about this modpack
Forge Maximize is an optimisation/utility modpack for Forge 1.20.1 specifically. It aims to enhance player experience with as few mods as possible. The point of this modpack is so you can start a modded Forge playthrough as fast as possible; you just throw this pack and never worry about it again, then you add any mod you want. You can also use it to play vanilla Minecraft.
