A very simple modpack that improves performance but tries to stay as vanilla as possible with very little QoL mods that don't affect gameplay.

About

This modpack does not feature any eye candy features like shaders or support for advanced resource packs as the goal here is to provide an enhanced vanilla experience with improved performance and a small amount of hand-picked QoL mods that don't affect gameplay at all. All mods will use default configurations as after my own research I don't think it's necessary to change anything and you're free to configure them on your own either via the in-game Mod Menu or by directly altering the config files.

⚠️ Modpack versions for game versions older than 1.21 are currently not being considered! ⚠️
