Description

Where Performance Meets Quality:

Simply Vanilla is a vanilla+ modpack made for players who love the original game, but want a cleaner and richer experience. Simply Vanilla, doesn't want to reinvent Minecraft, but to improve and enhance the vanilla game.

Features:

Optimized: Powered by OptiFine alternative such as Sodium and Lithium for a much better FPS than the normal Minecraft and reduce stuttering and lag.

Visual and Ambiance improvements: We have added shaders in order to give a much more vibrant world with dynamic lights and a little improved audio to make the world alive without changing the original Minecraft atmosphere.

QoL improvements: Simply Vanilla includes smart UI tweaks, enhanced inventory management, that help with managing your game much faster without altering the core gameplay and making it complicated.

Fully Vanilla compatible: All of our mods are client-side so feel free to play on your favorite Vanilla server or Realm without being worried about getting kicked!

Why use Simply Vanilla?

The problem with many modpacks is they include 100's of new things to play that you really only ever see once, which ruin the Minecraft experience. Simply Vanilla actually lives up to its name! Everything that we added is tested and checked to give you the most optimized and stable Minecraft experience on a vanilla+ theme.
