Captain Ratax's Vanilla Modpack
Just the modpack I normally use on my Vanilla Minecraft Server.
About this Modpack
A vanilla-friendly modpack built around the way I like to play on vanilla servers, with a focus on visuals, ambience, performance, quality of life, and a cleaner overall experience.
It keeps the core Minecraft feeling, while making the game smoother, prettier, and more immersive.
