Ignacia SMP

A vanilla friendly mod pack made for builders, content creators and redstone engineers playing on vanilla servers or in singleplayer. Especially made for designing builds in creative and then building them in survival on servers, like my community server, the Ignacia SMP (Join my discord for more info).

It features mods that make the game run a lot smoother and allows for the use of OptiFine features such as overlay textures, animated entitys, connected block textures, custom items, shaders and a zoom. It's made for vanilla servers using simple voicechat, so you can communicate with nearby players if the mod is installed and set up on the server side. This also works with audioplayer if that mod is installed on the server. For an immersive feeling Distant Horizons creates LODs that allow you to have a much higher render distance than the server. If your hardware can't handle that mod there is still a world and minimap installed, so you never get lost again.

For all the builders and redstone people out there this modpack features Axiom, Litematica, Item Scroller and Tweakeroo, all of them have features that make building and designing structures, being it farms or fancy builds, a lot easier and comfortable. Build epic stuff with Axiom in singleplayer, scan it with Litematica and gather all the resources from the material list in survival on a server. Build the structure with the Easy Place mode and Tweakeroos Fast Block Placement in no time.

A never ending amount of qualitiy of life enhancing mods is available on modrinth and this pack features my favorite ones, e. g. Better Statistics Screen, Item Scroller and Controlling to keep your menus organised. Capes and Armored Elytra to render Elytras and Chestplates, that have been plated using Vanilla Tweaks "Armored Elytra" datapack and to show your OptiFine cape or others. Works well in Multiplayer!

To make Minecraft look more beautiful some mods tweak the look of the game while having a low performance impact. Better Clouds, Make Bubbles Pop, Not Enough Animations for example give the world a fresh overhaul, combined with the Fresh Animations Resource Pack Minecraft doesn't feel like a 10+ year old game at all.

All mods that add overlays to the GUI have hotkeys to toggle those GUIs, so the deault view isn't changed at all, unless you enable the overlays you like to see. Dynamic Crosshair removes the crosshair when you're not looking at a block or holding a tool. There is enough overstimulation in our lifes already.
