About

A client-side Fabric pack for vanilla multiplayer. It changes no gameplay, adds no items and needs nothing installed on the server — you can join any vanilla or Paper server with it, modded or not.

Built and tested for HeXHub.net, so it is preconfigured for that network out of the box. Nothing ties it to HeXHub, though; it works just as well anywhere else.

What's inside

• Performance — Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ImmediatelyFast, EntityCulling, C2ME and friends, plus render scaling to trade resolution for frames.
• View distance — Distant Horizons renders terrain far past the chunk limit your server hands out. On weak hardware this is the single biggest visual gain available.
• No shaders. Even the lightest ones cost more than this hardware can spare.
• Voice — proximity voice chat via Simple Voice Chat (needs the server to run it — HeXHub does).
• Interface — Xaero's minimap and world map, tooltips via Jade, hunger and saturation via AppleSkin, a readable F3 screen, zoom, free look.
• Input — full controller support via Controlify.
• Menu — custom main menu with HeXHub.net already in the server list.

Same mod list as the other editions, minus everything that costs frames: no shaders, no extra particles, no atmospheric or audio mods.

Fair play

This pack is meant to be usable on servers that ban cheat clients, so it stays on the right side of that line by default:

• The minimap ships without cave view, entity radar or anything else that shows you what you could not see yourself.
• Free look turns your head without moving you. No freecam, no spectator mode, nothing that detaches the camera from your body.
• The locator bar only shows what the server chooses to send.
• Nothing that automates play.

Fair-play settings are the defaults, not a lock. If you change them, that is between you and the server you play on.

Settings

Everything is preconfigured — graphics, map, utilities — so the pack works out of the box.

Keybinds are cleaned up only where mods collide. Vanilla keys and the keys you actually use stay where you expect them; minor mod keys get moved or unbound. Sound, mouse and gameplay options stay at vanilla defaults.

YOSBR keeps your own settings across updates. Pack defaults apply only on a fresh install, or when a new mod arrives without an existing config.

About Distant Horizons

Distant Horizons builds its long-range terrain from chunks you have loaded, so the view keeps growing as you explore — and stays that way on your next visit. It needs nothing on the server side.

This edition — Potato

For very weak PCs and old laptops. Every setting is chosen for frames first, and render scaling lets you drop below native resolution when that is what it takes.

Reference machine: notebook with i7-7200U, integrated graphics, 8 GB RAM

Which edition?

The core mod list is shared across editions — what differs is the preconfiguration, and which visual and audio mods are included at all.
