About this Modpack
Minecraft Squared
Minecraft Squared (Minecraft^2 or MC^2 for short.) is a mostly vanilla-like mod pack to enhance your Minecraft experience! It is built off of my performance and quality of life mod pack Argon. I suggest taking a look at it to get a better understanding of what it adds. This mod pack adds lots of new biomes to the overworld, end, and nether, new mobs and mob variants, weapons, blocks, and food!
Other Information
There are a few other things you may need to know about this mod pack.It comes pre-loaded with a few shader packs and resource packs. You do not have to enable them, but I would recommend you use the better beds one (To actually see the effects. I personally like the detailed + connected beds.) The Vanilla Tweaks one is from the website Vanilla Tweaks. (Duh) I recommend checking that out if you want your own pack, otherwise, you can choose to use mine which comes pre-loaded with some nice options I personally like.
If you want to see how high the FPS can get, you'll need to disable VSYNC and set the FPS cap to unlimited, otherwise, it will usually try to cap the FPS at your monitor's refresh rate. This is usually what you want as you will not see higher FPS, but you can disable it to see higher numbers.
If you want to learn more about something, you will need to see which mod it comes from and then read up on that specific mod. It is not realistic for me right now to compile information on everything from every mod. Maybe, if this gets really popular I will, but for now you will have to do your own research.
This mod pack is still in Beta, I am still testing to ensure compatibility and stability. However, neither can be guaranteed.
For a full mod, resource pack, texture pack, and shaderpack list, check the version!

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). 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.
