AAG Essentials
Enhanced Gameplay + Optimization. Carefully selected and extensively tested, combination of different mods in this modpack will help to improve the performance and gameplay.
About this Modpack
AAG Essentials modpack focusses on enhancing the vanilla experience of Minecraft at the same time keeping in mind to optimize the performance of Minecraft on fabric.
All of the mods from AAG Optimized are included in this modpack so you will never miss the necessary optimizations. All mods included in this modpack are carefully selected and extensively tested.
Some people like vanilla experience while others may prefer to enhance the experience with more features or practicle solutions which makes game more enjoyable. No combination of mods are ever good enough for enhancing the gameplay experience as everyone may have different requirements at their end, but we have carefully made this modpack with combination of mods in a way that will help most of the users to enjoy Minecraft in a more practicle way.
This modpack will help in performance and fps boost also in most of the cases, but in some cases if the hardware you are running on is too old or incompatible, then it may not give you desired results. Blindly installing any combination of mods results in very less performance most of the time, so you can be assured that by installing AAG Essentials, you will not be sacrificing much (negligible) on the performance side while enjoying the enhanced gameplay at the same time.
NOTE This modpack includes nvidium mod which supports only Nvidia GPUs (16xx onwards). If you do not have a Nvidia GPU, then this mod will not be used automatically.
Supported Version 1.20.1
