At Orc's World, modifications (mods) are an important aspect of the Minecraft experience, allowing players to improve their performance, visuals, and gameplay. However, to ensure that all players have a fair and enjoyable experience, we have established a clear and strict modification policy. This guide will help you understand which mods are allowed and which ones are prohibited.
WARNING: Before using any modification, please be aware that all mods are used at your own risk. While we list several approved mods below, we cannot review every version of every mod, so we cannot guarantee that all mods comply with our server rules. If you're unsure about a specific mod, we highly recommend checking with us. Always make sure to download mods from trusted sources such as the creator's official website, GitHub, or reputable platforms like YouTube. Unofficial or third-party downloads may introduce bugs, unwanted features, or even harmful content such as viruses or malware.
What Mods Are Allowed?
Here’s a breakdown of modifications that are permitted on Orc’s World, ensuring a fair and balanced experience for everyone:
1. Client Performance Improvement Mods
Mods that focus solely on improving the performance of the Minecraft client without altering gameplay are allowed. These mods can improve FPS, optimize resource usage, or enhance how the game runs without changing the mechanics of gameplay.
Examples:
- OptiFine
- Sodium
- Lithium
- Starlight
- Krypton
- Iris

2. Brightness & Gamma Adjustment Mods
Mods that allow you to adjust the brightness or gamma settings in the game to make it easier to see in dark areas are allowed. These mods are purely visual adjustments.
Examples:
- Fullbright

3. Cosmetic HUD Mods
Mods that customize or add elements to the HUD (Heads-Up Display), but without providing extra information that would otherwise be inaccessible to the player, are allowed. These mods improve usability but don’t alter the core mechanics of the game.

- Lunar Client
- Outlined Ore Resource Packs
What Mods Are Disallowed?

2. Mods That Alter Client-Server Communication
Mods that interfere with the way the Minecraft client communicates with the server, or that give players unfair information about the server, are prohibited.
Examples:
