About

This modpack focuses on Distant Horizons for extended render distance.
It adds a curated set of performance, visual and quality of life mods (map, HUD, voice chat) while keeping vanilla gameplay and full compatibility with unmodded survival servers.
It is tuned for HeXHub.net, but works on most vanilla and Paper-based survival servers.

Core intent

• Distant Horizons for long-range terrain.
• Only client-side visuals, performance tweaks and UI/QoL features, no gameplay changes.
• Helper mods such as the minimap are preconfigured for fair play, avoiding xray-like cave view, mob radar or similar unfair information.
• No freecam-style spectator mods included.

Settings policy

• Preconfigured: graphics, map and a few utility mods (per edition), so everything works out of the box without unfair advantages.
• Keybinds: only cleaned up to resolve conflicts between mods. Important vanilla and core mod keys keep their usual positions, less important mod keys are moved or unbound.
• Other options such as sound, mouse and general gameplay settings stay close to vanilla defaults.
• Your Options Shall Be Respected (YOSBR) keeps your own settings on updates. Pack defaults are only applied on fresh installs or when a mod is added and its config does not exist yet.
