Eye Candy

Eye Candy 1.3.7 has been released as the official version for Minecraft 1.18.2! Thank you for downloading :)

Purpose:

Eye Candy is a modpack made primarily for client-side use, but running it on the server helps too!

This modpack aims to enhance the vanilla survival experience for those who use it. While it may be called eye candy, this pack isn't only visual. Including unique audio, enhanced performance, quality of life improvements, and more, this pack will change your entire game experience!

Who is this modpack for?

Eye Candy was designed to be used in survival worlds with your friends. If you choose to use it on public servers, you will want to verify whether or not certain mods such as Xaeros Minimap are allowed. If some mods aren't allowed, but you still want the other amazing mods, simply disable the banned mod(s) through Curseforge's clean interface.

What about Optifine?

This modpack entirely eliminates the need for Optifine by giving you all the best Optifine features such as zoom and performance optimizations. The difference being that these new features are better, more flexible, and much faster than Optifine!

Why for Fabric and not Forge?

There are better questions to be asked: Why would a modpack that seeks maximum performance ever go on Forge? ;)

Extras:

Eye Candy comes with some extra pre-installed features and changes:

• The YoFPS High and Low shaders are already implemented in the shader section under video settings which you are welcome to turn on. Note that Iris Shaders allow any Optifine compatible shaders to be used on fabric. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to edit shader-specific settings within Minecraft itself through Iris. If you are adamant about changing the shader settings, there are Youtube videos on how to change the settings through your system file explorer. 
• There is also a useful "Clear Pumpkin" resource pack (but turned off by default).
• Lastly, a connected glass resource pack is also available to be used right off the bat.
