This modpack consist of essential mods that doesn't add new blocks, items or worldgen but provides great quality-of-life features. Player will experience the regular vanilla gameplay the way it should be with all small tweaks, features and enhanced optimization. Immerse into the world while playing well-known game on old map(you don't need to create new map) or create a brand new world. Modpack will be useful for those who play vanilla, providing small features that you even never thought about and for creative builders, who just love to build, making videos and timelapses. Again, this modpack don't add new blocks or items, so you can change minecraft versions easily, delete mods or join servers without fear to lose anything.
