**Do you feel that Vanilla just isn’t as fun as it once was? Do you have that urge to play, but you quit within minutes? Is it just not the same anymore?**<\/p>\n
I made a mod pack to capture the feeling of discovering Minecraft again, where it’s your first night again. Making Minecraft more immersive and beautiful was the goal.<\/p>\n
This mod pack is both performance and QOL heavy.<\/p>\n
Due to all the extra mods to make the game feel more modern and alive, this also includes pretty much every mod I could find to improve performance, along with a lot of QoL\/Bug fixes and tweaks that veterans and newbies would like.<\/p>\n
A quick Vanilla vs VPP comparison (2560×1440)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my first mod pack, and as issues arise, I will be updating it semi-frequently.<\/p>\n

# FAQ<\/p>\n
> Q. Is this mod compatible with vanilla servers?<\/p>\n
– A. 99% of them will work on servers with a few exceptions like the tabs feature on Inventory Profiles Next(disabled by default), etc.<\/p>\n
> Q. Why is there so much bloat?<\/p>\n
– A. It’s a mix of QOL and performance, and really, if you’re looking for performance, just install Sodium and Lithium. (Or download a performance focused pack) They do about 80-90% of the work on their own. Everything else is just a bigger number contest.<\/p>\n
> Q. Can I share this mod pack?<\/p>\n
– A. By all means! Just add a link back to this page. Thanks!<\/p>\n
