I would say that if your laptop isn’t good at handling mods, add Sodium and Optifine, they have very similar functions, but they work fairly well together, and I was able to get my modpack with 257 mods running just fine on my laptop. (My laptop is also very slow, before I fiddled with Sodium and Optifine my singleplayer world was averaging about 1 fps.)
I noticed a few anomalies:
Botarium is an API for making tech mods, so unless you’re wanting to do that, then I’d remove it.
Cloth API is fabric, and Create is Forge, so they wouldn’t go together
Recommendations:
- The Maps have settings where you can turn off mobs and players, so you can just add it and make a rule that all players must turn it off. It’s not the best solution, but I feel like it’s worth it. You decide.
- Adding Simple Voice Chat - It’s easy to set up and grants some pretty easy communication.
- Adding JEI is probably my biggest suggestion out of all of these besides Sodium and Optifine, it makes life so easy to be able to tell what you need in order to craft stuff, especially if we’re using Create, which has some very complicated recipes.
- Some QOL mods that aren’t laggy are Better 3rd Person, More Mob Variants (simply adds new textures for mobs like chickens, pigs and cows), and Fresh Animations (the last is a resource pack that adds better animations for mobs)
