## Advanced

> For advanced users, we'll explain some things that your client/mod list should have and give some tips on making sure your setup works. There is also a recommended modlist which makes your game look great and ensures everything works smoothly!&#x20;
>
> Our modlist is a great place to start and then you can customize everything as you wish.&#x20;

### Required Mods:&#x20;

#### Custom Armor

> **Forge:** Optifine <https://optifine.net/downloads>
>
> **Fabric:** CIT Resewn <https://modrinth.com/mod/cit-resewn/versions>\
> \
> This is required to see all of the custom armors. Without this, you will just see leather armor on everyone. If that's what you see, something is wrong with this mod.&#x20;

**Tooltip Scroll**

> **Forge:** Unsure...&#x20;
>
> **Fabric:** Tooltip Scroll <https://modrinth.com/mod/tooltip-scroll/versions>
>
> \
> Most items have long lore listing all of the abilities so this is required to be able to use your scroll wheel to move the item lore up & down. Without this, you will only be able to see the top of the lore and might miss some info on the bottom.&#x20;

### Recommended Modlist

> This list includes a TON of stuff and has all been tested to work on CryptoCraft. It's highly recommended you start with this list and then adjust it based on your needs. It includes performance tweaks and lots of nice optimizations. <br>
