A modded survival
world, built to last.
Minecraft with Friends is a small Fabric survival server focused on long-term builds, light performance mods, and a community that actually knows each other's names.
Whitelist required — see how to join below.
How to join
Three steps from a vanilla launcher to standing in spawn — no modpack download required. This is a genuine order of operations — follow it top to bottom.
Install Fabric Loader
Grab the installer from fabricmc.net, run it against Minecraft 26.2, and let it create a new launcher profile.
Install AutoModPack
Head to the AutoModPack page, choose Manual install, then select Fabric as your mod loader before downloading. Drop the jar into your %appdata%/.minecraft/mods folder — it's the only mod you install by hand.
Connect and let it sync
Add minecraft.perezwastaken.com in Multiplayer and join. AutoModPack detects the server's modset and installs everything else for you.
You need to be whitelisted before you can connect. Contact me with your Minecraft username and wait for confirmation — joining before you're added will just get you a "not whitelisted" message.
Mods on the server
You don't install these by hand — AutoModPack downloads and updates all of them the moment you connect.
Fabric API
v0.157.0The base toolkit almost every other mod on this list hooks into. Required to connect.
AutoModPack
v4.0.6Syncs your client's mods to the server automatically. Install this one, get the rest for free.
Forge Config API Port
v26.2.1Lets Fabric-side mods read Forge-style config files. A dependency, not something you'll interact with.
Balm
v26.2.0.6Shared library that a few other mods on this list depend on to run.
Collective
v8.39Common library used by several content mods below. No effect by itself.
MidnightLib
v1.9.3Another shared library dependency for a few of the content mods below.
Shogi
v26.2.0.5A rule-based configuration library other mods build on — Waystones uses it to control warp requirements. Nothing to interact with directly.
OtterLib
v0.4.0.0Small library dependency required by Sit! below. Nothing to interact with directly.
Fabric Language Kotlin
v1.13.13Lets Fabric mods written in Kotlin run — required by Inventory Profiles Next. Nothing to interact with directly.
libIPN
v6.8.3GUI and config library that Inventory Profiles Next runs on. Nothing to interact with directly.
LuckPerms
v5.5.57Server-side permissions manager for staff and ranks. Runs on the server only — nothing to install on your end.
Placeholder API
v3.1.0-beta.1Text-manipulation library other mods use to insert dynamic values into messages. Nothing to interact with directly.
Vanilla Permissions
v0.3.6Adds fine-grained permission checks to vanilla commands so LuckPerms can control them. Server-side only — nothing to install on your end.
TAB
v6.1.2Customizes the tab list, nametags, and scoreboard. Server-side only — nothing to install on your end.
Styled Chat
v2.13.0Adds rich text formatting to chat, with permission-based styles via LuckPerms. Server-side only — nothing to install on your end.
Lithium
v0.25.3General-purpose server-side optimizations. Invisible in play, noticeable in TPS.
Starlight
v1.1.3Rewrites the lighting engine for faster chunk lighting and fewer light-related lag spikes.
C2ME
v0.4.1-beta.1.0Multithreads chunk loading and generation so the world keeps up as you explore.
FerriteCore
v9.0.0Cuts memory usage by restructuring how the game stores block and item data.
ScalableLux
v0.2.1Rewrites dynamic lighting so torches, glowstone, and other light sources render faster.
Sodium
v0.9.1Rewrites the rendering engine for smoother framerates, especially in builds with lots of foliage or entities.
Voxy
v0.2.19-betaRenders distant terrain at reduced detail so you can see far beyond the normal render distance without the usual FPS hit.
Voxy Server Side
LatestStreams pre-rendered distant terrain from the server to anyone running Voxy, so you see far-off terrain the moment you log in instead of only after exploring it.
Waystones
v0.9Place waystones around the world and teleport between them once discovered.
Xaero's Minimap
v26.4.2Adds a minimap and full-screen map so you always know where you are.
Open Parties and Claims
v0.29.3Form parties with friends and claim land to protect builds from griefing.
AppleSkin
v3.0.10Shows exact hunger and saturation values on the HUD instead of leaving you to guess.
Inventory Profiles Next
v2.3.6Full inventory control — sort with one click, move matching items, throw everything out, lock slots, and save gear sets.
Ore Harvester
v1.6Mines a whole ore vein at once when you break the first block.
Tree Harvester
v9.4Fells an entire tree at once instead of block by block.
Repurposed Structures
v7.7.5Adds new structure variants across biomes that vanilla left out.
Ping Wheel
v1.12.1A quick-communication wheel for pinging locations and callouts without typing.
Sit!
v1.2.6.3Turns any block into a chair — right-click to sit, fully configurable per block.
Mod Menu
v20.0.1Adds an in-game screen listing every installed mod, with configs for the ones that support it.
Tom's Trading Network
v0.3.14Set up vending machines to trade with other players — even works inside claimed chunks.
Better Than Mending
v2.3.0Sneak-right-click a Mending item to repair it instantly using experience you already have.
Elytra Slot
v3.0.0Adds a dedicated accessory slot for your elytra, so you can fly and wear chestplate armor at the same time.
WorldEdit
v7.4.5In-game world editing — selections, copy/paste, brushes, and schematics. Server-side only — nothing to install on your end unless you also want WorldEdit CUI below.
WorldEdit CUI
26.2+03Client-side only — draws your WorldEdit selection directly in the world so you can see exactly what you're about to edit.
Server rules
Kept short on purpose. Placeholder set below — swap in your actual rules.
- No griefing or stealing outside of designated PvP zones.
- Keep builds a reasonable distance from existing player claims.
- No client-side cheats or X-ray — performance mods only.
- Be decent in chat — this is a small community, treat it like one.
