Clovercraft runs a PaperMC server, which means you can play on our SMP with a standard vanilla version of the game. That said, many players find that adding client-side mods to Minecraft greatly improves their enjoyment of the game. The Clovercraft SMP welcomes modded clients, with the following restrictions.
- Mods must be in compliance with the Mojang Terms of Service
- Mods must not allow the player to violate the Clovercraft server rules
- Mods may not enable X-Ray mining or similar mining techniques
- Mods may not allow the player to impersonate other members of the server
While players are welcome to build their own modded clients, Clovercraft maintains two official modpacks that we encourage our players to use. Our modpacks are distributed on Modrinth, and we recommend using the MultiMC Launcher.
The Clovercraft Quality-of-Life modpack adds a small number of mods to the vanilla game to make playing on our server even better. Navigate the world using both a world map and mini-map, set custom location markers, and even make use of our in-game proximity voice chat!
- Fabric API - essential for running fabric mods
- Mouse Wheelie - adds a variety of useful buttons and key combos for managing your inventory

The Clovercraft Ultimate Modpack includes everything from the Quality-of-Life modpack, along with extra tools for players who need that additional bit of power in their client. Including features for schematics, recording and editing clips, free cam, and a massive collection of advanced game information, this modpack covers everything you need.
Note: This modpack may perform poorly on older systems.

Using MultiMC

When updating to a new version of either modpack using MultiMC, your easiest option is going to be creating a new instance with the updated version of the modpack following the steps above. If you would like to preserve your Xaero's map data, there are a couple extra steps.

- Select your old instance and click the "Minecraft Folder" button on the right sidebar
- Select your new instance and click the "Minecraft Folder" button on the right sidebar
- In your old instance, locate the folders named
XaeroWaypoints and XaeroWorldMap
- Copy each of these folders into the
.minecraft folder for your new instance.
