About this Modpack
Snek's Enhanced Vanilla
A modpack that aims to improve Minecraft Vanilla without changing its core mechanics or adding content that feels out of place. Ideal for Vanilla players who enjoy the original feel but want a cleaner experience. Great for small or private servers :3
This pack adds:
- Optimization mods for both the server and client
- QOL features such as mass move and crafting, vein mine and tree felling
- Better sounds and visual improvements
- Technical mods to aid building and designing redstone contraptions
- Tom's Storage as an alternative to Vanilla's chests
- Social interactions: player heads in chat, player leashing, headpats, pinging
- Vertical slabs! And no Phantoms!
For redstone engineers
Mob AI, block properties, player interactions, loot tables and redstone behaviour match those of Vanilla, aside from a few minor changes:
- Endermen are not able to pick up or place blocks
- Phantoms have been removed
- The "use item" action can harvest crops. Farmland can't be trampled by mobs or players
- Experience orbs are merged automatically. This bypasses the vanilla xp absorption rate limit
This modpack includes Tweakeroo, Litematica, World Edit, Technical Utilities, MiniHUD, Carpet Mod, Carpet Extra.
