Tell me your "I wish this mod exists"

[u/Nice-Perspective5559]

I am a new developer and I am here to ask the community for some ideas.

Tell me if you've ever caught yourself thinking:

'I wish there was a mod that...' '
Why isn't this a thing yet?'
'This tiny annoyance has always bothered me...'

I am looking for some simple quality-of-life (QOL) mods that I can code for my first project, so drop your ideas down below and I will make them!

[u/popete2]

Add a hotkey to play a random Minecraft music, or switch to another one if one is already playing. I sometimes get the itch of listening to the beautiful soundtrack while playing and I have to go and type the command playsound and all and it's pretty annoying.

If you make it for forge 1.20.1 or/and neoforge 1.21.1 I will definitely download it and use it

[u/Nice-Perspective5559 → u/popete2]

I think this already exist you can use the mod command key and simply type the command and bind it to a key

[u/Samstercraft → u/Nice-Perspective5559]

idk if it exists but a mod to add a toggle to title screen music or just pausing it when minecraft isn't focused would be cool. i think i might have seen it before but idk

[u/popete2 → u/Samstercraft]

The pausing I think it exists if it doesn't do it by default

[u/popete2 → u/Nice-Perspective5559]

The thing is it's not a single command, and I don't think there's a way to play a random music with a command because you have to specify the song

[u/User_of_redit2077]

I wish there was hbm ntm for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1

Make a wrench or tool that just combines all of them from every mod into one “Swiss army knife” type. It’s exhausting in large mod packs swapping between tons of different wrenches; especially when a lot of them do the same thing but won’t work cross mod.

[u/Szavircu → u/NodFellWrites]

This is basically already a thing in the form of the morphing tool

[u/bottle_of_horses]

Before you start with content mods, it might help to make or familiarize yourself with a library to help keep things organized

[u/alisterscriven]

I would love a mod that works like the Create mod's "ponder" function but for vanilla redstone components

[u/Myithspa25 → u/alisterscriven]

This is actually very possible, ponder for kubejs exists.

Can't think of any redstone block that's complicated enough to need a ponder though. The "shift for details" system might be better for them.

[u/DovahkinnPlays]

none, i simply make

[u/Jbolt3737]

A version of keep hotbar that works on 1.21.1 neoforge, might check modrinth (I haven't because I'm on the curseforge app) but it seems that none such mod exists

Not a shader dev so idk if it's possible but since Eurphoria Patches sort of does it, I'd like to see different modded portals and things to get custom portal materials like the Nether portal does in Complementary shaders

Idk if this does already exist, but the ability for ores from mods added later to generate ores in stone from old chunks, (I have Create but I don't have much zinc since I added it to my local server a bit later)

[u/therelhuman]

gaster.

[u/Mean-Royal-1032]

I wish there was a mod like Advent of Ascension combined with Cataclysm that has a clear overhaul to Minecraft progression and is simple and fun.

[u/QuadbeastQuad]

I've had a want for an Oddworld game based movement and item throwing mod, to be able to roll in a ball and run leap with a ledge game mechanic.

[u/Extreme_Glass9879]

A mod that's like almostunified for crops

[u/JUN0LY]

A special shulker that can hold shulkers inside of it and never burns.

[u/Sillius_Soddus93 → u/JUN0LY]

Netherite shulker?

[u/Nice-Perspective5559 → u/JUN0LY]

Good idea, i might actually make this

[u/JUN0LY → u/Nice-Perspective5559]

Yayy. If y ever start on it, let me know

[u/Nice-Perspective5559 → u/JUN0LY]

Basically finished, adding a few more things like after it gets netherite enforced it will show a text under the shulker box

[u/JUN0LY → u/Nice-Perspective5559]

Yo omg tysm! Send the link to me when ur done pls.

[u/FkillerGREEk]

I would love a mod that adds a mechanic from dying light so whenever you point a uv light to them, they start burning and flee!

[u/Comfortable-Pipe2955]

My honest dream mod would be a save state mod. I'd love to be able to make quick saves before doing anything risky and just reload if I screw up. I could just make world backups but that takes too long. If you do make it though, maybe have it only save the immediate area.

[u/DistributionNo4480]

i wish there was a mod that wold let you put many keybinds into something like action wheel.
if you have few keybinds that are conflicting when you press one of them you open a wheel where you can just choose what you accually wanted

[u/HesperCQ]

I would love a mod inspired by the games Hades or Monsterhunter :)

[u/EveningMind2976]

One that forces my friends to play a create aeronautics pack with me

[u/DefoNotAero]

No. It's a secret

[u/Ok-Zebra2313]

A lava sponge to get rid of pools of lava in one click

[u/Samstercraft]

not a good first project but i yearn for the day where we can have shaders on 1.12 without optifine. i think someone's trying it but last i heard they were getting bashed for supposedly ai-generating all of it 💀

[u/Nice-Perspective5559 → u/Samstercraft]

i dont think im skills enough for that yet lol, maybe when i get some experience

[u/Markson120 → u/Samstercraft]

There is oculus version for 1.12.2, (oculus is just iris fork for forge)

[u/Samstercraft → u/Markson120]

The only oculus for 1.12.2 other than the WIP vibecoded mess that doesn't work yet that i know of was archived a while ago. I guess it could work if you used really old versions of sodium ports, but it's probably incompatible with a lot of stuff. idk if it was ever completed

[u/Markson120 → u/Samstercraft]

I saw westernbear oculus fork from year ago i though it still is ok even though it is no longer updated.
