Top 20 FORGE Mods of the Month for Minecraft! | January 2023 | 1.18, 1.19+

This list covers 20 of what I think were the best mods released over the past month. With it being the holidays, it was probably a slightly quieter month than usual. But there were still some great releases. I'll be coming back soon with Fabric mods, Texture Packs, and Data Packs.

⁉ What is this series?
This is Forge Mods of the Month! Each month, I'll cover the newest and most interesting mods released for the Forge mod loader. They aren't version specific either, as lots of people are still hanging around on 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, etc. The list will cover mods released in the previous month.
⁉ Explain the Mod Versions?
At the beginning of a showcase, I'll show what versions it's available for in a small graphic. If it shows Minecraft 1.19.X, then it means that the mod is available for multiple versions of Minecraft 1.19. I'll only do this for the latest version of Minecraft, referring to the final version for previous, such as 1.18.2 and 1.16.5.
⁉ What are the Shaders?
I'm using Complementary Shaders. Inside the Shader Options is how I achieve the depth of field effects. No special settings are chosen; it's just on the High preset.

[@SweetyDev]

Thanks for showcasing Spelunking Bags ! (Also wanted to say that the Sword of the Depths will give you a strength effect according to your altitude, turning you stronger underground, that's why it's displayed, I'll maybe explain it better on the modpage wiki xD)

[@ultranovva]

Might be useful for mob farms

[@Tecohg]

why is no one talking about the fact that his voice is ai generated

[@LuckyBenjamin_]

Because I didn't know

[@Atrexiaa]

Guh huh?

[@ArkanReacher]

i didnt know that what

[@threshold9700]

I think it is a robot voice but it just seems advanced enough to almost perfectly replicate a human. It even sounds like he takes a breath at 8:03

[@willow_]

I thought I was the only one for a sec lol, it's so obvious

[@jacobcone5945]

Video quality is incredible. Would love to play a fantasy medieval modpack you throw together!

[@KristoferYee]

Thank you for putting the versions supported on screen when talking about a Mod. I don't know why other MC creators don't do this but you're goated

[@ze_glitchy_gamer7629]

The way he says "katana" hurts my soul

[@kingutaiga3518]

Same man

[@misterdayne2792]

I am amazed at how new this channel is, compared to your size, but every subscriber is thoroughly earned!
Your production quality is off the scales, from the little clips showing the essentials, to the little info board that pops up, and even your voice over.
I can't wait for the next video

[@thoronsteelhyde8500]

Your mod compilations and the well-designed composition of your videos has earned my subscription. Thank you for including a chronological list of mods AND also clarifying which mods are Forge/Fabric! Too many mod showcasers simply include a big list, only for you to be disappointed when you find the mods aren't compatible with your loader. It saves a lot of trouble!

[@sleepydog9968]

wonderful taste in thumbnails, editing, and cinematics! quality voiceovers & choice of mods!

[@enderemp]

Nice video! I loved the different combinations of mods that you displayed!

[@grandmasteryoda6717]

4:54 someone brought it back! fantastic! i was looking forward to this.

[@vvv9224]

Amazing to have the versions listed!! Other youtubers dont do that

[@RyanDxxx0]

I honestly just checked this out to see the new mods, and saw my mod showcased, thank you so much, I do plan on updating it again soon but mostly been dabbling into making other mods but I thank you so much.

[@tolusonemineraft1657]

Great video. Thks 4 showcasting new and cuality mods.

[@MarbledNull]

Awesome video! Thanks for showcasing my mod! :]

[@DUBSkyLinEx3]

AI voice generation has gotten so damn good

[@oxo1718]

wait wha-

[@diabeats_]

im angry that i can't tell if this is a joke or not

[@Cubicstudios]

@@diabeats_ you can hear the distorted audio artifact that's present in most ai generated voices, the longer you actively listen to it the more obvious it'll become

[@GimmeMyHandleBack]

Was looking for a comment about this. Saw nothing in the description

[@cotheturtle2748]

@@Cubicstudios and the way he says katana around 9:08

[@Lucyfer_E.]

bro your content is amazing, in quality, entertainment everything, bro i could have sworn you had thousands of videos already, i even entered your channel to look at more, please keep on going your are amazing ^^
oh yeah btw how do you make your character blink ;w;?

[@nestorpangadlo962]

I love you minecraft guides 😂

[@Nightfall.]

fantastic production!!!

[@Xeno_0o]

The voice effect makes me think this is some crazy advanced AI channel, lol
Great videos!!!

