These are Saturn Modpack's main features:

  • New terrain generation enhancements in all dimensions thanks to Terralith, Stellarity, and Incendium
  • Fresh new gameplay mechanics from Stellarity and Incendium
  • A brand new main menu, and a tweaked Friends and Multiplayer menu.
  • Custom shader configs and PBR texture packs (SPBR) for an optimal shader experience out of the box! Use Mellow Shader if you have a low end PC, otherwise use Photon.
  • Achieves maximum performace while doing so, thanks to it's MercuryFPS base.
