**\u26a0\ufe0f Still in Alpha**<\/p>\n
### \ud83c\udf3f Overview
\n**MC: Serene Edition** is a carefully crafted Vanilla+ modpack designed to make Minecraft smoother, prettier, and more immersive while keeping the familiar core gameplay intact. Whether you are exploring, building, or surviving, Serene Edition enhances every part of the experience without overwhelming you with unnecessary complexity. <\/p>\n
### \u2728 Key Features
\n– **Performance Optimizations**: Runs faster and more stable than vanilla with modern improvements under the hood.
\n– **Visual Upgrades**: Refreshed UI, improved textures, and subtle graphical tweaks for a cleaner and more modern look.
\n– **Natural Progression**: Adds balanced content that expands upon vanilla gameplay while preserving Minecraft\u2019s natural flow.
\n– **Immersive Atmosphere**: Calmer biomes, smoother animations, and an overall more relaxing aesthetic.
\n– **Water Management**: Water is no longer infinite, meaning you must carefully manage your supply and plan around rivers, lakes, and rainfall.
\n– **Nether Access Reworked**: Nether portals cannot be built freely. Travel to the Nether is only possible through ruined portals, tying progression to exploration and energy scarcity.
\n– **End Progression Overhaul**: The End can only be reached through the **End Remastered** system, making the journey more challenging and rewarding.
\n– **Revamped Effects**: Explosions, block breaking, particles, and many sound effects are completely reworked for a fresher, more impactful experience.
\n– **Quality of Life Improvements**: Smart tweaks that reduce tedium and enhance the survival experience without breaking balance. <\/p>\n
### \u26a1 Performance
\nSerene Edition is optimized to run smoothly even on mid-range systems. Tested on an **RTX 2060 Ti** with an **Intel i7 CPU** in the overworld: <\/p>\n
– **No Shaders + Distant Horizons (12 chunks)**: around **120 FPS** stable.
\n– **No Shaders + No Distant Horizons (32 chunks)**: around **60 FPS** stable.
\n– **With Shaders (no Distant Horizons, 12 chunks)**: around **60 FPS** stable.
\n– **With Shaders + Distant Horizons (12 chunks, high settings)**: around **45\u201360 FPS** depending on terrain and structures. <\/p>\n
Performance may vary depending on hardware, shaders, and background mods, but the pack is built with optimization in mind. <\/p>\n
