About this Modpack
Em's Vanilla Improved
A Vanilla+ Modpack by EBM3199
Hello! This is my very first publically released Minecraft Modpack!
If you are like me, you've probably installed a modpack, play for an hour or two and get completely burnt out. Now im not saying that won't happen here—but this is built for players who enjoy the vanilla feel of Minecraft but have played WAY too much of it.
🌍 World & Gameplay Enhancements:
Biomes O' Plenty – Gorgeous new biomes that still feel vanilla-friendly.
Copper Tools – Seriously, why aren’t these in vanilla already?
Set your home! - /sethome, /home commands.
Xaero's Minimap – Never get lost again, unless you want to.
MaCaw’s and Tomalbrc's Furniture mods– Add flair to your builds!
Better Animations & Sounds - Includes better camera mods, and other sound effect mods.
Tom's Simple Storage – A storage mods to keep your stuff organized.
Performance Mods - Sodium and other performance mods.
Custom Resource Packs - Custom Resource packs created by me!
Killer shaders for both performance & cinematics!
80+ other mods and counting!
Another huge thing in this pack is that Essential is built it in. Essential is a simple and easy to use multiplayer mod where you don't have to rent or use a server, just invite your friends and play!
Controller support is also built in for those weird people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Em's Vanilla Improved server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Em's Vanilla Improved server really need?
Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to Em's Vanilla Improved without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.5). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
Em's Vanilla Improved server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
