Designed for players who want better performance, smoother gameplay, and subtle improvements without drastic changes.

⚠️ Be careful

Some mods may cause issues on strict servers (Hypixel, e.g.):

Potentially Risky (Use with Caution)

  • Inventory Profiles Next – Fast inventory sorting might trigger anti-cheat due to packet timing.

  • ViaFabric – Multi-version support can cause packet mismatches (disconnect issues).

  • Xaero's Minimap – Some servers ban any minimap mods (check rules).

Partially Restricted (Disable Risky Features)

  • Litematica – Safe in view-only mode, but schematic placement can be banned.

  • Gamma Utils – Much easier to see ores in caves.
