About this Modpack

This modpack was created to feature the mod "Fixed Minecraft", which gives a snapshot of what Minecraft could be like if there was a new balance to the game's core mechanics. To add some spice for those who are used to a modded experience, but trying to get back into Vanilla, Deeper and Darker was added alongside Immersive Portals (with its sister mods Pehkui and Gravity Changer API).

With custom resources and data packs to complement Xali's Potions and add parity with Deeper and Darker, Fixed Minecraft and Gravity Changer API, this modpack offers an integrated experience different from kitchen-sink modpacks.

Chock-full of performance mods and running on the lowest settings by default pretty much any computer should be able to run this well enough, but that doesn't mean it can't take advantage of more powerful systems-- Both Distant Horizons and Iris are featured as well. The modpack comes with BSL Shaders by default, as it's shown to be the most compatible with the included mods (Bliss Shaders is unfortunately quite glitchy with most of the mods that interact with rendering).

Using resource packs from creepermax123, Unearthed, and Vanilla Tweaks.
