Additional Mods
Backup
It is highly recommended to backup your world regardless if you are playing singleplayer or owning/administrating a server. You probably don't want to risk to lose your world because of a fatal bug - or simly stupidity - after days and days of playing.
For singleplayer it is recommended to use AromaBackup. On a server it is recommended to use FTB Utilities however to use the other features of it it has to be installed clientsided aswell. In the end it comes down to not much more than personal preference as both mods can be used on singleplayer and/or on the server.

| Damage Indicators | Adds a HUD that shows information about health, effects, if it's hostile and a 3D image of the mob you are looking at. | - The HUD is positioned in the top left corner so it might overlap with InGameInfoXML.
- The information about health doubles with WAILA so you might want to change the WAILA config. |

| Fancy Block Particles | Breaking a block now creates 3D particles. | |
| FTB Utilities [FL] | Backup your world by schedule or by command. Add other players as friends and give them permissions to your claimed chunks which also can be chunkloaded. | |

| MAtmos [LL] | Atmospheric sound generator. It will play sounds according to your surroundings. If you are in the forest - bird will chirp. If you are at low health - how will hear your heart beating. Soundpacks are available here (put them in the resourcepacks-folder in your modpack-directory). | The 1.7.10 version is an unofficial beta version. This was not an issue for me in the past though. |
| NoFog | Removes all fog. | |
| OptiFine | OptiFine is an optimization-mod that increases the performance of the game. Additionaly it provides a lot of features like shader support, VSync, connected textures and a lot of video-settings. If you consider using this, read this before installation. Otherwise you are likely to encounter problems. | - Fastcraft conflicts with Optifine, you have to remove it.
- "Chunk Loading" in the Video-Settings has to be set to "Default". If it does not, your game will crash if you join a world/server. |

| TabbyChat 2 [LL] | Completely overhauls the chat window. Resize the chat how you like, create channels/private messages, add filters, see timestamps... | If Big Chat History is installed it will do nothing. |
| VoxelMap [LL] | A minimap. It has the same basic functionality as JourneyMap but with some addtions: choose icons for your waypoints, share waypoints and have a monster-radar even in multiplayer (technicaly JourneyMap has a radar aswell but not in the version shipped with GTNH). |
LiteLoader
LiteLoader is a modloader like forge however it supports mods with the .liteloader file extension. The installation is similar to Forge but if Forge is already installed (which it is because all mods within GTNH work with Forge) that does not work. In this case you can install LiteLoader as a Forge mod (.jar file extension). To do that run the LiteLoader installer and select "Extract LiteLoader jar". Choose then the mods-folder inside your modpack-directory (see below) as the extraction-directory.
You have to insert .liteloader mod-files in the mods-folder in your modpack-directory.
.jar for use with Forge.
