Description
📻 Noticed board
26.2_0.0.71.0 release very soon. Distant Horizons versions will be released too. Please wait.
P.S: 1.20.1_0.0.60.0 is available too.
P.P.S: I've got power problems, so the update might take a little longer.
P.P.P.S: I'll fix the Voxy version; just update Voxy if you don't want to wait for the hotfix.
- If you use MultiMC based launcher, I recommend install Java 22 by Oracle, Zulu, OpenJDK etc. or Java 23+ (for example latest 25) by GraalVM and enable in settings "Skip compatibility checks". C2ME support this Java version and your fps may more stable.
- Btw, I run a Ko-fi page where I sometimes post things like my shader config or beautiful screenshots.
- If you have stutters, freezers even without jumping of frame rate, try: Settings/General/Fullscreen: ON.
Every two-four weeks, I'm updating modpack. Why not every week? Cause in this time I can be testing and checking bugs, issues and updating more mods than after one week only. Also, I work on my another modpacks, so I need time for some recreation.
If you want to have always fresh fixes, edits of configs, should:
-
Backup your "config" folder.
-
Remove "config" folder in ".minecraft" before update modpack.
-
Update modpack in newer version.
If you have problems after remove this folder, just return this folder.
I'm marking each version with unique numbers, letters, and tags. Here’s how I'm doing it. For example version 1.21.1_0.0.43.0_fabric_DH:
1.21.1 — Minecraft version
0.0.43.0 — modpack version (last number is fix, hotfix or version with minor update)
fabric — loader
DH — version with Distant Horizons included.
Always make backup your saves. It's important!!!
Balanced modpack with optimization and support to all shaders and resource packs for Optifine. Modpack based on Vanilla Extension, but without resource packs and some features, more universal. But if you want to use only optimization, that can use Optimized Maxima.
I work on it:

🪸Some useful features
- Controlify - adds controller support to Minecraft!
🎨Optifine Features
Many resource packs use optifine functions for variable mobs, items and blocks - these are all in my modpack. Also support for shaders, high resolution screenshots, animated textures, dynamic light, zoom and much more.
- Animatica - a mod implementing the OptiFine/MCPatcher animated texture format.
- CIT Resewn - re-implements MCPatcher's CIT (custom item textures from optifine resource packs).
- Capes - lets you use capes from OptiFine, LabyMod and other cape mods.
- Continuity - a Fabric mod that allows for efficient connected textures.
- FabricSkyboxes - allows resource packs to define custom skyboxes.
- Fabrishot - take insanely large screenshots because why not.
- Iris Shaders - a modern shaders mod for Minecraft intended to be compatible with existing OptiFine shader packs.
- LambDynamicLights - a dynamic lights mod for Fabric.
- RyoamicLights - LambDynamicLights unofficial architectury port. A dynamic lights mod for Minecraft.
- OptiGUI - custom inventory GUIs on Fabric&Quilt with OptiFine resource pack support&many more features.
- Zoomify - a zoom mod with infinite customizability.
- [EMF]Entity Model Features - EMF is an, OptiFine format, Custom Entity Model replacement mod available for Fabric and Forge.
- [ETF]Entity Texture Features - emissive, Random & Custom texture support for entities in resourcepacks just like Optifine but for Fabric.
Also, I won't support 1.20.2, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9 and 1.21.11. Because they have some problems with Quilt, Forge and NeoForge and devs less update mods for them. 1.20.6 has some problems with performance. Please, use 1.20.1 or 1.21.11+. Furthermore, It's hard for me to update so many versions (understand me).
