About this Modpack

Vanilla Refined is a performance-focused Vanilla+ modpack designed to make Minecraft smoother, clearer, and more enjoyable—without changing how the game plays. Every mod is carefully chosen to enhance quality of life, visuals, UI clarity, and overall performance while preserving the original Minecraft feel.

This pack features major performance boosters like Sodium, Lithium, Krypton, FerriteCore, Dynamic FPS, EntityCulling, BadOptimizations, VMP, and Distant Horizons, ensuring high FPS, faster loading, and stable gameplay even on large worlds or servers.
Quality-of-life upgrades such as AppleSkin, Controlling, Durability Tooltip, Gamma Utils, Searchables, Shulker Box Tooltip, BetterF3, Better Statistics Screen, and More Chat History help streamline the experience without changing the game’s balance.

Visual enhancements like Iris, LambDynamicLights, WaveyCapes, and Do a Barrel Roll, along with interface mods like Mod Menu, Reese’s Sodium Options, and YetAnotherConfigLib, create a clean, polished, and refined look.

Networking and stability improvements (e.g., PacketFixer, Debugify, Concurrent Chunk Management Engine, and Remove Reloading Screen) provide a smoother, more reliable experience both in singleplayer and multiplayer.

With Simple Voice Chat, Xaero’s Minimap and World Map, and compatibility libraries like Architectury, Cloth Config, and Fabric Language Kotlin, Vanilla Refined brings together the perfect blend of usability, performance, and immersion—while staying true to Minecraft’s core identity.

NOTE: 1.21.11 is lacking some mods on the regular list.

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).

Can I add custom mods to Vanilla Refined without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). 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.
