Client Compressed

Client Compressed is a fully Client-sided modpack for the latest version of Minecraft, aiming to optimise the game for better performance along with adding things like ambient effects and shaders. It is heavily inspired by Fabulously Optimised. Client Compressed is being actively developed by NJS-Studios along with its leader NJS.

We recommend it to people who wish for a well-optimised experience, but also want to make the game feel more alive and vibrant.

PLEASE NOTE:

-Client Compressed is still in very early development. Don't expect everything to be perfect yet.

-Client Compressed is being worked on by one person, so updates might take a while to come out.
