Ranked Optimized

Extreme optimization, for the best performance for PvP or SMPs, w/ mods you'll need for an advantage without cheats or hacks. Reach high ranked tiers in modes like Crystal, Mace, Sword, Pot, Hoplite, Hypixel etc with Sodium and more in one mod pack, reaching fast amounts of FPS.

🚀 Quick Start Guide

- Keybinds: All keybinds are fully reset so you can configure them yourself.
- RAM Allocation: Optimized for 10GB RAM. Allocating more (like 14GB) often causes Garbage Collection to stutter; 10GB is the current stable recommendation.
- Performance Toggle: If you are on an older PC (pre-2012 GPU), remove ThreatenGL to avoid crashes.
- Configuration: Most mods are pre-configured and require no changes unless desired.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change anything after downloading?
Yes, but not much. You'll only have to put your personal settings; FOV, sensitivity, controls. The rest is already configured and set up for the most optimized gameplay experience.

My mods are not updated; should I update the mods?
No, we highly do not recommend updating the mods as we've picked out the most stable and compatible versions of each mod, for maximum performance. We do not recommend mindlessly updating all mods. They are this way as intended and resolve other issues from arising.

Why is my UI dark and my hand item small, etc?
This modpack has pre-installed resource packs. Please, check your resource packs before playing.

I want to suggest a mod but it crashes the modpack; can you include the mod in the next version?
Feel free to contact us on Discord by messaging @Secps, and we'll look into your request. Chances are if the mod isn't conflicting with the core of the modpack, not already added etc, and we approve of it, we'll add it!

Game crashes on startup?
If you are using a GPU made before 2012, you must remove the ThreatenGL mod from the folder.

Is this pack bannable?
No, as it uses "Fair Play" mods and optimizations. However, use ClienThings with caution as it MAY be banned on some servers.

Why 8-10GB RAM?
Allocating 14GB+ causes stutters during garbage collection*; 10GB is the stable sweet spot for this pack.
