what is this?

this is a client side vanilla modpack that aims to improve performance while also adding small QOL and visual enhancements to the game!

since this modpack doesnt include content mods, you can play this in any world or server! please feel free to add any other mods you like too as ive only included the bare minimum of what i think is close enough for a vanilla experience.

updates

currently this modpack is incomplete for 1.20.4. i am waiting for a couple visual enhancement mods to be updated, and when they do ill come back to update this modpack :D

java arguments

(recommended) for people with Shenandoah enabled OpenJDK, such as AdoptOpenJDK

-Xms#G -Xmx#G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseShenandoahGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+DisableExplicitGC

add the amount of ram you want to allocate in the '#' of -Xms#G -Xmx#G

notes

this modpack was only tested in a windows environment, but it should still work for other platforms

• this modpack includes nvidium for high render distances and chunk caching, but only works if you have an nvidia gpu. remove this if you dont have one.
• to increase default render distance, configure in bobby settings in modmenu
• some graphics settings are changed in the options. feel free to look over them and change to your liking
