Description
This modpack holds the ORIGINAL VANILLA feeling
Guaranteed not to be complicated or detailed, but to make the game more easy (time saver) & enjoyable
INCLUDES:
- Useful mods that saves time for the player
- More content to the visual and auditory vanilla design (Texturepacks, Shaders, Animations, Environment sounds, more mobs and structures in all worlds)
- Optimizers (to get more FPS for a smoother gameplay)
- A few not overly horror mods for your everyday (such as Herobrine or ugly spiders)
- Fine-tuned control and video settings (Read Controls below)
- Well configured mods (Read Quick Guide below)
- Backported: The Pale Forest, The ability of Classic Sword Blocking
- New worlds called "The Aether" and "The Twighlight Forest"
MY EXPERIENCES:
- I tried to compile this modpack so that it only works with Fabric modloader + Iris & Sodium basic performance mods, but I noticed that I get 10-20 FPS more and stable gameplay with Embeddium + Oculus if I load the mods with Forge & Fabric modloader.
- This modpack was tested on local server using Essentials mod (it's more stable than using Hamachi > Singleplayer > Open LAN)
GOOD TO KNOW:
- If some mods are too annoying, they can be disabled in the mods menu > "Selected mod" > Configuration menu (for example "Cosy Critters & Creepy Crawlies" / "Subtle Effects" mod)

- Fast Travel by using Waystones (useful to teleport between many waypoints) [Waystones mod]

- Adds a new slot for the Charm of Undying Totem, so you can always have it active but not see it [Stcep It Up mod]
- Adds a new slot for Elytra, so you can always have it active and have armor at the same time [Elytra Slot mod]
- Items stay inside interactable blocks after closing (for example Workbench, Enchantment table or Anvil) [Visual Workbench mod, Easy Magic mod, Easy Anvil mod]
- If you die, all your items will remain in your corpse, you just have to find them back (and they won't burn in the lava) [Corpse mod]
- If something breaks/runs out of your hand, it will be immediately replaced with a new one from your inventory (if there is any) [Inventory Tweaks – ReFoxed mod]
- Armor skins are now invisible [Invisible Armor Model mod]
- Notifies from a newly picked up item in the right bottom corner and marks a newly added item in the inventory with a star [Pick Up Notifier mod, Item Highlighter mod]
- Marks players positions on the XP bar in the form of a compass [Player Locator Plus mod]
