The overall goal is to increase the vanilla experince without taking away too much from the fundamentals of minecraft but let it perform better and have more play features to keep your game interesting.
In order not to stray too far from vanilla we have only used a handful of mods (69) with an opptional shader and reasource pack.
The mods go from just adding simple animations for better fluidity and feel all the way to different dimensions, the Aether mod and Twilight Forest. This mod pack also has a huge emphasis on villages and exploration with new mobs and random structures.
