Description
Nirvana aims to improving the gameplay quality on survival multiplayer servers and survival single player worlds, while not straying too far from normal vanilla gameplay. This modpack is indended for use on unmodded vanilla servers, meaning you can use it to play wherever you like!
Vanilla Minecraft, but better
Nirvana does not add any content to the game, making it compatible with most vanilla SMP servers. Nirvana adds elements only to the client, such as a waypoint and mapping system, an overlay to give you updates on armor status, and a button to automagically sort items in a container.
Performance
Nirvana contains performance enhancing mods (Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore and many others!) that give it an edge on its competition, Nirvana even outperforms Optifine! These mods have been chosen in order to give you peak performance
Optifine Parity
Nirvana includes features and addons that can be found in Optifine, including shaders, connected textures, and zoom. If your resource pack has features that require Optifine, it is likely compatible with Nirvana as well.
Continously Expanding Wiki
It isn't always easy figuring out what something does, or how to make a modpack function exactly how you want it to. Thats why we have a wiki! This wiki contains answers to common questions, controls, and configurations to make your experience with Nirvana exactly how you want it.
Frequent Updates and Support
I personally use Nirvana every time I play Minecraft, I strive to keep the pack flawlessly stable and up to date. Every time a new Minecraft version releases I get right to work updating Nirvana so the new game update can be enjoyed, with all the features you've come to love from Nirvana.
