Smoother Adventures+
A modified version of Better Adventures+ which adds optimization mods to hopefully help with lag.
About this Modpack
Modified version of Better Adventures+
Better Adventures+ is a very good and well made modpack, but as you most likely know, the creator of the modpack (flowstate) as a NASA PC, which means he doesn't require performance mods like me and some others to run the modpack smoothly. This modpack aims to hopefully boost performance for the modpack by about 2 times (Benchmark at the bottom of the description).
Changes include: Disabling every resource pack that changes textures dramatically (not fresh animations), Changed sodium settings to be on the lowest settings possible without making the game look terrible. If you think your computer can handle the max resource packs and other things, feel free to bump everything up. This modpack is built for the people that really really need it.
Enjoy the Modpack!

FAQ:
How do I improve performance when playing this modpack?
- Reducing shader quality settings or outright disabling shaders can help immensely, or disabling Voxy rendering. BA+ is a very lightweight modpack besides these two features, which are both clientsided meaning you can disable them if it is too taxing on your computer.
Is there a server-sided only version of this modpack that I can use for my server?
Not currently, but BA+ has been specifically designed to use on the FlowSMP which is a multiplayer server operated by flowstate. Check out flowstate's Discord if you are interested.
My camera is floaty, how do I fix this?
You probably hit Y, which is the default key for cinematic camera
How do I toggle the first person model off/how do I go into third person mode?
