Description
Keel Comfort
Vanilla Minecraft, faster and friendlier. The measured optimizers of Keel Performance, plus the quality-of-life mods that Fabric modpacks carry most. Every one is client-side: no new blocks, items or recipes, so it joins any vanilla server and your worlds stay vanilla. The Modkeel lab measured what each mod costs before it got in, and the whole pack is started on a real server and client before each release.
What is in it
Faster (the Keel Performance base): Sodium, EntityCulling, ImmediatelyFast, MoreCulling, Lithium, FerriteCore, ModernFix (1.21.1), Dynamic FPS.
Friendlier:
| Mod | What it adds |
|---|---|
| AppleSkin | Hunger and saturation on the food bar |
| Mouse Tweaks | Drag and scroll items between inventories |
| Jade | What you are looking at, and its state, at the top of the screen |
| Shulker Box Tooltip | A shulker box's contents when you hover it |
| BetterF3 | A readable, colored debug screen |
| Zoomify | Zoom with a key |
| Skin Layers 3D | Skins' outer layer in 3D |
| Chat Heads | Players' heads next to their chat messages |
| No Chat Reports | Chat stays unsigned, as before 1.19 |
| Mod Menu, Cloth Config, YetAnotherConfigLib, Fabric Language Kotlin, Fabric API | Settings screens and the libraries the mods need |
| Modkeel Companion | World copies before mod changes, crash diagnosis |
Left out on purpose: Xaero's Minimap and World Map. Added to this pack on 1.21.1 they took the terrain frame rate from 524 to 304 FPS (-43%) and 300 mobs on screen from 202 to 155. Every other mod here cost 0 to 8%.
Measured on this pack
The whole pack against the same game with no mods, on one PC (GeForce GTX 1650), 1280x720, render distance 24, no VSync. Median frame rate, two rounds, a no-mods run before and after every pack run:
| Minecraft | Terrain | 300 mobs on screen | 300 mobs behind a wall |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.21.1 | 524 FPS vs 287 (+83%) | 205 vs 102 (+102%) | 398 vs 84 (+372%) |
| 26.2 | 397 FPS vs 282 (+41%) | 190 vs 117 (+62%) | 324 vs 92 (+254%) |
Faster than vanilla with all the extras on.
Tested together, every release
Before each release the pack is started on a real dedicated server and a real client that joins a world, with these exact files from CurseForge. A release ships only when both start and nothing crashes. Every dependency is checked against the pack first.
With a safety net: Modkeel Companion
Add your own mods on top, and if one crashes the game, the next start names the mod that most likely caused it and turns it off in one click. Your world is copied before it ever loads with a different set of mods. It does not patch the game (no mixins), so it cannot slow it down or break it. Do not want it? Remove it from the pack's mods; nothing depends on it.
Versions
| Minecraft | Loader | Mods |
|---|---|---|
| 26.2 | Fabric | 22 |
| 1.21.1 | Fabric | 23 (with ModernFix) |
26.3 comes as soon as every mod has a tested file for it.
Questions
- A minimap? Add one if you want it; the lab measured Xaero's at -43% terrain FPS on this pack, so expect a cost.
- Shaders? Add Iris on 26.2 (Keel Shaders is that pack).
- Multiplayer? Joins any vanilla or Fabric server; nothing needs installing there.
- Something wrong? Ask on Discord or open an issue.

Made with AI. The pack was put together, tested and described with Claude (Anthropic's AI), directed and reviewed by its developer. The numbers come from the Modkeel lab's own runs; the mods are the work of their authors.