[@OMGREALDUMMYFROMDVN]

This popped up when I was making mod that adds stuff you can use for a map where you actually can work

[@Nootathotep]

"vanilla+" seems to usually to mean "I haven't thought through how this should affect progression"

[@yuyuko8925]

"acktshually it's up to the modpack devs to balance the mods!"
the modpack devs: leaving the mod configs and tweakers mostly untouched then calling their pack Minecraft 2 or something

[@Nootathotep]

@@yuyuko8925 but also vanilla doesn't usually just drop whole new mechanics in with no context. Looking at dispenser-based autocrafting for example

[@gusgarrison9211]

@@yuyuko8925 Worse yet: many mods don't bother putting balance settings in config, requiring modpack devs to create datapacks to patch out undesired mechanics.

[@blockwearingman]

wtf

[@blockwearingman]

wtfff

[@malachikearns5016]

Great Vids! If you could, you should make a video for versions 1.18-1.19 for fabric. Aldo thanks because I added some of your previous features to a modpack that I'm creating, so thanks!

[@blockwearingman]

fabric has nothing

[@ronniekong1295]

love the video keep up the good work!☺

[@HolyCrossed]

Alex's armoury is a great mod and I'm glad you reviewed it, only 2 youtubers I know reviewed this mod, and + better combat the mod really shines. I've been looking for an Alex's Armoury review because I don't know how to craft hardened-leather someone tell me

[@Unpug]

Great choices!

[@sashachacka7164]

Cool video, cool skin, subscribed

[@arck4453]

8:38 omg I'm looking for a mod like this for ages, I always thought Minecraft ocean wasn't deep enough to combine with Scuba Gear or Submarine mods

[@trix_ium4743]

Cool vid !

[@jordanwilson6607]

I feel like this guy deserves more subs. Cuz these videos are really well made and helpful!

[@LuckyBenjamin_]

He only has 5 video's so ig thats why

[@tonytigur4489]

Go watch @PwrDown - the original format

[@C0ASTEDITS]

Awesome mods

[@GarethMcD-zq8ei]

It be awesome if you showcased the war of the worlds mod, it's truly underrated 😖

[@daniellawlor6210]

You deserve 100k subscribers the editing and your video are interesting too

[@Noname38044]

thx for this

[@crimsonfox87fluxule62]

The text to speech that these people are using is getting really good.
Some words aren't translated through properly though like saying kaTANa instead of katANA.
The second pronunciation being the correct one.
Also the artificial breathing that sounds like you just got done with a 4 mile run.

[@arkimedeez]

Yo it's swashbucklers!! Gg Hal

[@victorlloyd6529]

Fantastic

[@bruhframe5604]

Can you review enemy expansion?

[@purplehatter550]

Imagine if Reimplemented Additions added the old Red Dragons that were scrapped when Notch was still in charge

[@OBIONEBARRONI]

Whats up Ani ReCapped guy!

[@Mr.Kurly1379]

Ayo dis slaps!

[@leamsimada4421]

[@ChairZomg]

[@emiletonos3873]

Could u make a fabric guide tol please?

[@applecz9967]

could I ask for a video where there would be modifications for servers? I mean servers that are not for mods, but maybe the minimap works. (I don't know how to write it better.)

[@fundraw.]

what is your sheader please ?

[@DanDeMan_]

i was wondering why dont u use your website for the download links ?? if you dont have time to create the posts i can help u

[@poopman6944]

[@arjunas9001]

Marbled arsenal & spelunking bags were made with mcreator-the best no code mod maker

[@ettoretaliani3329]

hii, do u know how to add marbled arsenal in aternos server? i can't find it on the aternos mod list

[@SweetyDev]

[@jcraft2805]

9:03 How can I get Soaked Leather?, I tried throwing leather into water, into a cauldron filled with water, leaving it in the rain and inside a waterlogged tanning rack but none of these methods worked.

[@TalkfastHood]

Capybara : masbrooo!

[@aigamiyu4869]

do shipwrecks still exist in unwrecked ships mod?

[@LuckyBenjamin_]

The Wasp and Capybara mods are cool but do they really deserve a place in the top 20?

[@duckjr572]

i must say you got a juicy mic

[@pedromarianofosterjardewes6361]

the armor that appears at 0:38 is from which mod?

[@cheese9144]

[@Cubicstudios]

Why do you ai generate the speaker voice?

[@blacknote6945]

[@AngeloDezin]

Great video! Keep up the good work! You can make the same video, but with mods on Fabric and version 1.18, 1.19 please.

Hello i have a question Google Play cita bailable there

[@johnnypicturesboy7717]

Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing with me
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole
The sunlight will not reach this low
Deep, deep in the mine
Never seen the blue moon glow
Dwarves won't fly so high
Fill a glass and down some mead!
Stuff your bellies at the feast!
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep
Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb
The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath
We can never dig too deep
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole...
