Vanilla+ Modpack — Performance, Visuals & Quality of Life
A vanilla-friendly pack focused on smoother performance, improved visuals, and practical quality-of-life features.
β‘ Performance — Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, and ModernFix give noticeably better FPS and faster load times, even on weaker hardware. Entity Culling skips rendering for mobs/blocks you can't see.
π¨ Visuals — Iris Shaders lets you run shaderpacks for better lighting and water. EMF/ETF support custom mob models and textures via resource packs.
πΊοΈ Exploration — JourneyMap adds a minimap and full map view. Waystones let you set teleport points to skip long travel between bases.
π¦ Storage — Sophisticated Storage and Sophisticated Backpacks add upgradeable chests/backpacks with filters, auto-sorting, and stack upgrades. Mouse Tweaks and FTB Ultimine speed up moving and mining large amounts of blocks/items.
βοΈ Crafting — JEI shows recipes and item uses at a glance. Crafting Tweaks adds quick buttons to rotate or clear the crafting grid.
π Death Protection — GraveStone Mod creates a recoverable grave with your inventory on death — no more lost items in lava or the ocean.
π‘ Multiplayer Land Claims — FTB Chunks and FTB Teams let you claim chunks and form teams to protect your base from griefing.
βΉοΈ Other QoL — AppleSkin shows saturation in the HUD, Clumps merges XP orbs, Jade shows block/mob info on hover, and Trade Cycling resets villager trades more often.
