Optimized Utilities

Modpack

I have a bunch of optimizations and more - I'm kinda obsessed over them, but I also included some quality of life mods that I use ALL THE TIME.

Description

Enhance your Minecraft experience!

Optimized Utillities is designed to improve FPS, provide useful QoL mods, and keep Minecraft as vanilla as possible!

Why choose Optimized Utilities?

The mods used in Optimized Utilities are handpicked, designed to provide a typical Minecraft experience - Without the lag!

Performance mods:

I used mods like Sodium, Lithium, and FerriteCore - Some of the most popular optimization mods - in addition to many others, carefully researched to provide smooth gameplay and stability!

QoL mods:

QoL mods are really fun to add - Mods like Fullbright, to improve mining, can be toggled on or off, oftentimes inside the game itself! Other mods like Xaero's World Map and Minimap provide cool ways to keep track of your builds and bases.

Stability:

In addition to all of that, I make sure that Minecraft can actually launch before publishing a version of this modpack - Not just adding a bunch of mods and releasing it.

Besides that, I do a lot of Minecraft modding, and so I know which mods are incompatible with each other - Like how Flashback is oftentimes incompatible with mods like ServerCore or Very Many Players (VMP).

Optimized Utilities allows you to relax and enjoy Minecraft, with a smooth, high FPS experience. You could even record your gameplay with Flashback, one of the mods I included, with a near-zero FPS impact!

To provide feedback/report crashing or bugs, join the Discord!

Updates:

I will update this modpack quite regularly - Mainly when I add new mods or when the mods in the modpack are several versions behind.

When new Minecraft versions come out, expect to wait around 2 weeks to give the most essential mods time to update.

Mod Attribution:

Go to Versions and click on the one you want to download - All the mods used will be shown there, since there's wayyy too many to include without adding like 800 words to this, which would be way too big.
