Description
(Suggest changes in the comments to help tune this modpack to perfection)
"Modders have been making changes they would like to see made in Minecraft for years. I wanted a modpack that felt updated by the community, with the essence of the vanilla game still in tact."
(All vanilla+ style friendly)
- Animal variations
- More mobs/mini-bosses (Not in an overwhelming way)
- Better world generation + more structures to discover
- Immersive sounds
- Better animations
- Revive your friends before they die, or just wait for a grave that contains their items starting them with a death compass and night vision
- Code optimizations
- Lots of small tweaks/fun things that add well to the base game
- Features from newer MC versions
Noteworthy on their own:
- Essential Mod - Multiplayer without the need of any server setup, just add your friend by their username and they can accept and join your game.
- Keyboard Wizard - Easily reassign controls with f8.
- MineColonies - Build your own kingdom with citizens that build for you.. if you can figure out how..
- Squake - Quake/CS:GO movement that can give you some extra speed (bunnyhopping, strafe jumping, etc..)
OptiFine_1.12.2_HD_U_G5.jar - Easy install here, just put into 'mods' folder. (Off-hand torch holding makes for great atmosphere)
For shaders I'd mostly recommend 'internal' for minimum FPS loss since the mods already take it down to 60 usually, but
If your computer can handle a lot I recommend these:
Sildur's shaders - 'Vibrant' or 'Enhanced Default' - some screenshots shown officially here and also in this Modpack's images tab.
(Make sure to Video Settings>Details>Clouds "OFF" since this shader has it's own clouds)
IF YOU CAN'T RIGHT CLICK
I've re-bound off-hand items to be used with the third mouse button, which there might not be on your mouse, so you can easily press F8 and search this mod, and click an unassigned key to use instead.
You can also disable this mod if you like normal right-click.
The reason I use this was because having two usable items equipped at once can be problematic ex. something like place a torch where you mean to put water in a bucket, leaving you with a torch to pick up and no water.
TO NOT CRASH FROM..
Simply update the mod, the version I had on the pack seems troublesome, I'll be updating a fixed version when I can.
Luckily I have a mod in the pack that returns you to menu on most crashes so it's not too bad, and I've only seen issues on the main menu.
You can actually update every mod except:
Animania Base - Don't update this mod!! (It's a wonderful mod, updating it will only crash your game)
Issues I'm aware of and plan on fixing:
Disabling all the chat/achievement/recipe popups when you start game
! The below list only shows mods up to version 1.0.7 (when the pack was a lot more lightweight) and will need to be added to !

Death Quotes - Attempts to lessen the pain consuming void inside you, with humor.
Swing Through Grass
Waystones - A less cheaty teleportation system. (Allowed global)

Notes:
- Config = Needs a good Vanilla+ vibecheck still, some things may need to be disabled or tweaked.
- If you find something you don’t believe to feel very vanilla feel free to let me know.
