About the Modpack

Vanilla Horizons is a vanilla-plus modpack that expands the vanilla Minecraft experience. This modpack includes performance improvements, immersive visuals, more visual effects, 3D textures, quality‑of‑life tweaks, more achievements, more redstone, exploration content and survival mechanics.

How to use the modpack in singleplayer and multiplayer:

The modpack is designed for singleplayer and multiplayer via Essential. If you are playing with Essential make sure the host and all clients are using the same modpack version. If you are on a dedicated server the server and the clients also need to have the same modpack version but the modpack is not tested on a dedicated server because I do not own one.

Which version of the modpack do I use? The Lite version or the normal version? README

Default modpack settings

Normal version: required 24gb+ ram with minimal 18gb ram allocated to the modpack, recommended is to allocate 20gb+ of ram to the modpack.
Lite version: recommended 8gb+ ram with minimal 3,7gb ram allocated to the modpack, recommended is to allocate 4,5gb+ of ram to the modpack.

Which version do I use

I have a decent pc. > Normal version.
I have a low-end gpu or integrated graphics. > Lite version.
I have a low-end cpu. > Lite version.
I have a low-end pc. > Lite version.
I have 16gb ram. > Lite version.
I have 8gb ram. > Lite version. Allocate 3,7 gb ram to the modpack.
For the normal and Lite version follow these steps:

Go to options > Stutterfix.
Set worker threads count to the max.
Leave rest as is.
