Description

Vital is a modpack designed as a QoL and performance modpack that dually serves as an alternative to Essential and OptiFine.

It includes the majority of Essential and OptiFine's features, including world hosting, cosmetics, many resource pack features, shaders, and so much more.

⭐ Features

🚀 Major performance improvement

Vital is built on top of the bleeding edge Simply Optimized Forked modpack, which improves the performance of every aspect of the game.

🔷 Essential features

Vital contains quite a few mods to replace Essential's features!

  • Free world hosting that's secure and private, and does not require the other players to use it
    • Simply click "Open to Friends" in the menu to get an IP address you can send to your friends to play!
  • Completely free cosmetics!
    • You can access these in the mod menu or settings menu. You could also visit the Cosmetica website!
  • A bunch of neat skin management features
    • Accessible through the main menu!
  • Screenshot improvements
    • When you take a screenshot, it will let you view it easily. You can also manage your screenshots in-game!
  • Log into different accounts from ingame.
    • Simply go into the main menu and select the account switcher!
  • In-game recording
    • Via the brilliant Flashback mod!
  • Better organized main menu
    • Inspired by Essentials layout; intended to be in the style of vanilla!

🔍 OptiFine features

Vital utilizes the core mods needed to bring over all of OptiFine's benefits;

💡 Quality of Life

Vital also includes some extra features unrelated to OptiFine, although I aim to keep this list of mods minimal. Mods are suitable for the "other features" section if they are lightweight and unobtrusive. This includes things like:

✅ Hardware Compatibility

For Hardware Compatibility information, see the corresponding section in Sodium's Modrinth description.
