Quark

About

Warning: Quark Requires Zeta for 1.20.1 onwards, or AutoRegLib for 1.19.2 and prior.

Quark is a fully modular minecraft mod, named after the subatomic particle. In simpler terms, it's a large mod with lots of small features, aimed at improving the vanilla game.
Every feature can be turned on and off individually at your will, and most features contain further options to tweak the game just how you like it.

With quark installed, the title screen will get a new "q" button added to it. This button allows you to configure quark from inside the game, so you can easily turn off any features you don't vibe with.

Features

Quark has over a hundred different modules to play with, but here's a small highlight reel of our favorites:

Feeding Trough, for automatic animal breeding
Pistons Push Tile Entities, just like in Bedrock Edition
Japanese and Industrial style building blocks
Variant versions for Bookshelves, Chests, and Ladders for all wood types
Vertical Slabs, for all slabs already in the base game and Quark
Advanced Camera Mode for fancy screenshots
Toretoises, typo intended - new underground animals that grow ore on their back
Pickarang, a pickaxe that can be thrown as a boomerang
Trowel, a new tool to place random blocks from your hotbar, for paths or ruins
Emote system, allowing your character to do all sorts of motions from the chat menu
Reacharound Placing, which lets you place blocks under other blocks without being able to see the bottom face
Azalea Wood, replacing the Oak wood in Azalea trees with a pleasant green
Glimmering Weald, a new rare deep underground biome with glowing mushrooms and a cute new stone fae mob

And many, many more!

Compatibility

Quark has built-in compatibility for a few mods, including JEI and TerraBlender.

Quark may be incompatible with Optifine. If you are having issues using the two together, please uninstall Optifine and use a Sodium fork instead.

Additionally, if you are experiencing load crashes on 1.20.1, make sure your other mods are up to date, as any mods with integration from older versions will not function until updated.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Quark by Vazkii. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on Modrinth on 24 October 2026: https://modrinth.com/mod/quark

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

MOD LOADER

This release is built for Neoforge. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.

GAME VERSION

Built for Minecraft 1.21.1. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.

DEPENDENCIES

Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.

1. Install Neoforge for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.

2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.

3. Put it in your mods folder:

Windows — %APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Linux — ~/.minecraft/mods

4. Launch the game with the Neoforge profile selected.

ON A SERVER

Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.

UPDATING

Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
