Vanilla Finest

6th Version for Minecraft 26.3

This is the first release with major Atmospherics tuning and exclusive mod updates. Since 6.1, the Bliss and Eclipse shaders are newer development builds, and the game can run on Vulkan (Voxy turns itself off then).

✨ Exclusive Features

This modpack includes my own updates of the following mods:

• Smooth third-person gameplay with Leawind's Third Person, requires Perspective API. Keybinds: V switch perspective · X focus · Tab switch shoulder · Right Alt change camera distance.
• Fluffy Fancy Clouds is back with a 26.3 port. You can still switch to Better Clouds any time with F9.
• Scroll Walk: lower your walking speed in tight areas with Left Alt + Scroll Wheel. Clicking the scroll wheel toggles jump.
• microDurability Armor Bars: an unobtrusive armor HUD, based on microDurability.
• Better End Sky: fixed.
• Reacharound: works better in third person, and shows On/Off above the hotbar (Creative Edition).
• Head Browser is back in Creative Edition to easily find special mini blocks.

🆕 New Additions

• Cubes Without Borders is back for smooth window switching on both PC and Mac.
• More Culling is now the final culling mod and is compatible with Fancy World Animations.
• Double Doors replaces Open Together in both editions. This client-side-only version doesn't interfere with redstone: both doors open with a click, but only one opens with buttons or pressure plates.
• Immersive Storms now only adds dust particles in desert biomes.
• Voxy Server Side: if the connected server runs Voxy, far-view chunks are downloaded and displayed automatically.
• Now also included in Vanilla Edition:
  • Zoomify for better zoom (C + Scroll Wheel when you have a Spyglass in your inventory).
  • Hey Wiki (press H while looking at a block).
  • InvMove (keep walking while your inventory is open).

🔧 Disabled by Default (Optional)

• ServerCore is disabled. Turn it on for better performance. It's safe to use, though some very rare redstone farms may have issues.
• Better Snow Coverage and Snow Under Trees: I personally love these, so give them a try. Flowers and grass get covered with snow when snow layers are next to them, and snow piles up under trees during snowfall.
• Atmospheric Fauna: I love the bird flocks it adds. They fix Minecraft's lonely atmosphere.
• Xaero's Maps are included but disabled by default in Vanilla Edition.

🗺️ Major Changes: Dungeons and Taverns

Dungeons and Taverns has been updated with tons of new features. I highly recommend the Adventure datapack preset, which now comes in two versions:

• Vanilla Adventure: the added enchantments are disabled.
• Standard Adventure with Enchantments: the new enchantments are enabled, and your save stays compatible with the vanilla game.

  ⚠️ If you open and save the world without the Dungeons and Taverns datapack active, the added enchantments will disappear.

🎮 Editions

Vanilla Edition: why choose it?

• Vanilla world generation by default: Nothing changes unless you enable an optional datapack. Version 26.3 is so much faster than previous versions that it's fast enough without C2ME, so you don't risk compatibility issues.
• Client-side only: The pack doesn't change your save file and is fully compatible with vanilla servers.
• Minimal gameplay changes: Original Minecraft gameplay stays the same, with only small quality-of-life additions: crawl with a button press, better zoom, automatic Elytra/Chestplate swapping, and movement with an open inventory.
• Optional datapacks: Extra features come as optional datapacks. They're never added to your save files automatically and don't affect servers. They're only applied if you select them manually when creating a world or in the datapack menu: Dungeons and Taverns, Invisible Item Frames, No Enderman Griefing, All Mob Heads, Double Shulker Shells, Villager Names, Miniblocks, and slightly updated world generation with Geophilic and Mountain Peaks.

🐛 Known Issues & Troubleshooting

• Fullscreen: Disable ⚙️ Settings → Window → Fullscreen. It overrides the pack's options.txt, and the modpack won't work properly.
• Sync settings: Disable ⚙️ Settings → Syncing → Sync game options and Sync resource packs, as they can interfere with the modpack.
• Euphoria Patches shows error messages in the End dimension. These can be safely ignored and will be fixed in the next version.
• Iris has a rare bug that can cause crashes. If it happens, disable shaders, load the world, then turn shaders back on.
