Vanilla Finest

The aim of this modpack is to provide the best possible vanilla compatible experience for PC and Mac. Enjoy a beautiful, fully optimized Minecraft without spending months to set it up.

There are Survival and Creative editions. Please go to the Versions tab and select which one you prefer. Creative=Survival + Axiom, Litematica, Flashback, WorldEdit, Picture Mode, Tweakeroo, Head Browser and Xaero's Maps

Key fetures:

• Opens and saves your existing Mineraft worlds from the original Minecraft folder
• It is compatible with your existing worlds
• Original vanilla experience with several quality of life improvements
• Runs well on both low- and high-end machines
• Beatiful graphics with and without shaders

Bundled presets:

• Voxy with Atmosherics without shader, see gallery
• Complementary Shaders for Best Graphics
• Mellow Shader for highest performance
• Bliss and Eclipse for classic medieval feel

You can switch on/off the shaders by pressing F12 at any time, or choose shaders with Control+F12.

Everything is fully configured

Only minimal setup is required:

• Please allocate at least 8GB of memory. (In Modrinth app click the bottom-left gear icon ⚙️ and go to Default Game Options.) On high-end systems 16GB is recommended.
• Copy the following parameters into Java arguments field just below the memory alloacation:

-XX:+UseShenandoahGC -XX:ShenandoahGCMode=generational -XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem

• 26.x runs well with Java 26, you can download it here: Adoptium Temurin
• Set your mouse sensitivity (Options/Controls/Mouse Settings)
• Choose your graphics preset in Options/Resource Packs

You can easily access exising worlds in your original Minecraft folder by pressing the folder with a "1" on it next to the Single Player button.

Important instructions when creating a new world:

• I recommend opening the original Minecraft folder with the "1" button and create a new world there, so you will access it from the unmodded game.
• You can create a new world without any additional datapacks. However, I highly recommend using one the Vanilla Finest's selection, by clicking on the More tab and than Data Packs button during world creation. These packs will be automatically copied into the world save folder, so if you open the world in native Minecraft using the Microsoft Launcher, they will be still there and fully functional!
