Renice Squared is a lightweight modpack for players who want useful HUD improvements, basic QoL features, and better performance without powerful tools that may be considered unfair on public servers.

Main Features

Lightweight compared to Renice Cubed

This modpack keeps the lighter side of Renice Cubed, but without mods that give an unfair advantage. Compared to Renice Cubed, Renice Squared does not include stronger client utilities such as maps, schematic tools, precise block placement, technical overlays, recipe browsers, or advanced gameplay tweak systems.

Choose Renice Squared if you want:

Better performance
Fewer powerful utility tools
A simpler setup for large public servers

Choose Renice Cubed if you want a larger client setup with navigation, building tools, recipe browsing, and technical overlays.

UI&HUD

Renice Squared improves the information you see during regular gameplay. It shows hunger and saturation values, food recovery previews, effect duration bars, and a better riding HUD that keeps your food bar and mount health visible while mounted.

It also adds configurable zoom, a much longer chat scrollback, faster language switching, 2160p screenshot support even if you don't have a 4K screen, and cleaner access to settings and mod configs.
