# \ud83d\udcc3 **Vanilla Client Side**
\n*A performance-first, information-rich client pack for Paper & vanilla servers*<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udf1f Why this pack exists<\/p>\n
Most \u201cFPS + visuals\u201d packs chase eye-candy shaders.
\n**Vanilla Paper Edition** has a different target audience:<\/p>\n
> **\u2776 Keep the frames high** (Sodium, Lithium, etc.)
\n> **\u2777 Show more useful data** (food saturation, tool durability, redstone power, light levels\u2026)
\n> **\u2778 Stay visually vanilla** \u2014 just clearer GUIs & icons, no cinematic post-processing.<\/p>\n
It started while speed-running redstone builds on public Paper servers where shaders are pointless but extra on-screen info is gold.<\/p>\n

## \u26a0\ufe0f Server-policy notes<\/p>\n
| Mod | What it changes | Possible rule conflicts |
\n|—–|—————–|————————-|
\n| **BactroMod** | Full-bright gamma, hides fog, fire & pumpkin overlay | Some PvP\/adventure servers ban full-bright & no-fog \u2014 toggle these off if disallowed. |
\n| **Xaero\u2019s Minimap \/ World Map** | Entity radar & cave mode | If minimaps are restricted, switch to **Xaero\u2019s Minimap \u2013 Fair-Play Edition** (no entity\/cave radar). |<\/p>\n
*When in doubt, ask staff or disable the features from the in-game config.*<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udcac Philosophy<\/p>\n
– **Performance first** \u2013 every addition is benchmarked; anything costing >\u22485 FPS is culled.
\n– **Information over decoration** \u2013 clearer textures & GUIs, not cinematic shaders.
\n– **Server friendly** \u2013 no cheats, x-ray or automation helpers; just clarity and comfort.<\/p>\n
