About this Modpack

A Fabric Modpack with a small optimization footprint, built to be vanilla friendly, packaged with a resource pack & shader pack to create a fully desaturated Minecraft experience!

The point of this pack is to have a fun and unique experience with Vanilla Minecraft. Mining for ores is an exciting find everytime (unless you weren't wanting all that copper you found...). Building with different varieties of blocks is a fun exercise in design with different shades and tones. Mobs will surprise you and exploration will startle you.

One of the best things to do in this pack is play on a world for a few hours, or even over a few days, and then turn off the Resource & Shader Packs to look at the world with a whole new perspective of color!

The fabric mods included are purely for optimization, helping Minecraft run with ease, or are in the pack to create the full desaturated experience in all corners of the game! Full modlist below.

The Texture Pack desaturates all blocks, items, and entities. Some items are not desaturated due to my limited understanding of overlays in the resource pack system. This is corrected by the included shader pack and settings.

The Shader Pack applies a colorless palette to all items in the visual world. There is some color in hot bar and inventories, but nothing shows up in the game world with color.
