Vanilla Experience Expanded
ModpackMost vanilla plus modpacks add way too much to the game, to where it doesn't even feel like vanilla anymore, so I decided to make my own.

Description
A true Vanilla+ experience. No bloat. No 500-mod clutter. Just Minecraft, enhanced.
📌 Purpose
Many modern "Vanilla+" packs throw hundreds of mods at your computer, ruining the game's original charm and tanking your performance. This pack brings back the original meaning of Vanilla+. It focuses strictly on additions to vanilla & subtle quality-of-life tweaks while keeping the core gameplay 100% faithful to Mojang's vision.
✨ Key Features
Performance First: Built on Fabric/NeoForge using optimization mods like Sodium to drastically boost your FPS.
Quality of Life: Mouse tweaks and cleaner UI elements that feel native to the game.
Visual Polish: Enhanced ambient sounds, subtle particle improvements, and connected textures.
Zero Bloat: No forced tech trees, no confusing magic systems, and no overwhelming custom dimensions(Just an End Update).
