Top 20 Minecraft Forge 1.18.1 Mods of the Month!

Hey guys, this video is going to take a look  at some of the best mods released over the   past month, for those of you playing on Forge for  Minecraft 1.18.1. There’s some great mods here,   and as always, you can find the links to  download them in the description below.  

I also want to quickly mention that Tinkers  Construct has been updated to this version too. With Enchanting Overhauled installed, you’ll start  to find Library Ruins spawning in your world.   These contain Chests, which have Enchanting  related items, like Bottles of Enchanting,  

Enchanted Books and some new Tomes, which  come with the mod. Inside an Enchanting Table,   the interface has changed slightly, and there’s  also a reroll button, so that you can spend   your experience on rerolling for something more  worthwhile. There’s also a slot for your Tomes,  

And these can be applied to your  items as many times as you’d like,   they aren’t restricted to a one time  use like regular Enchanted Books are,   but you can still apply regular  Enchanted Books here too. Patina Pipeworks makes a great decoration mod, but  is also functional too when it comes to Farming.  

To start, you’ll need to craft a Copper Pipe Base,  some Copper Pipes and a Copper Valve, and start   connecting them together in a pattern you like.  When you place a Cauldron filled with Water next   to the Copper Pipe Base, it will flow through the  Pipes, either when you turn the Valve, or manually  

Open the Pipes yourself. The water will hydrate  farmland blocks, and provide a growth boost in   a 3 by 3 area. You can also use Redstone instead  of a Valve, so that you can automate the process. Neon Craft 2 will allow you to create some  neon lettering, with arrows and numbers also  

Being available. You’ll need lots of Neon Tubes  and Glass Sticks in the recipes, so you should   collect a lot of Glass, Iron Nuggets and Blaze  Powder. You’ll only create the neon items in   white at first, but you can later use different  colored dyes on them to change the color.

Another expansion has been released for Awesome  Dungeons, with this one being themed around the   Nether. You’ll find locations like the Obsidian  Palace, Tower Blaze, Giant Crimson Tree, Obsidian   House and more. A lot of these locations contain  Blaze too, which might eliminate the process of  

Looking for a Nether Fortress. Some of the best  loot you’ll find might be Emerald, Diamond and   Gold Blocks, but there’s also Barrels scattered  around these dungeons containing loot too. The Fireball Launcher is a new weapon which  can be crafted from a Red Dye, Glass Pane,  

String, Flint and Steel, 2 Iron Ingots and an  Iron Block. It uses Fireballs as ammunition,   and they can be fired pretty quickly to  cause explosions and set blocks on fire. You can turn an unemployed Villager into a  Redstone Villager, by having them interact  

With a Target Block. They’ll then be able  to trade items like Redstone Torches,   Iron Trapdoors, Daylight  Sensors, Pistons and more. Extra Arrows adds some interesting  Arrows, like the Vexing Arrow,   which is able to phase through walls. If you  fire an Ender Arrow, then you’ll teleport with  

It. Torch Arrows and Lightning Arrows will both  summon Arrows and Lightning respectively. You can   use the Padded Arrows for practice, as they’re  covered in wool so it will deal no damage,   and will fall from walls. There’s also Explosive,  Slime and Tracking Arrows. And each arrow has a  

Tier, ranging from Flint to Netherite, which  determines the amount of damage they deal. One of the first items introduced  with Snowy Spirit is the Sled,   which gives a new way to travel on land, and are  much better for traveling down slopes and on ice.  

But if you tame a Wolf, then you can  attach it to the Sled with a Leash,   which increases the speed and control of Sleds.  You can place Carpets on a Sled for decoration.   If you’re in Winter, or using a mod like Serene  Seasons, then the AI of Villagers will change,  

So that they can place down festive blocks like  Wreaths, or children will throw Snowballs. Other   blocks included with the mod are Gingerbread,  Glowing Lights, Candy Cane Blocks and Snow Globes. Cookietology is all about creating your own  Cookies, and to start, you should create  

A Butterator, and place a Fan on top of it.  When you place Milk inside, it will be turned   into Soft Butter, one of the most important  ingredients. You can then place Soft Butter,   Flour, an Egg and Sugar into a Mixing Bowl to turn  it into a dough, and your dough has Brilliance and  

Thickness values, which determines the saturation  and nutrition. Place the dough inside a Cookie   Mold, place it in the Baker alongside some  Cocoa Beans, and you’ve made your own Cookies. With this mod, you can craft a Fire Extinguisher,  which is pretty efficient at putting out fires  

