Fast & Better Vanilla

Maintenance & Refinement Update

This release is a comprehensive maintenance and refinement update for Fast & Better Vanilla. The focus of this version is stability, consistency, and usability. Numerous long-standing issues were resolved, default behaviour was standardised, and the overall user experience was cleaned up. No core gameplay mechanics were altered.

General Stability & Maintenance

  • Fixed missing shaderpacks in previous releases
  • Fixed crash handling; the game now reliably returns to the title screen after crashes
  • Reduced startup errors and warnings
  • Updated all mods to stable releases only
  • Removed redundant or unnecessary mods to improve reliability and clarity

Settings & Default Behaviour

  • Closed Captions are now disabled by default
  • Narrator is now disabled and muted by default
  • All keybinds were reset to proper Vanilla defaults
  • Default settings were standardised across the modpack
  • Removed forced or intrusive default options such as automatic item swapping
  • Facing direction is now visible in the F3 debug screen

  • Added full support for 3D Skin Layers

Gameplay & Quality-of-Life Changes

  • Fixed unintended glowing block outlines

  • Removed Carpet Mod (no longer required due to Fake Players)

  • Added Nether Portal linking support

  • Enabled decorative and functional fake players and advanced armor stands using:

    • Armor Poser

Help & Guidance
