Softserve
ModpackA Vanilla+ modpack that has a unique approach to overhauling existing features of the game.
Description
What is Softserve?
Softserve is a modpack put together with the sole purpose of fixing, improving, and overhauling many of the features of vanilla Minecraft that I and many others have seen as problematic or lacking.
That doesn't mean it doesn't add anything new and fun to the game though.
What does it change or add?
There's a lot to list, but here's most of it:
- More realistic and immersive environmental ambiance
- Falling anvils crush many blocks and process them into different ones
- Quality of life UI, UX, and gameplay changes
- Enchanting is now like most RPG leveling systems, instead of gambling
- Lots of new redstone gadgets for more complex and useful contraptions
- New tool & armor materials to fill in a gap in progression
- LAN worlds become hosted servers for friends to join you
- Vertical Slabs and many other new building blocks for more detailed builds
- Mining hammers for larger scale excavation at a higher material cost
- Per player instanced loot containers so nobody misses out
- Ores can spawn inside more types of rock, making them slightly more common
- Terrain generation is much more vertical and dynamic
- Rivers and streams flow through terrain more realistically
- Copper pipes for quicker item transport, as well as fluid, smoke, and even vibration transport
- Grappling Hooks that behave realistically, letting you swing around freely
Don't worry though,
if you ever feel lost, you spawn with a book full of links and helpful info.
What makes this different from other Vanilla+ modpacks?
Instead of piling on content modslike most "kitchen sink" modpacks,
Softserve aims to be more deliberate with each piece of added content, making sure to target parts of the game that actually need attention.
Why VulkanMod instead of Sodium?
There's a variety of reasons:
- OpenGL is an old and discontinued rendering pipeline
- Mojang themselves are switching to Vulkan for future game updates
- Raw FPS gains are significantly higher on Vulkan vs Sodium
I also personally prefer it as I have an AMD GPU, which runs Vulkan much better.
This still feels like a "Kitchen Sink" modpack.
This modpack is still in active development, and I am all ears on any feedback provided.
The most helpful kind of feedback to me would be detailed and include suggested solutions.
The preferred location to submit said feedback would be the Codeberg Issues Page
