Manila vanilla
A Vanilla Enhanced experience.
About this Modpack
Manila Vanilla is meant to emulate the vanilla experience closely, while offering some Quality of Life enhancements and some changes to the game's function. No new blocks, mobs, or items. The goal of the modpack is to be able to remove all the mods and still use that world as a vanilla world without there being significant changes.
There are plans for continued updates overtime with new mods and changes.
Currently the changes are minimal, but noticeable in different ways giving a more positive experience of the joy that is the gameplay loop of Minecraft.
The biggest improvements is a toggleable map system, clear water (without shaders), and less punishing deaths.
All of this being configureable of course.
Installation recommendations:
Mods - Optifine and Farsight
Resource Packs - Emissive TXF
