Closer to Survival is a small, beginner-friendly collection for players who want Minecraft to feel mostly unchanged, but a little smoother and easier to navigate. This is an early release: the pack will be expanded gradually with new features and polish.

What you get right now

Performance

Sodium — Improves frame rates and makes the game feel smoother, especially on lower-end PCs, without changing how Minecraft looks at a glance.
Lithium — Optimizes how the game runs behind the scenes (world updates, mob AI, etc.) for better overall performance.

Quality of life

Just Enough Items (JEI) — Press R on an item to see how it’s crafted, or U to see what it’s used in. Handy if you’re new to crafting or don’t want to keep checking the wiki.
Mod Menu — Adds an in-game list of installed additions and their settings (gear icon on the title screen).

Required library

Fabric API — Technical dependency that lets the other features work together. You don’t need to configure it.

Who is this for?

Players who like survival, building, and exploring without huge gameplay overhauls
Anyone who wants better FPS and recipe lookup in one simple install
People looking for a pack that will grow over time rather than stay frozen at v1

Roadmap

Future updates may add more exploration, storage, and convenience features — always with the same goal: stay close to base Minecraft, just more comfortable to play.

Notes

Single-player and multiplayer friendly (server must allow the same components).
