Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 1.20–1.21.11Newest
Minecraft 1.16–1.19.4

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.19.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This pack is made for PvP and just overall smoother gameplay. It includes a low shield and removes the fishing bobber so your screen stays nice and clear during fights. Totem pops are smaller and powdered snow is more visible. It also has outlined ores to make mining easier, some small useful tweaks, and even a built-in brewing guide to help with potions. Super clean, simple, and just makes the game feel better whether you're PvPing or playing survival
