Yet Another Vanilla But Better (YAVBB)
ModpackYet another performance, QoL and aesthetic vanilla-compatible modpack like the thousands of others you've already seen
Description
Yet Another Vanilla But Better is exactly what the name implies : another vanilla+ modpack. You've seen this before, I don't need to explain what that means.
It includes performance mods, aesthetic mods (probably more than a person would realistically need), lots of QoL mods to make gameplay feel better and many tools like WorldEdit, Axiom, MiniHUD and Litematica. There's probably more mods in this than the average vanilla+ modpack, so it's not the ideal pack if all you want is pure performance, but for anyone else it's totally worth it, trust, you just need to see the vision.
Is this compatible with vanilla?
...kind of! Players on vanilla clients or that are missing some mods included here won't be able to join a world hosted using this modpack, but you should be able to join any server a vanilla client can (though some server-side features like crawling or armor stand posing may not work). I wouldn't recommend joining public servers though, as some mods like ItemSwapper, Better Climbing or Reacharound might be considered cheating for some. Most importantly, worlds created using this modpack have no issues being played in vanilla and vice versa, meaning you aren't stuck using this modpack if it stops updating (or if you try it and hate it).
Why use this vanilla+ modpack instead of any other?
Uhhh... *looks through notes* umm well you see this modpack is uhhhh it's better than the others because... well y'know, you see, it's like...
Jokes aside, there isn't really a reason for this modpack to exist other than the fact that I don't want to have to rely on someone else updating their modpack to play the latest versions. There isn't something that makes it stand out from the rest, all the included mods are probably ones you already know well by now and there aren't any fancy custom resource packs or anything (yet, at least). I put it on Modrinth only because it's easier for both me to share this modpack and for others to update it if it's uploaded here instead of somewhere like MediaFire or Google Drive.
Known Bugs
