About this Modpack
What is this?
The Mostly Vanilla Client modpack is an optimized QOL vanilla-compatible modpack. Packed with the optimizations and features of additive, it contains many quality of life changes, helping to make inventory management, travel, and communication more seamless, allowing you to focus on what matters. On top of all this, it uses several shaders, resource packs, and mods to improve the visuals and terrain generation, while trying to stay true to the vanilla feel.
It was made to work hand in hand with my server pack.
All the features are, of course, optional, so if you don’t like a feature, or want to add your favourite mod, I’m certainly not stopping you.
“Can I base my modpack off of this?”, sure! Just make sure to link back to this modpack, credit additive, and follow the terms and conditions of the GNU GPL v3 linked in the "Technical Information" section
Note: this modpack contains the mod “do a barrel roll”, disabled by default. It is known to cause motion sickness in some users and can be annoying to others. If you think that it is your cup of tea, just enable it, and have fun. Otherwise, just leave it off, and play as normal
The Mostly Vanilla Client is based on additive

With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Mostly Vanilla Client without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21). 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.
Mostly Vanilla Client server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