Quickly. It can also be placed down, so that you  have quick access to it, and it also looks great   as a decoration object. There’s also a Fire  Axe, which can be used to put fires out too.   If you wear the full Fire set of armor, then  you’ll be completely immune to fire damage,  

But you’ll be slowed. There’s a few  other items that work with roleplaying,   like Fire Extinguisher signs, and Fire Exit signs. One of my favorite mods from Minecraft 1.12  is the Open Glider Mod. With this Glider mod,   it feels a lot like that mod. You  can craft the Glider using Wool,  

Sticks and Slabs, and use it to descend  from great heights without taking damage. This mod introduces the High-Intensity  Flares, from the Deep Rock Galactic game.   You’ll start with 4 Flares, and they  can be thrown by pressing the V key by   default. Overtime, their brightness  will fade, with them lasting around  

50 seconds by default. They have some  really cool sounds and animations too. You might come across Quicksand with this mod  installed, when exploring locations like Deserts   or Beaches. It’s quite hard to notice,  as the texture doesn’t differ too much,  

And if you end up being suffocated by it,  then you’ll take damage. You can walk over   it by wearing Leather Boots, and it can be  picked up in Buckets and placed down again. Human Companions adds some new characters, who  you can find naturally spawning in your world.  

If you give them food, you can recruit them,  and they’ll be either Knights or Archers.   If you right click them, you can open  their inventory and make them carry items,   or just give them some better armor and weapons,  

As long as it fits their class. They’ll equip the  best items they’re carrying. Like Wolves, they’ll   follow you around, and can be told to wait at a  location, and they’ll also attack your enemies. Unusual Fish will add lots of creatures into  Minecraft, which includes Squids, Starfish,  

Freshwater Mantis, Jellyfish, Lobsters and more.  They can be collected in Buckets, but it seems   a few textures are missing right now, and the  developer is looking for texture artists to help.   A lot of the mobs don’t drop items yet either,  which is supposedly coming in a future update,  

But it’s still going to help  with any aquarium type builds. Eco Spherical Expansion adds more biomes  into Minecraft, which look pretty impressive   and unique, as they’re a lot different from  what you’d normally see in the vanilla game.  

No new blocks are added, as the mod uses ones  that already exist, and a lot of the Biomes look   like they’re above surface versions of Caves.  You can come across Biomes like Lush Forests,   Deepslate Cliffs, Glacial Plains,  Mega Swamps, Mushroom Groves and more.

This mod will eventually update a lot of  Minecrafts Biomes, but in its current version,   it focuses on the Beach Biome. There, you can find  Seashells spawning on the ground, and these can be   turned into Sand Castles, which will hide Turtle  Eggs from Zombies when placed on top of them.  

There’s Coconut Trees too, which give a new  Wood Type. Coconuts can fall out of trees,   giving you some food, but they can also  turn into Coconut Crabs, which are hostile.   They drop Crab Claws, which can be turned  into a Tropical Stew alongside Coconut Slices.

Revamped Phantoms brings some interesting changes.  Firstly, a Phantom will now pick up their prey,   carry them into the sky and drop them from  quite high up, so that they die when they hit   the ground. They’ll also target Villagers and  livestock in addition to players from now on.  

They have a new ability, where  they can stun you with their call,   which makes it harder to attack them,  as the camera moves like it’s in   cinematic mode. And even if you’re well rested,  you might find Phantoms spawning naturally.

Eating Animations, which was a Fabric mod,  has been ported over to Forge. When you   eat different food items, you’ll see that they  slowly get consumed over time, instead of just   disappearing in your hand. There’s lots of items  supported, and it looks a lot more immersive.

Hardcore Torches is going to make lighting  up your world harder. From now on,   both Torches and Lanterns have fuel, and will  burn out over time. When you craft a Lantern,   it will be unlit, and will need to be provided  with Oil from a Can, which uses Animal Fat,  

And then you need to use a Flint and Steel to  ignite it. If you leave a Torch out in the rain,   then it can go out too. There’s some  extra settings you can choose, such   as whether Torches should be crafted unlit, and  whether they should use fuel in your inventory.

That covers some more Forge mods from the  past month. There was quite a few releases,   but some that I liked the look  of where throwing errors out,   so hopefully I get to mention them  sometime soon.
