🌱 Core Philosophy
This pack keeps the vanilla survival progression intact—you still punch trees, mine diamonds, go to the Nether, beat the Ender Dragon—but removes friction and adds a clean, technical endgame through AE2.
Think:
- No magic progression trees
- No dozens of new ores cluttering caves
- No recipe chaos
Just vanilla gameplay → streamlined automation → digital storage mastery
🧰 Quality-of-Life Layer
These mods don’t change what you do, just how smooth it feels:
Inventory & UI
- JEI (Just Enough Items) – recipe lookup, essential once AE2 crafting gets complex
- Inventory Tweaks or modern equivalents – auto-sort, quick stacking
- Mouse Tweaks – drag crafting, fast inventory actions
Building & Interaction
- AppleSkin – shows hunger/saturation
- Clumps – reduces XP lag
- Waystones (optional, slightly non-vanilla feel) – fast travel without commands
Performance (important but invisible)
- Sodium – smoother FPS
- FerriteCore – reduces memory usage
These keep the experience feeling clean and modern without altering gameplay balance.
