🌿 Feather | Lightweight Vanilla+ Modpack

Feather is a sleek and minimal Vanilla+ modpack designed for players who want a little extra—without losing the charm of the vanilla Minecraft experience.

Built for both Fabric and Quilt*, Feather includes a handpicked selection of client-side only mods that enhance visuals, improve performance, and add subtle quality-of-life upgrades. Whether you're playing in singleplayer or on a multiplayer server, Feather makes your game feel smoother, snappier, and just a bit smarter.

It also replicates (and improves on) the OptiFine experience with modern alternatives—like Iris for shaders, Sodium for performance, and Dynamic Lights for immersive lighting—plus tons of features you won’t find in OptiFine or clients like Lunar or Badlion.

❓ FAQ

Do I need anything on the server?
Not at all! All mods in Feather are 100% client-side, so you can safely join vanilla or multiplayer servers without any compatibility issues.

Can I add more mods?
Absolutely. Feather is designed to be modular, so feel free to add more mods as long as they’re compatible with your chosen loader. However, we cannot guarantee support for all mods!

Does it include OptiFine?
Nope — but that’s a good thing! Feather uses modern, better-performing alternatives like Iris (for shaders), Sodium (for FPS boosts), and Dynamic Lights to replicate and even improve on the OptiFine experience.

Will it improve FPS?
Yes, for almost everyone! Feather includes performance-focused mods like Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, and more — especially helpful for lower-end machines or laptop users.

Can I use shaders?
Yes! Feather includes Iris, which supports most OptiFine shaders. Just drop your .zip shader packs into the shaderpacks folder and enable them in-game.
