Description

Key Features

  • Completely compatible with vanilla worlds and servers
  • Better performance than vanilla (Even with shaders*)
  • Preconfigured Complementary shaders
  • Improved, varied, and connected textures
  • Loads of new particles and effects
  • New sounds and sound physics
  • UI mods to make things prettier and more understandable
  • Massively improved load times (after first load)
  • Assorted small fixes and improvements

*Performance will vary depending on hardware. The default configuration is targeting a balance of performance and quality, not one or the other.

 

Check Screenshots to see the difference!

 

Despite having a large number of mods, this pack is incredibly lightweight, and actually performs better than vanilla.

Every aspect of the game's presentation is improved in one way or another, but gameplay isn't touched apart from some menu improvements.

That means this pack is completely compatible with vanilla worlds and servers, and is considered "legal" / not cheating.

 

Keybinds

  • U - Show/Hide Armor HUD
  • I - Show/Hide Inventory Preview HUD
  • C - Zoom (+Mousewheel to adjust)
  • K - Toggle Shaders On/Off

Shift has been bound to sprint and control to sneak to resemble other PC games. This can be changed back easily.

 

Configuration

Improve Performance Further

  • Reduce render distance (Options -> Video Settings -> General -> Render Distance)
  • Reduce fullscreen resolution (Options -> Video Settings -> General -> Fullscreen Resolution)
  • Use "Low" shader preset or disable shaders (Options -> Video Settings -> Shader Packs)

Improve Visuals Further

  • Use "High" shader preset (Options -> Video Settings -> Shader Packs)
  • Increase render distance

 

Credits

In addition to the mods included, this pack bundles in:

Complementary Shaders (Preconfigured for compatibility and performance)

Vanilla Additions (Dark UI only)

Stay True (Modified for better shader compatibility)
