions in the compatibility list real? · All of them. I manually had to research old archive versions to get this info. Also, I have a secret: some of them (maybe 3 or 4) aren't tested because there are just too many of them, but nobody would use them anyway, and if a bug is found, I'm fixing it immediately.
I'm a content creator and I do want to make a video about this.. · I would be happy about it! This mod definitely needs to get more popular. You can always put a link to this Modrinth project page below the video, and you can DM me on Discord if you have any questions about the mod.
This is ARR licensed, are u fuckin kidding me? · Yes..? We reserve ALL RIGHTS for the "nothing" xD We already had some guy mentioning this cuz he wanted to use my mod as a template. I did give him a licence to use it. If you also want to, make an issue on GitHub.
Modrinth says that this project was updated a longer time ago, is it still active? · Yes! And it will be. The update time only changes when I make a new release, which is unnecessary since I only tick another release/snapshot once it's out without actually changing the code. Even if I change the description, it stays frozen xD So it still gets updated, but the text only changes when I fix a bug or smth (upload a new release).
I made an issue on GitHub, when will you respond? · Don't want to lie to you, but it usually takes around 10 minutes to a day (max time; it's actually 30 minutes to an hour). First, I need to check my email, see that someone made an issue, read it, think about it, and type a response.

Hope this helped ^_^ If not, make an issue on GitHub or ask me on Discord :)

How to install Literally Nothing

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Literally Nothing in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
