FAST - Fast Ambient Shaders Together is a simple, focused modpack built for players who want Minecraft to feel smoother, cleaner, more atmospheric, and easier to play with friends without changing what the game actually is.
This pack does not add new biomes, mobs, weapons, dimensions, bosses, quests, or progression systems. FAST simply improves the experience around vanilla Minecraft. The goal is to keep the base game intact while making it feel more polished through shaders, ambience, performance improvements, multiplayer support, and quality-of-life features.
It includes 10+ built-in shader options, giving players the freedom to choose the visual style and performance level that works best for them. Whether you want something light and simple, colorful and vibrant, or more cinematic, there will be something for you.
FAST is made for players who want a better version of normal Minecraft: better lighting, better atmospheres, better menus, better controls, better multiplayer convenience, and a smoother overall experience. It is especially useful for friends who want to start a world together without building a heavy modded pack around new content or complicated systems.
Features:
Over 10 built-in shader options
Full ambience and atmosphere overhaul
Multiplayer support for playing with friends

Note: FAST may take a moment to launch from CurseForge, but once Minecraft opens, the pack is designed to run extremely fast.
