Description

Introducing... Ideal Vanilla!

What is Ideal Vanilla?

It's yet another modpack that batches a bunch of optimization mods into one with mods that fixes bugs and improve the visual and audio design of the game in ways that suit the way a "modern" style within Vanilla without adding new gameplay content alongside the added bonus of controller support; Thus providing the ideal vanilla experience!

One of the countless improvements this modpack aims to perform reaches into the ability of playing with friends; The primary mod improving this experience is the mod "LAN World Plug-n-Play" providing a updated "Open to LAN" screen for a far simpler solution to opening your singleplayer worlds to a server for your friends to play with you!

Will Ideal Vanilla recieve updates be on the latest Minecraft Versions?

In the due time of all the mods included (or alternatives) coming to the latest versions, yes!

This is my goal in the longterm to be capable of providing this modpack for many versions to come for as long as I'm capable of doing so! afterall... this is a one person developed modpack

The current plan is release ALPHA builds of the modpack as soon as possible with the "baseline" mods for optimization and visuals, once this has been done a ALPHA build of the latest minecraft version for this modpack will release, as more and more mods release bringing it closer to the prior full "Release" version of this modpack I will then move into a BETA release of that latest Minecraft version and ultimately reach a stage where the latest Minecraft version can have a fully "complete" Release build of this Modpack!
