\nSimplyVanilla has as many QoL features as you need, while still feeling like they should be in the vanilla game.
\n### HUGE Focus on immersion
\nWith multiple mods, such as ambient sounds and subtle effects, it immerses you in the world you’re playing on
\n### Client side
\nEven with the teeming amount of additions, you can still play on serves or with those that don’t use SimplyVanilla **[LAN does break tho]**
\n### Semi-frequent updates
\nAs a solo person in this project, I try to keep up to date with official game and mod updates.<\/p>\nFrequently Asked (noobie) Questions<\/summary>\n
