Description

Bare Minimum is a lightweight Fabric modpack focused on improving Minecraft's performance.

Bare Minimum doesn't include visual enhancements or quality-of-life mods that you may not need (except shaders). Almost all mods target improving performance. Even though the pack is minimal, feel free to add any helpful mods you want, or even use the pack as a base to make your own modpack.

I recommend using Vulkan for the best performance and stability. With Vitrail shaders mod (which is included in the pack) you can now smoothly run shaders on Vulkan.
