Axon
Axon is a semi-vanilla Minecraft modpack that includes some optimization mods, along with a extra mods that don't change major parts of the game. We recommend using it if you have a Mac and have trouble with other optimization modpacks. It also works well on Linux, but it has not been tested on Windows because we do not have access to a Windows computer at the moment. We do not recommend joining larger servers with this modpack enabled as they may ban something like Zoomify or Xaero's Minimap
Sodium, Lithium, Exordium, EntityCulling, C2ME: Increase the performance of the game greatly, especially on lower end hardware.
LambDynamicLights: Adds Optifine-like dynamic lighting to any glowing item in your hand.
Sodium Extra + Reese's Sodium Options: These add a plethora of features to sodium, such as the ability to enable more FPS info and show coordinates.
No Chat Reports: Removes message signing on servers that have it enabled, preventing chat reporting.
Debugify: Fixes almost 100 bugs listed in Minecraft's bug tracker. (this is genuinely amazing for Mac users)
Auth Me: Allows you to (re-)authenticate your account when needed instead of having to close your Minecraft instance.
Iris Shaders: Allows you to enhance the game's graphics with shader packs on a capable computer.
Zoomify: Adds another Optifine feature, the zoom button (Replaces Ok Zoomer which replaced Zoomify)
Xaero's Minimap: Adds a fully featured minimap to the game.
Xaero's World Map: Adds a fully featured world map to the game.
Smaller mods and APIs: Indium, Cloth Config API, BetterF3, Server Pack Unlocker, AntiGhost
