Dutchie's Better Together

Vanilla+ modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1 using NeoForge. Expands the base game without replacing it. Core mechanics remain intact while weak areas are reinforced: building variety, storage, travel, and usability.

Building is extended through decorative sets and fine-detail tools, allowing both large-scale structures and micro-detail work. Storage and inventory management are streamlined, reducing friction without trivializing progression. Farming and cooking systems are simplified and organized, removing unnecessary grind while keeping resource flow balanced.

Exploration is improved through structured fast travel. World traversal becomes less repetitive without removing the need to explore and establish locations. The pack is designed for long-term worlds where infrastructure and expansion matter.

Performance is a primary constraint. Optimization mods reduce memory usage, improve tick stability, and maintain consistent performance in multiplayer environments. No heavy visual overhauls or content bloat are included, keeping load times and server requirements controlled.

Multiplayer parity is enforced. The client pack and server pack share identical gameplay mods and configs, ensuring consistent behavior and preventing desync. Client-only enhancements remain optional and are excluded from the server environment.

Design intent: extend vanilla, not replace it. Stable, performant, and suitable for persistent servers.
