bmalo's Custom Vanilla Plus
Custom Modpack for server so things work perfectly
About this Modpack
For a minecraft server I run for a friend group. Currently targetting 1.20.6
Not required since can use Vanilla client to connect but there is some exclusive things this provides.
Based on the Fabulously Optimized modpack but I've added and removed quite a few mods. Feel free to add back any mod from it you think should be in this pack.
If anyone is curious the server runs a seperate modpack since I didn't want to include mods which people won't be directly using when playing multiplayer.
