FAQ

Q: Is there support for a version other than 1.21?
A: There most likely will be support for versions after 1.21, but it will likely take a while for the updates to roll in due to the modpack having ~100 mods.

Q: Forge?
A: plz no

Q: Will this run on my machine?
A: For the most part, yeah! Even though this modpack has ~100 mods, none of them are too heavyweight.. This, along with the fact that there are a ton of optimizations mods, makes for an experience almost everyone can enjoy no matter their hardware.

Q: Where are the shaders?
A: I decided not to add native shaders to this. No need to worry though! The modpack still has Iris so you can add your own shaders and customize them however you feel. However, keep in mind that not all the mods here have shader support, which can cause visual bugs and artifacts.

Can I add custom mods to Vanilla Squared 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.
