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.
