[ PROJECT DISCONTINUED ]
I've left Skyblock and don't plan on maintaining this modpack. The license is just a slightly modified MIT License, you can use this project however you like.
A modpack designed specifically for Hypixel SkyBlock on modern versions.
Goodbye, 1.8.9, you will be missed...
The SBModernized mod-pack has been developed over time to be optimized, pretty, and modifiable.

High Impact Resource-Packs: Detailed Animations, FA: Spiders, Furfsky Reborn
This modpack is intended to be out-of-box play, but here I'll have helpful tips and potential issues you may run into.
- Memory:
- [Minimum] 6 GB RAM (3 GB Allocated)
- [Recommended] 12 GB RAM (6 GB Allocated)
- Storage: 1 GB available storage
- Open this page in the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher and install your desired version of the pack.
- Set allocated memory to at least 2.5 GB, or use the recommended settings. Be sure to not set it too high and that third-party applications aren't taking too much of your memory (common culprits are browsers and Discord).
- Modrinth App:
Gear Icon > Java and Memory > Memory allocated - Prism Launcher:
Edit > Settings > Java > Memory - 2560 MB Minimum Allocated
- 6-8 GB RAM: 3 GB Allocated
- 12-16 GB RAM: 6 GB Allocated
- 24-32 GB RAM: 8 GB Allocated
- Modrinth App:
- You can also set a custom window size or set fullscreen if desired, then start the game.
- Before joining Hypixel, you should go to
Options > Resource Packs, optionally enabled/disable any you like or dislike, then clickDoneto be sure all the resource packs load properly. - You can change some settings before starting, but to change certain settings involving UI for mods like Skyblocker, SkyHanni, etc. you must join Hypixel SkyBlock.
Now you should be ready to just play! If you are playing in a resolution other than 1920x1080 you can change the UI as you go, referring to the below tips if needed.
It's recommended that you keep all the packs as-is, but here are the purposes of some of the packs.
- FurfSky Reborn, Sophie's Enchant Books, and Arkudii's Detailed Skyblock are all highly recommended (if you have poor performance, please try disabling other visual mods or packs first). FurfSky is one of the largest SkyBlock item resource packs with textures for almost every custom item in SkyBlock. Sophie's Enchant Books help distinguish enchantment books' textures, making organization much easier. Arkudii's Detailed Skyblock is smaller, but adds some additional improvements to the environments that I believe will be well appreciated.
- FreshAnimations and its add-ons are for more lively mob animations. Pretty well optimized and should work fine in most situations. This is purely preference.
- Detailed Animations has beautiful player animations, which also apply to NPCs and some enemies. Not as optimized as other packs, disable if needed.
- Crops & Foliage Variations is for prettier crops. May have a performance hit on the garden or farm, but it seems to be well optimized.
- Serified Font is another preference thing. Has no performance impact and functions perfectly in all the UIs, and to some may look a lot better than Vanilla.
Try to keep the resource packs in their default order.
Resolution
Because SBModernized was made for 1920x1080 monitors and optimized for my mid-level PC, other resolutions and PCs may need many changes to the HUD and graphics settings.
There will be screenshots of different areas of the game with notes on which parts of the HUD are from what mods.
Shaders
They work with a good PC; not high-end level but better than most.
If the shaders don't run well for you, I recommend primarily playing with them off, then toggling the shaders with K when you want some nicer scenery while Fishing, Foraging, or Hunting.
Clouds
For optimization, clouds are disabled on all the default shaders and we instead use Better Clouds, which still look good without being taxing on performance.
Sound Physics
One included mod, Sound Physics, will not be for everyone. Set Friendly Mob and Hostile Mob sounds to 40%, then disable Sound Physics if you don't like the audio (you can do this in the config or in the modrinth content menu).
SkyHanni: Use key Backslash in-game to modify some of the hud. This will likely need lots of editing if you use a resolution other than 1920x1080. It's UI includes the Custom Scoreboard, Sacks value display, location pathing, and more.
SkyBlocker: Use command /widget to modify SkyBlocker's Tablist widgets and some of its hud. Also /skyblocker for several other options, including /skyblocker bars for customizing the bars above the hotbar.
SkyCubed: Use command /skycubed to access SkyCubed's settings. You can also drag its map and info display (box with current time) by opening chat.
Common Keybinds: Go to Options > Controls > Key Binds then use the search bar to find specific binds or browse all.
SkyBlocker Shortcuts: Use command /skyblocker shortcuts then scroll down to change any keybinds you wish to, including adding or removing any (note: press 'Esc' after setting any keybind).
Below are some notable keybinds (_all command binds are in SkyBlocker).
- M: Open Map (Skycubed)
- Left Alt (hold): Show tab secondary view (Skyblocker)
- C: Equipment Menu
/equipment - G: Bags Menu
/bags - H: Hunting Box
/huntingbox - B: Booster Cookie Menu
/boostercookie - U: Wardrobe Menu
/wardrobe - I: Storage Menu
/storage - P: Pets Menu
/pets - Backslash (\): Modify Skyhanni HUD
- Numpad 0: Warp Menu
/warp - Numpad Period: Warp to Hub
/hub
