Download the exclusive version of Fabric NOW!

MP_TrulyEssentials_description.webp

The goal of this modpack is simple, to enhance the Minecraft gameplay experience, without being too invasive. Ideal for all those players who just want to enjoy Minecraft, or create their own modpack.
It contains mods for, for example:

- Performance optimization and shader support.

- Show crafting recipes.

- Minimap functionality with waypoint settings.

- Immersive ambient sounds.

- Highly realistic animal behaviors.

- Simple or natural structures.

- Vanilla-friendly decorative elements.

- And much more!

Do you need a server to play with your friends?

MP_TrulyEssentials_promo.webp

If you are looking for a server to play any modpack with your friends, Bisect Hosting is your solution! They have the best quality-price Minecraft servers, and if you click on this link you will get a 25% discount, using the code "Lupin".

MP_TrulyEssentials_faq.webp

Minecraft keeps loading? You enter the world but your FPS is low?

Please make sure to increase the RAM in case you need it, most problems are due to this. If you use the curseforge app, it's as easy as clicking on profile options, uncheck the option to use default memory system and move the bar to the right (at least we recommend 5GB or 5120 MB).

If you see that it is still not enough, increase the RAM more!

Is there an error with your server?

Unfortunately, when setting up a server on your own, or hiring a hosting that I have not recommended, the modpack may not work.

This modpack work perfectly with Bisect Hosting, so I recommend 100% to hire such hosting. Also, you will get a 25% discount if you do it through this link and use the code "Lupin".

Please note that for this modpack, we recommend a minimum of 6GB of RAM. If you are a large number of players, you should consider increasing the amount of RAM even more.
