LANified!

Hey guys, I am wondering if there are any mods you would recommend as must haves, or any that we can run on the server.
Also any texture packs you really like?

I take it you mean client-side mods? I know there are plenty of skin packs out there, some are pretty delicious. I use stock myself because I'm just a nerd baller, but whatever.

The only mod I use right now is OptiFine, which gives you more video options to help you increase your FPS or fix video problems, among other things. If you plan on trying out lots of different mods, I recommend using Magic Launcher instead of the normal one, because it allows you to install mods much easier than doing it manually.

As for texture packs, I just use the default for now because I haven't really found one I like much more than the default one.
