Description
This modpack is the ultimate perfect combination of QoL mods and performance mods for the best MacBook minecraft experience. It utilises the Metallum for best performance.
I realised that shaders just do not work on macOS. This is because macOS's OpenGL version is still 4.1 whereas on PC's it is 4.6. This allows PC users to have full new shader support, whilst macOS is far behind. I chose to use the metallum mod which brings the best possible performance on macOS, along with Qol mods that improve visuality.
This combination, alongisde lots of quality of life mods makes this the undisputed best macOS minecraft modpack to date. Hope you enjoy. Don't hold back on any issues. please report any errors and I'll be happy to help.
Is built upon the Fabulously Optimised Modpack
Windows Users This modpack has an unnecesary mod called "Metallum" which might make the modpack unusable on windows. Please remove the mod, and if you'd like install Iris, and then a shader of your choice for the optimal experience.
