About this Modpack
MerVik’s Vanilla+
A lightweight Fabric client modpack with 50+ mods focused on performance, quality-of-life improvements, and optional visual enhancements while preserving the vanilla Minecraft experience.

Performance first
This pack significantly improves FPS, reduces stuttering, and fixes many vanilla engine issues using modern optimization mods. Designed for smooth performance on low- and mid-end systems while scaling well on powerful PCs.
Vanilla+ visuals
Optional shaders, dynamic lighting, improved weather, particles, animations, and connected textures enhance the game’s visuals without changing its vanilla feel.

Quality of life
Includes small but impactful improvements such as zoom, better chat, shulker previews, freecam, NBT tools, and a cleaner mod menu — making gameplay more convenient and smooth.

Works everywhere
This is a client-side modpack with no gameplay-altering content, making it compatible with most servers and singleplayer worlds.

Built on Fabric
