Vanilla Finest

I still recommend the 26.1.2 stable Minecraft version over 26.2 (and 26.3 snapshots)

Major changes:

• Friends aked me to enable all mods by default (except Too Many Entities, see below)
• Replaced Armor Stand Arms with the fully fledged Armor Stands editor
• LiteMatica is included by default for schematics (blueprint) based survival building
• Xaero's Minimap and Map are included, not displayed by default. I suggest to turn them off for the authentic survival experience and better performance
• Replaced Shoulder Surfing with Leawind's Third Person for smoother experience and better controls

New keybinds:

• M: Xaero's World Map
• N: New Waypoint
• B: LiteMatica (Blueprint)
• J: Autojump on/off toggle
• Y/Z: Crawl
• H: Help, Wiki page
• G: Screenshot Gallery
• Right Alt + Mouse Wheel: set creative flight speed

Function keys:

• F4: Freecam
• F6/Control+F6: Accurate Block Placement, Fast Block Breaking toggle
• F7/Control+F7: Next Music Track, Music on/off toggle
• F8/Control+F8: Light Level Overlay/First Person Lighting toggle
• F9/Control+F9: Jade on/off, Show own NameTag
• F10: Minimap on/off
• F12/Control+F12/Alt+F12: Shader on/off, Shader Selection Menu, Atmospherics Menu

In F5 3rd Person view:

• Arrow keys: Elytra Contrail on/off and twirls
• Alt+Mouse:reposition cursor
• Alt+Mouse Wheel: change camera distance
• X: targeting mode

Graphical changes:

• Mellow shader is back with a new version for maximum shader performance
• Added and tuned Air Haze in Atmospherics
• Powdered Snow has been replaced by Visible Powdered Snow for less distracting but still visible difference
• Corrected Just Expression, it was added the wrong order in the resource pack list, sorry for the mistake.

Other changes:

• Removed Axiom, does not fit the vanilla survival concept, I plan a full Creative version of the pack
• Replaced SimpleHUD and Light Overlay with MiniHUD
• Added Deeper Oceans to the Vanilla+++ Datapack preset
• Jade is enabled with F9 toggle, so Bookshelf Inspector is not needed
• Horseman is back
• Took out Particle Core: while works well with AsyncParticles, not much additional benefit found
• Added Structure Layout Optimizer, mostly for Vanilla++ and Vanilla+++ datapack profiles.
• Added Async Logger that filters out unnecessary logs
• More Culling is replaced by Cull leaves
• Removed Not Enough crashes as we had issues with it
• Too Many Entities is added but disabled by default. It can avoid slowdowns when large number of entities are visible in a farm while Fresh Animation is enabled, but needs further testing how much micro-stutters are caused.
