The ScandiCraft mods
ScandiCraft is a modded server, but you install nothing and configure nothing. The launcher handles it, and everything is set from inside the game.
You install nothing
The official launcher installs the game and ScandiCraft content. You do not need to find or install any mods yourself.

The ScandiCraft HUD
The HUD includes your map, potion effects, armour, FPS and CPS counters, movement keys, a compass, remaining combat time and your cooldowns: pearl, wind charge, enchanted apple and scepters, each with its time left. The armour panel shows five slots: helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots and held item, each with its durability.

Place your HUD your way
In ScandiMods, click Edit HUD. Drag an element to move it: it snaps to the edges and to other elements. Pull its corner to resize it. Click it to show its tools: the eye hides or shows it, the pencil sets its size to the percent and, when it has settings, the gear opens them. Double-click restores its defaults. An empty element (chat, titles, boss bar, scoreboard, subtitles...) shows an example so you can see where it goes. Click Done to save.
Tuning the display
By default, armour, potions and cooldowns use columns, with the map at the top left, keys and CPS at the top right and the compass centred at the top. Your custom placements are preserved; Reset all in the editor applies this vertical preset. Armour shows horizontally or vertically, on the left or the right. Durability reads as a value, a percentage, a bar alone, or a combination. Potion icons come in three sizes. The CPS counter shows left clicks, right clicks or both, split or as a total. The compass scrolls as a ribbon, with the cardinal points and a marker on your heading. Cooldowns show in a row or a column, and you pick in ScandiMods which ones to show: pearl, wind charge, enchanted apple, escape scepter and other items.
Five commands at your fingertips
Open Macros under Utilities and configure up to five commands. Click a row's button, then press the key or mouse button you want; Escape removes the shortcut. These shortcuts also appear in Minecraft key bindings. Done saves your commands. One press sends one command: holding the key does not repeat it. Leave a row empty to disable it.
Toggle sprint and sneak
Enable toggle mode in ScandiMods. Press your usual key once to toggle sprint or sneak on, and again to turn it off. Hiding remaining combat time in the HUD does not change combat logout rules.
Optimised performance
The HUD, map and dynamic lights are enabled on first launch. Shaders and HDR start disabled: enable them if your computer can handle them.
Choose your shaders
- Download :we recommend Modrinth to find shaders
- Installation :put the downloaded ZIP file in the game's shaderpacks folder without extracting it
- Enable :open ScandiMods, then the Shaders settings, and select your pack
- Performance :start with a light profile and turn shaders off if combat becomes less smooth
The map shows territories
- Every claimed chunk around you is coloured by its relationship to your faction: your own, your enemies, other factions, spawn, safezones and the warzone
- Below the map, two lines name your faction and the territory you are standing in, with its owner when it belongs to someone

The map stays fair
The minimap does not show players or caves through terrain. The widest zoom covers six chunks. It shows your waypoints, your faction homes and your last death location.
Frequently asked
Do the mods cost anything?
No. Everything is included and installed automatically. All you need is an official Minecraft account.
Are there keys to configure?
No. No keyboard shortcuts are added. Everything opens from the Options screen or the pause menu.
Does switching a mod off uninstall it?
No. The switch controls whether it runs, not whether it is installed. If an extension cannot genuinely be switched off, it shows as required rather than letting you believe it is disabled.
Will shaders slow my game down?
They can, which is why they are off by default. Turn them on only if your machine has room to spare, and turn them off before a big fight if you lose frames.
Can I use my own minimap?
Use the map included with ScandiCraft: it already displays territories and useful waypoints.
