Modpack

by salmonfiftyfive

basically a bunch of old retro-y mods and shaders and stuff to kinda be like what minecraft would look like if it was made 6 years earlier for the xbox or ps2 or something. just a bunch of mods and texture packs to give it that sort of "retro vibe"

Description

a retro mod that aims to emulate the glory days of minecraft without getting rid of too many modern day features. based around the idea of "what if minecraft was made 5 years earlier?"

this mod runs on 26.2 and has been updated, will not include mods that are no longer getting updated.

  • iris and sodium are included for performance. 
  • nostalgic tweaks for various old features
  • golden days base for old textures and vibes
  • ninjamike1211's psx mcsx shader for "the look"
  • controllable for controller support if you're going for more of a console feel 
  • the aether mod is for a pinch of extra retro nostalgia (not updated, so i cant include it in newest release)
  • from the fog for a twinge of creepines (not updated, so i cant include it in newest release)
  • dynamic lights as the psx shader makes caves super dark (torch in offhand recomended)
  • plamso voice and soundboard for proximity chat options
  • vanilla backport for all the new features
  • farlands reborn just to add the farlands back because why not
  • moderner for old terrain generation option
  • and much more, but i'm to lazy to list it all rn

 

THIS MODPACK IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITH THE ESSENTIAL MOD WHICH HAS A SEPERATE DOWNLOAD

this was mainly made for myself and for my friends to play together and added to curseforge for convivence. also i would 100% recommend using the amplified world style it is so underrated, fits the vibe perfectly, and is what i use in most of the screenshots i've taken (in the images tab)
