TLDR of Noteworthy Features:


SpEx is a lightweight modpack focused on client performance, originally based around Simply Optimized with additions from the whitelist of the Civilization Specialization Experiment run by CivLabs.

Its premise is simple, to be a small QoL modpack based around vanilla intended to be used for large multiplayer servers, featuring mods like Sodium and Lithium to heavily boost performance.
Other features include 3D Player Skins, Bobby, and Shaders to enhance the graphics. A preconfigured Bindcommands is also included with commands from the server already binded.

This modpack is intended for large civilization servers but can work fine as a base for singleplayer modding or use on other popular servers.
