Overview

Polishing minecraft to improve the visual and sound experience with simple mods and resourcepacks with some Qol changes on the side, all client-side.

Performance is very important for the smoothness of the game, so all performance mods you might want are installed. Based on Simply Optimized. For extra performace i also use: JVM Arguments

When i play, I like to be immersed, so dynamic sounds to blocks during rain fall, the clouds are fluffy and dynamic to light. The inventory has items interactions animations and hotbar is soooooo smooth like butter. Some items and blocks have more particles or trails like arrows and elytras.

Most important of all i like to take photos of my world so all resourcepacks are to extend those colors i like to see, and Picture mode for cool perspectives.

Comments

One of the mods that I recommend changing the values to your liking is simple fog control (when playing at low render distances it doesn't look as good). Disabling "terrain fog modification" does it for me.

Compatible with voxy you can add it yourself. voxy support for Simple fog control

Known issues:

About Better Block Entities (BBE): Some known mods that do not work with BBE fully enabled are Traben’s [EMF] Entity Model Features / [ETF] Entity Texture Features mods. If you want these to work alongside BBE, you will have to turn off optimizations for the block entity you want EMF/ETF to modify through our config screen. The same goes for resource packs that modify any of the enabled block entities.

If you are playing on low render distances (<20), I recommend disabling nvidium in sodium settings. Can have some performance regresion at lower render distances.

Picture mode not compatible with nvidium.

*not included in the modpack past this point

Backstory of the project

I was trying some maps from planetminecraft and ✠ Barony RagnarStein ✠ was one of my favorites. I enjoy so much walking around and looking at the details, trees flowing with the wind, churches with intiriors and the atmosphere is so medieval, even without ashen or excalibur resoucepacks, overall i recommend visiting ᛟ Windfall Haven ᛟ and all of his others maps from 8 years ago, pure talent.

• Ashen
• Excalibur | Clarent Edition
