Overview
This is my take on the typical 'Optifine replacement' modpack while also adding what I consider to be must-have utility, QoL, and visual/audio improvements. All client-side so you can play on multiplayer servers.
Performance
You'll find a lot of the most popular optimization mods here, the main one being Sodium. All together, it should run as good as or better than Optifine.
Optifine Parity
There are mods to replace pretty much all of Optifine's features.
Utility/QoL
There are a number of utility/quality-of-life mods, including zooming, freecam, a minimap and worldmap, command macros, and more.
Visual/Audio
This modpack includes shaders, 3D skin layers, new ambient noises, new footstep sounds, falling leaves, popping bubbles, dynamic lights, eating animations, and more.
