This Modpack has been active since Minecraft 1.18.2. Its evolved so much since then. Modpack development takes a lot of time, and I've taken on a lot more in other areas of life. And for that reason I've been slowly stepping back from updating wich has resulted in an out of date version. I'm writing this right befroe version 1.7 for MC 1.21.8 releases. I'm not going to be able to promise anything, but I will try and keep an updated version for the latest Minecraft version. So every Minecraft update, there might be a new version of Optimized Craft.
On that note, the latest verson 1.7 for MC 1.21.8 has 3 different editions.
Standard Edition (83 mods): Regular Optimized Craft. This is what this pack has always aimed to be; a blend of masive preformance gains while improving the expirence of playing on Vanilla through shaders, resource packs, graphic mods, and new features. All without changing any of the gameplay of Minecraft. This means that Optimized Craft will never add any game features that would change what a vanilla client would experience. So you can alternate between using this pack and vanilla on the same world, also you can play on any vanilla server. This edition is designed with the average player in mind.
Enhanced Edition (96 mods): Optimized Craft pushed to provide the Ultimate Minecraft Experience. This is everything that the standard edition is, exept a heavier focus on graphics, and features this means a slight reduction of preformance for the amazing features such as distant horizens (Crazy high render distanes using LOD technology), Essestial mod (adding the ability to play with freinds over the internet withought having to setup a server), Controlable (addign controler support), and so much more. This edition is designed with more powerful computers in mind.
Potato Edition (42 mods): Optimized Craft Stripped to its core. This is literly just all optimization mods under the sun that actually provide preformance increases and are stable. There are also a couple mods that I cant live without but they have non-existant preformance impacts such as Enitty Model Features, Entity Texture Features, Cubes Without Borders, Iris Shaders, MacOS Input Fixes, Mod Menu, and Model Gap Fix. This edition is designed for the computers that can hardly run any game. I recomend trying Standard Edition before settling on this edition, because Standard Edtion has a lot of cool features.
