Ok, got the mini-map (slime chunks turned off of course) , HD textures and the keybinder installed. Awesome! Have to work on the shaders though, as I was able to install them but never did get any shadows for some reason. Nice list of mods folks!
You need optifine or MC Patcher installed to use HD texture packs and shaders. I think you need MC Patcher for shaders, and that only MC Patcher would work, but I dont know as I haven't messed with them.
