Fabricated

The purpose of Fabricated is to enhance - not replace - vanilla Minecraft. That's what most mods are for. Major differences include:

• Essential (Giving a new look to the Minecraft home page, plus other features)
• Miniature Shader (A lightweight shader that doesn't take much off your FPS)
• Complementery Shaders Reimagined & Unbound (Better than Miniature Shader)
• Golems Kill Creepers
• Fresh Animations (Makes your game look like the trailers, apparently. It's good)
• Automatic Doors
• Better than Mending (Shift+right-click whist holding a Mending item to repair it)
• Smooth Chat Animation
• Potion Stacking (Up to 16)
• Sodium Extra (Gives you the option to have an FPS indicator overlay and coordinates, like in Bedrock Edition) And more...

Fabricated also includes 11 optimisation mods.

If caves are too dark, try Fullbright in resource packs. To use Fresh Animations, you must enable it in the resource packs list. I reccommend enabling every resource pack except for the two that come pre-installed with Minecraft (High Contrast & Programmer Art).
