Entropy: Vanilla+
A lightweight, optimised vanilla+ modpack aiming for ease of learning and fan-requested changes.
About this Modpack
!
This modpack has available versions for pre-1.19.4 available on CurseForge under the same name. You can use this link to take you to this modpacks CurseForge page. Only major releases will be ported to CurseForge, and may include minor resource differences due to licensing.
I will not be backporting this pack in the future, and I will not be making a version for Forge. However, you are more than welcome to plagiarise the design of the pack to create your own modpacks that achieve a similar, or even the same, results in-game.
!
Entropy: Vanilla+ began as a lightweight offshoot of my modpack Entropy for Forge, but as the vision of Entropy shifted and as the benefits of Fabric for lightweight modpacks became more apparent, their creative direction drifted apart. Nowadays the goal of EVP is to provide minimal gameplay additions, and plentiful gameplay tweaks, to enhance the Minecraft experience without radically changing it in such a way that makes it jarring or difficult to learn for new players.
The pack is very lightweight and is intended to have a friendly learning curve for newcomers to mods, as most of the mods in the pack are simple tweaks, intuitive and non-invasive content, or otherwise easy and quick to learn. The material in this modpack is added and managed with the following in mind:
!
-Optimize the performance of Minecraft.
-Introduce very few major mechanics to the game, this modpack should be easily learnable to a new player as "tweaked vanilla".
-Improve the vanilla experience without radically changing it. This includes quality of life and minor/intuitive changes, but does not include things like massive tech mods or things that don't "feel" vanilla.
-Raise the presentation quality of the game without breaking from the Minecraft experience.
-Include massive performance gains, (optional) extra HUD elements, GUI improvements, and other visual information enhancements (none of them are cheaty, though!)
Updates:
-Thank you for 800 downloads on CurseForge! It means a lot to me!
-Several content mods are removed in the 1.2/1.1.1 update [Beta 090721a and onwards]! This will remove things like Gentle Fauna, Netherite Plus, and a few others! Back up your worlds before updating from earlier versions in case something important gets removed that you cannot replace! [Disregard for Modrinth users]
-If you can't find a release version for 1.18, that's not a skill issue. There was never enough time to finalise a finished version for 1.18 due to life being extremely busy. The published beta works, but is subject to jank and being incomplete.
-If you want to help develop the modpack, go ahead and shoot me a message here or add me on Discord at Mikoshi#3301.

Frequently Asked Questions
Entropy: Vanilla+ 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 6 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 Entropy: Vanilla+ server really need?
Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 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 €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Entropy: Vanilla+ without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.19.4). 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.
Entropy: Vanilla+ server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 6 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.
