This modpack is based on the set of mods I'd personally always install on every Minecraft world I'd play through. The goal of this pack is not to substantially change the way the game works, but enhance the gameplay that already exists. ![Smaller header banner titled "Performance"](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/27b61e6415bc7d80e8d557b90ed623768e240850.png) The amount of mods installed might be more than double that of [Fabulously Optimized](https://modrinth.com/modpack/fabulously-optimized), but it's competitive performance make it a standout choice for a more enhanced gameplay experience. ![An image showing three fps counts, comparing Vanilla (114 fps), Fabulously Optimized (285 fps), and RME's Better Vanilla (270 fps)](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/f65851a9045a683b72035e9c78095486424794fb_0.webp) _Image for illustrative purposes only. Fps was captured on an Apple M3 Pro._ The pack is based on a core of performance mods that hugely increase the performance on every machine Because of that the pack does not only have great performance, but also has almost all features from OptiFine! This means that if your resource pack tells you it requires OptiFine it will work in this modpack 99.5% of the time.

⚠️ Important!
By default the modpack comes with the Distant Horizons mod installed, as I believe it is the way that Minecraft is meant to be played. However not everyone's setup can handle it. It is set to be as little taxing as possible, however if you notice that your performance is low make sure to disable it.

![Smaller header banner titled "Features"](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/9ed92e94749babcf03347118a0a20ac3f9b6049d.png) On top of that core of performance mods the modpack includes several quality-of-life improvement mods and visual enhancement mods that complement the vanilla Minecraft experience. These additions include better animations, improved sounds, little effects, handy hotkeys, and free capes! This pack is designed to work everywhere. Whether it's your personal creative world, your friend's survival server, or a big minigame server. Although the mods should be fine on more than 90% of the servers **always make sure the server allows them!** As mentioned before, Distant Horizons is a big component of this pack. While the default settings I've included should run smoothly on most computers, I encourage you to experiment and push the mod to its limits. ![An in game screenshot showing a far stretched world, using the Distant Horizons mod](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/BC8x5ugb/images/78a59260a8a97978963657a75146e939a8af5271.png) ![Smaller header banner titled "Customisability"](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/bbc6df9946a26097352294835841fad6758d1576.png) This modpack is made to be customised. Whether it's with a resource pack, shaders or adding/replacing mods completely. Make it yours! Included are some packs in spirit of the better vanilla idea, however none of them are total overhauls. The pack otherwise features no shaders for now, though I am open to include one in the future. Lastly the pack has some included configurations for mods that are not included in the pack. The reason for this is because I deemed some of them to be too heavily outside of the vanilla spirit, but recognise many players (including me) often do use those mods. So I made configurations for them to completely fit the pack in case you do install them yourself.

💡 Hint!
If you want to use your favourite resource pack with this modpack, make sure to add as second to the list if you want to keep the bushy leaves!
