Welcome to xolotelx's Expanded Vanilla! This is a small-ish modpack that I created with the help of a few of my friends that I feel helps expand and enhance the base Minecraft experience.
Key mods include:
- Performace mods (Sodium, Iris, and the like)
- Worldgen mods like Blooming Biosphere, Amplified Nether, and Caves and Canyons
- Scout, to assist in inventory management
- Structure mods such as Explorify
- Visual mods like Astrocraft and Falling Leaves
- Animation mods including Fresh Animations and Fresh Moves
- Many resource packs, including AL's Creepers Revamped and Even Better Enchants
- And True Ending, to make the final battle that much more epic!
Shader compatibility is a bit iffy until Astrocraft updates to support them, just turn Astrocraft off in the config if you want to use shaders without visual bugs. Vanilla Tweaks link (Despite it only being used in older versions): https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/resource-packs/
