Description
What started as a small project for friends quickly grew into something more – a passion project aimed at perfecting the vanilla experience. If you love this modpack, share it with your friends too (:
Simply Enhanced; Purely Vanilla. As intended
Tons of Features
SimplyVanilla has as many QoL features as you need, while still feeling like they should be in the vanilla game.
HUGE Focus on immersion
With multiple mods, such as ambient sounds and subtle effects, it immerses you in the world you're playing on
Client side
Even with the teeming amount of additions, you can still play on serves or with those that don't use SimplyVanilla [LAN does break tho]
Semi-frequent updates
As a solo person in this project, I try to keep up to date with official game and mod updates.
- Q: Where the heck is Iris Shaders?
- A: Iris shaders (along with other mods) are GONE. SimplyVanilla aims to upgrade the vanilla graphics, and shaders breaks some mods/resource packs
- Q: How do I enable/disable mods?
- A: If you're using the modrinth app, search for the project you're looking for, and toggle it on/off. There are guides for other launchers.
- Q: There's a bug on the loose/Something is broken
- A: Currently, there is no way to report issues as of now :(
- Q: I like this modpack. What can I do to support you?
- A: Don't support me, support the developers who sacrificed their time to make these great mods in this modpack. Although credit for if you mention it in a gameplay video would be apreciated for me :)
- Q: I want my mod/resource pack to be part of SimplyVanilla
- A: I am actively looking for hidden gems with few downloads. If you have a project you would like to see added, contact me on Discord (@DiskVreaker)
