Description
Most versions of this modpack come with 2 versions for releases: Classic and Fairplay
Classic:
Offers the complete and modpack's default experience but includes some mods that some people might consider cheating or make you banned/kicked from public servers. - Usually includes these key mods:
- Better Third Person
- GammaUtils
- Axiom
- Freecam
- InvMove
- Bridging Mod
- Accurate Block Placement Reborn
- Xaero's Minimap
- Xaero's World Map
- Bactromod (Only on older versions of the modpack - Replaces some mods above.) And many more...
The difference between Classic and Fairplay versions varies for each version of this modpack.
Classic versions don't have a suffix at the end of their version names. - Example of a classic version to download: 26.2+0.3.0
Fairplay:
Offers a safe option to play on public servers. Still having most of QoL features and all of the optimization mods.
Fairplay version names end with "-fair". - Example of a Fairplay version to download: 26.2+0.3.0-fair
Known mods in the modpack that might slighly alter vanilla behavior:
This modpack is intended not to modify the server-side part of the game (like no new blocks etc). But some optimization patches might have parity differences with Vanilla in singleplayer worlds.
Examples:
Noisium mod generates features a little bit different compared to Vanilla. It's noticeable when comparing the tree locations.
Ksyxis mod removes spawn chunks to speed up game loading and improve perfomance. - Won't exist in 1.21.9+ because Minecraft did this!
Server Core mod on some versions of this modpack, might modify entity spawning within chunk borders and few other tiny, non-noticable changes. (It doesn't exist in newer versions, even a bit below 26.1.)
(1.16.1 version is perfectly on par with Vanilla as it's a speedrun-special version.)
You can remove the mods above to achieve perfect parity with Vanilla.
❗ About
❓ Why Ultimately Optimized?
The main reason to choose this modpack is the QoL (Quality of Life) mods/resourcepacks. Remember this isn't a vanilla+ modpack, because it doesn't change any of Vanilla Minecraft's mechanics. So you can enjoy an optimized version of Minecraft with all your wished features in a server with your friends or singleplayer world. Also, public servers that have too many players in them will not lag your PC.
This modpack is available for 3 recent April Fools snapshots and some older vanilla Minecraft versions , too. (Check Version Support part for more info.) These versions tend to get less updates from me.
💯 Note that although this modpack includes many QoL features, 1.16.1 version of this modpack only includes speedrun-only mods and thus, it's safe for submission to speedrun.com.
🧑💻 This modpack is just in Modrinth and won't be ported to Curseforge.
🙏 Please report any bugs you might find or any suggestions you might have to our Discord server.

... Small Notes & Credits
- The modpack icon is generated by AI (Bing Image Creator) — as I suck with image editing 🫣.
- Almost none of the mods or shaderpacks (about resourcepacks, the two resourcepacks Icons Fixed and Leave My Hotbar Alone are mine, but no other than that) in this modpack are mine and must be credited to their respective owners. That means I haven't made any mods or shaderpacks for this modpack. The things are mine are the two resourcepacks Icons Fixed and Leave My Hotbar Alone, and also the pre-loading screens for the version 1.21.5 and after.
