An Extra Pinch of Vanilla

An Extra Pinch of Vanilla Survival Pack 2.1.0

Version 2.1.0 is a larger refinement of the modpack focused on performance, interface polish, inventory management, controls, immersion, and general quality of life.

The Minecraft version has not changed. This release mainly reorganizes and expands the mod selection while keeping the same Vanilla+ direction and compatibility with mostly vanilla multiplayer servers.

Performance & Rendering

Added several additional optimization mods:

• Added Alternate Current
• Added Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (Fabric)
• Added Entity Culling
• Added More Culling

These complement the existing Sodium, Lithium, Dynamic FPS, and Distant Horizons setup and provide additional optimizations for rendering, chunk processing, culling, and general game performance.

Inventory & Quality of Life

• Added InventoryTweak
• Added Mouse Tweaks
• Added Stack Refill
• Added Controlling
• Added More Chat History

Inventory interaction, item management, controls, and chat usability have received several improvements without changing normal survival progression.

Interface & Visual Polish

• Added Legendary Tooltips
• Added Smooth Gui
• Added Smooth Scrolling
• Added Smooth Swapping

Menus, scrolling, inventory interactions, and item tooltips should now feel smoother and more polished.

Audio & Immersion

• Added Presence Footsteps

Footstep and movement sounds now provide additional environmental audio and immersion alongside AmbientSounds.

New Libraries & Dependencies

The following supporting mods were added as requirements for the new functionality:

• Added Anvian's Lib
• Added Collective
• Added Iceberg
• Added LibJF
• Added Prism
• Added Respackopts
• Added Searchables

Resource Packs & Shaders

No resource packs or shader packs were added or removed in this release.

The existing Fresh Animations setup, Recolourful Containers variants, Theone's Eating Animation Pack, and both Complementary shader packs remain included.

Shaders and Distant Horizons remain disabled by default.

Summary

This release expands the pack with:

• Better game and rendering performance
• Improved entity and block culling
• Improved chunk processing
• Better inventory and mouse controls
• Automatic stack refilling
• Searchable keybind management
• Longer chat history
• Smoother menus, scrolling, and inventory interactions
• Improved item tooltips
• More immersive footsteps and movement audio

The core Minecraft version and the overall Vanilla+ philosophy of the pack remain unchanged.

This version can be safely installed as an update to an existing 2.0.1 profile.
