What this is about

We are a gaming clan with the idea to play vanilla for some variety but wanted a few extras. We chose some quality of life mods (see list below) and decided to start playing. What you basically get is a vanilla Minecraft with some mods that make playing more enjoyable.

Improve graphics quality

This part is not about video settings, but about other things I can recommend:

R3D CRAFT: 32px, 64px, 128px, 256px, 512px
Up to date SEUS Shaders

I simply can't include these in this pack because - R3D CRAFT is just released for Minecraft Version 1.12-Snapshot which isn't the same as 1.12.2 and so Twitch doesn't allow to install this "out of date version" - Up to date SEUS Shaders are not available for free download

Some of the enhancements

Power Drop: throw items over long distance
VeinMiner: Mine multiple blocks of the same type at once
ClassicCombat: get back the old combat system #nice
Backpacks: Carry more stuff
Better Builder's Wands: Get Wands to place multiple Blocks at once
IronChests: Get bigger chests to store your items
Dynamic Trees: Have more realistic trees, if you cut them you will get an animation of the tree falling down (don't let it hit you, you will probably be killed)
Watering cans: help your plants grow
Chunkloaders: Have everything going on while you're away
MalisisDoors: More dynamic doors / saloon doors and even bigger (3x3) doors
BetterPortals: watch through a portal and easily walk through it (watching through doesn't work with shaders)
Hwyla: Get information about what you're looking at (fork of waila)
JustEnoughItems: see crafting recipies ingame
Morpheus: Set a rate how many players have to go to bed to sleep
OpenComputers: Really nice Computers, similar but more advanced than ComputerCraft
Project Red: Smaller and better redstone wires and much more
SimpleHarvest: Harvest plants by rightclicking them
Most important: PartyParrots: watch Parrots having the time of their life
