Sky's Vanilla

Introduction

Hey you! Yes you, dear stranger, who enjoys playing vanilla Minecraft alone or on a server with your friends™, have you ever stopped to think that Minecraft has a rather bland visual style and clunky gameplay? Do you like the visuals and feel of modded minecraft but don't want to commit to playing in a modded instance, only to have to start over as mojang continues to add new stuff to the game?

N-no? Oh well...

Maybe it's just me, But in case it isn't I hereby present you with a compilation of mods considered "essential" by yours truly to relax and have a cozy time while playing minecraft in your forever world after a long day.

Features

Animations

• Fresh Animations (Resource pack), Punchy and Fancy World Animations work together to make the world come alive providing a gameplay experience more satisfying to look at and interact with.

Shaders

• Euphoria Patches with Complementary improves the game's lighting by orders of magnitude while still retaining the game's blocky aesthetics. I recommend using generated normals and pixelated shadows if your computer can handle it, but as always you are free to customize everything to your liking.

• Other shader options included are Photon as well as Mellow and MakeUp - Ultra Fast to better accommodate lower end computers.

GUI

• Inventory Essentials adds better functionality to managing your storages, my favorite feature being the ability to drag your mouse over items to place them in chests.

• Immersive Hotbar adds a few animations of the items in your hotbar to make it fancier.

• Smooth Gui, subtle animations when opening and closing interfaces (inventory, pause menu, crafting table, etc)

• Dark Coffe Gui (Resource pack) and Recolorful Containers (Resource pack) as options to change from the vanilla simple gray interface. Pay attention to the order you place their respective optional addons.

• Enchanted Books: Re-covered (Resource pack) to give a unique sprite to each enchanted book.

• Item interactions mod

Sound

• Ambient Sounds and Sound Physics Remastered for more immersion in forests as well as underground.

Inventory management

• ClickTrough Plus allows you to right click through signs and item frames to access chests behind them, making it much easier to organize your storage room. I like to combine it with Invisible Item Frames (Resource pack) to use renammed blocks to mark chests. (You can use f3+B to see where the item frames are at).

• Shulker Box Tooltip

Extra functionality

• Scribble Gives you full access to customize text in books using minecraft's own markdown system (Using the double page view mode also makes it better to read trough).

Details

• 3D Skin Layers

• Invisible Player Armor (An invisible armor resource pack would make armor in mobs invisible as well, so this mod was chosen instead)

• Particular adds a variety of particle effects to the game.

Building Tools

• Axiom Basically blender if it was built in minecraft, extremely useful to build in creative.

• Litematica to help you bring said creative blueprints to your survival world.

Miscellaneous

• Mod Menu Allows you to configure installed mods directily in game trough the "Mods" button in the pause menu.

Optimisation

• Sodium for rendering optisation.
• Lithium for general optimisation.

There are many other optimisation mods out there, however the scope of this modpack is to preserve vanilla game mechanics as much as possible, thus thease are the only 2 included in the pack. You as always is free to try and add other mods to your instance, but keep in mind the pack has not been play tested with other mods.

• Spark allows you to figure out what is causing you lag should you encounter it. (Disabled by default)

Dependencies

• Fabric API (Required for Axiom, Fancy World Animations, Inventory Essentials, Immersive Hotbar, Ambient Sounds, ClickTrough Plus, 3D Skin Layers, Mod Menu)

• Iris Shaders (Required run shader packs)

• CreativeCore (Required for Ambient Sounds)

• [EMF] Entity Model Features and [ETF] Entity Texture Features (Required for Fresh Animations)

• YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) (Required for Immersive Hotbar)

• Balm (Required for Inventory Essentials)

• MaLiLib (Required for Litematica)

• Text Placeholder API (Required for Mod Menu)

• BaguetteLib _(Required for Particular

Notes

All mods included are completelly optional, if you don't like any one of them, you should be able to disable it no problem.

Once the mods included start supporting newer versions of minecraft, the pack will also be ported to the latest possible version. If a few of the mods don't update, a temporary alternative may be included in the latter versions instead.
