CONTEXT: I am starting the long pre-production research process for a documentary I am making. I want the MC Documentary to focus on the culture, impact and community over the years (especially on the site). This research focuses on the whole.

__RESEARCH QUESTION__
For a majority of your time playing Minecraft, do you use Mods?
(Bonus: List below the mods or modpacks you use if any!)

To clarify, this is for how you normally play, trying out mods for a week isn’t a majority. If you use like Mini-maps, TooManyItems, or Zoomify when you play then that’s modded (the Majority!)

I myself play Minecraft on Education Edition with my school account because that what i have access to at this point of time, so my mods are limited and you can’t download some of the amazing Planet Minecraft and Curseforge mods.but the few mods i have i use them whenever i can, such as a realistic musket mod :D

Yea it’s uncommon, most of the mods crash my iPad, buuut it’s fun to have a few cool skins because most of the default skins are just dry. That also sadly means curseforge won’t work, PMC won’t work and many others. However it is definitely fun

Modded for me is basically like a different game. I'll occasionally have like 1-3 month times where I'll do nothing else but play some modpacks like Blightfall or even my own.

Uhhh I'm not sure. I do always play with Optifine. The severs I'm in and play on have some mods?? Like both have the head mod, one has a mod that makes the day going by a bit different. I think that's the only mods they have though??

Client-side stuff, so it doesn't really affect what happens in the game, so much as what I see on screen.

Not clear on the difference between Vanilla w Optifine and Modded Performance enhancig only.

I use a variety of minor QoL 'mods' in addition to Optifine.
QoL in my case includes things like:
improved pistons/sticky pistons [cosmetic texture pack]
silient portals and unanimated portals
various quieter mob 'mods'
various directional blocks (e.g. hoppers)
alterations to the item forms of some blocks to make them more easily distinguishable
etc.

Optifine specifically hones in on performance rather than quality of life. Plus for me and the not so tech savvy friends, optifine is the most they do to get their game running better.

I use Sodium (a performance enhancing mod), would that fall under the optifine option too? Or is it just optifine?

That probably falls under Performance Enhancing compared to Optifine’s wider exposure to the MC Community.

I've never had the opportunity to use mods. Not even performance enhancers!
I've tried to use world edit many times, but I never knew how to install it properly. LOL

i play with mods on single player worlds but they're not to extensive, i use texture packs everywhere for enhancements like fresh animations
https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/fresh-animations/gallery
and others, just to make the experience more enjoyable and custom
i play on a spigot/modded/vanilla (idk dont ask) server which has mods that improve gameplay like pouches and currency, plots lands warps and such
i couldnt list them all but the server ip is play.emeraldsmc.com
mostly the ones i always have on are enchancements and texture packs but they stay vanilla mostly

i used to use mods but that was when my brother could help me install them (because I, for the LIFE of me, cannot figure out how), so, after I got my new computer, the only mod I've downloaded was Biomes o' Plenty, but I do want to get Better End

back when i use to play a lot of pocket and windows 10 edition (2017-2018) i found myself downloading and using a whole lotta mods off mcpedl such as vanilla vehicles, a nuke mod at one point, a dog add-on that added breeds like collies, poodles, pugs, etc. and a jurassic park mod/map.

but once 2019 rolled by i started using less and less mods, (mostly because the ones i liked didn't update to the newer versions and bedrock doesn't let you go back to older versions) and by the time i got my hands on java edition in late 2020 i was kinda done with mods.

nowadays i really only use optifine
