--- ## 🚨 Before You Launch Aura ships with both **Flashback** and **ViaFabricPlus**. They do not work together. Pick your mode and disable the other before opening the game.

If your game crashes on launch, this is almost always why. You can switch modes any time. --- ## So what actually is Aura? Alright, honest talk. Every optimization modpack says the same thing now. *"Maximum FPS. Zero bloat. Best performance. Lightweight."* Those words stopped meaning anything a while ago. Every serious Fabric pack already runs Sodium, Lithium, and FerriteCore. That is the engine now. That is the expected baseline. Having it is not a selling point. The real question is what the pack does after the engine. And that is where most packs split into two camps that are both kind of frustrating. **Camp 1: Fast but empty.** You install a barebones FPS pack, your frames go up, and then you spend an hour adding zoom, shulker previews, replay tools, chat fixes, server compatibility, and all the stuff you actually use. At that point you are building the client yourself anyway. **Camp 2: Feature-packed but messy.** You install a bigger pack and half the mods are untouched, some of them overlap, a few are outdated, and the whole thing feels like someone dropped 150 JARs into a folder and called it a day. Aura is neither of those. The way Aura gets built is different. The pack gets compared against the biggest optimization and client-style packs on Modrinth, one by one. What are they doing better? What is Aura missing? What looks useful but does not actually improve anything? What is silently causing conflicts? Then the stack gets rebuilt around what actually passes that test. If it runs on a 2012 MacBook Air, it will fly on your PC. But beyond raw frames, the goal is a setup that feels finished the second it opens. Fast, polished, and stacked with everything you would normally spend time hunting down yourself. **Every pack has the engine now. The difference is the whole client.** --- ## 📊 Benchmarks (estimated) ![A grouped bar chart titled ‘Estimated FPS Comparison’ for Minecraft 1.21.x without shaders, comparing Max FPS (blue) and Average FPS (orange) across Adrenaline, Simply Optimized, Aura, Additive, Sodium Plus, Fabulously Optimized, and Vanilla; Aura is highlighted at roughly 246 max FPS and 197 average FPS, with Vanilla at about 128 max and 92 average.](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/62ddaff3834b7a83955c467bf794cdd8b19fbe70.png) --- ## What Aura is built around | Area | What that means | |:--|:--| | **Raw FPS** | Better rendering, lower memory use, fewer wasted frames, smoother frame pacing | | **Loading** | Faster startup, faster reloads, less waiting around | | **Visuals** | Shaders, connected textures, better lighting, better entities, cleaner UI | | **Client feel** | Zoom, better menus, better controls, better chat, useful HUD and inventory tools | | **Creator tools** | Replays, Freecam, high resolution screenshots, voice chat, building tools | | **Multiplayer** | Version switching, chat privacy, packet fixes, faster pings, server QoL | --- ## How Aura fits | You want... | Better fit... | |:--|:--| | Absolute minimum Sodium setup, nothing extra | Simply Optimized, Adrenaline | | OptiFine replacement with shaders | Fabulously Optimized, Additive | | A locked managed client | Lunar, Feather, Badlion | | **A fast, open, client-style setup that already feels complete** | **Aura** | Unlike locked clients, you can remove things, add things, and make it yours. Aura is the Fabric setup that tries to feel like a client without locking you into one. --- ## What's Inside

🎨 Visuals and Resource Pack Support

🛠️ Quality of Life and Client Feel

🎬 Creator Mode and 🌐 Server Mode

Two setups. Pick the one that fits how you play and disable the other before launching. --- ### 🎬 Creator Mode — Keep `Flashback`, Disable `ViaFabricPlus` | Mod | What it does | |:--|:--| | **Flashback** | Cinema-quality in-game replay recorder. | | **Freecam** | Detach your camera for cinematic shots and fly through walls. | | **Fabrishot** | Screenshots at massive resolutions, way beyond vanilla. | | **Simple Voice Chat** | Proximity voice for SMP content and group recording. | | **Axiom** | Advanced in-game world editor and building toolkit. | | **Stendhal** | Advanced book and sign editing with rich formatting. | | **BactroMod** | Fullbright, low fire, fog removal for clean recordings. | --- ### 🌐 Server Mode — Keep `ViaFabricPlus`, Disable `Flashback` | Mod | What it does | |:--|:--| | **ViaFabricPlus** | Join servers running any version from 1.8 through current. | | **NoChatReports** | Removes signed chat reporting for privacy. | | **Gnetum** | Network-level performance improvements. | | **Fast Server Pings** | Server list loads faster. | | **Noxesium** | Reduces lag spikes on large servers. | | **e4mc** | Share your world to friends without port forwarding. | | **Auth Me** | Re-authenticate when your session expires without restarting. | | **Packet Fixer** | Prevents disconnects from packet issues. | > Aura is not a cheat client. No aim assist. No combat advantages. That said, some servers restrict features like Freecam or fullbright regardless of intent. Check the rules of whatever server you play on.

--- ## ⚡ Installation ``` 1. Install the Modrinth App or Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.11 2. Install Aura from Modrinth 3. Decide: Creator Mode or Server Mode? 4. Disable either Flashback or ViaFabricPlus (not both, not neither) 5. Launch Minecraft 6. Adjust shaders, dynamic lights, and render distance for your hardware ``` > First launch takes longer while configs are built. After that it is fast. **For max FPS:** turn shaders off first, set dynamic lights to Off or Simple, lower render distance before touching anything else, and do not over-allocate RAM. 4 to 6 GB is the sweet spot. More is not better. --- ## ❓ FAQ

Is Aura client-side only?

Yes. Works on any vanilla or modded Java Edition server. The server needs nothing installed.

Why do Flashback and ViaFabricPlus conflict?

They are built for completely different setups and do not coexist here. One is for replays. One is for version switching. Pick the one you need. You can swap any time.

Will I get banned on Hypixel or competitive servers?

Aura has no aim assist, no combat advantages, nothing like that. But some servers restrict features like Freecam or fullbright regardless of intent. Check the rules and disable anything that is not allowed.

Is this just another FPS pack?

No. If you only want the smallest Sodium setup, use a barebones pack. Aura is for players who want the FPS base and all the client tools they would normally spend time adding afterward, already included and already working.

Why are there so many mods?

A lot of the list is libraries, config APIs, and small fixes running in the background. The goal is not "more mods equals better." The goal is a setup that already feels complete.

My game crashes on launch.

Almost certainly both Flashback and ViaFabricPlus are enabled at the same time. Scroll to the top, pick your mode, disable the other one.

Can I add my own mods?

Yes. Aura is a foundation, not a locked system. Add what you want, test it, and remove anything that causes problems.
