Juanposo's Essential Vanilla
A QoL modpack for Vanilla built for modern Minecraft needs.
About this Modpack
Vanilla Minecraft With Essential and QoL mods, what's better than that?
🔥 Performance
It's main focus is performance, it runs great, period. Thanks to mods like Sodium and a lot more that I can't even count your game will run WAY better than Vanilla for sure.
👯♀️ Multiplayer
This ModPack includes the Essential Mod, which allows you to share your local worlds with other friends that use Essential, it also includes the Essential skin gallery. Besides, it includes a lot of optimizations for big & small servers (plus some quirks for offline users, but nobody told you that).
🌸 Quality of Life
It comes with Multiple mods that enhance the Vanilla experience to just be more comfy. Like the formentioned "Essential" mod, which allows you to play singleplayer with your friends, "Zoomify" for insane zoom activity, "Jade" for info of whatever you're looking at, and others that feel equally great 👌
😫 Seriously... ✨useful✨
This modpack is supposed to be the last modpack you should EVER use for Vanilla gaming, and it's thought with customizability in mind, thanks to mods like "Resourcify" and "Iris", you can install shaders, resource packs and data packs all within game! And if that's not enough, then Essential's skin gallery is for you! An in-game skin swithcer that allows you to have your own library of skins ready to change whenever you wanna, all without quitting the game, now that's ✨useful✨
🐧 Linux, Windows & MacOS Support
I Daily drove Linux for a while, so for this modpack to work on it is really important to me, but now I switched to MacOS and Windows on the Daily. It isn't really thought for now to make it work better on MacOS, but it still works, and now that I daily Windows for gaming, I can confirm that it works pretty great!
🤓 Reason for it's existence
I felt like Minecraft should come like this as default, resources are still very tedious to install, and something as simple as multiplayer is still insanely difficult for no real reason. So I decided to change that, cause I just wanted to play with friends, family and others and it just isn't possible as is, so that's why this exists :D
😅 What if I don't like Essential...
Don't worry! I have another ModPack that tries to bring the same functionality Essential does with alternatives, even though they're not as seamless, I tried my hardest to make it as similar and comfy as possible. It's not going to be as regularly updated as this one, but I'll try my best.
