About
Vanilla Bloom started as a Vanilla+ modpack, built around the idea of enhancing Minecraft while preserving its familiar atmosphere. Over time, however, the pack has grown far beyond its original scope.
Despite the name, Vanilla Bloom is no longer a strictly Vanilla+ experience. The modpack now includes new content, mechanics, structures, progression changes, exploration features, and other additions that significantly expand the game beyond vanilla Minecraft.
The name Vanilla Bloom remains because it represents the original philosophy of the project: taking the Minecraft experience and letting it "bloom" into something larger, richer, and more immersive, while still keeping the game recognizable at its core.

Beyond visuals, Vanilla Bloom also includes gameplay additions, new content, and expanded progression designed to feel naturally integrated into the game. Rather than completely transforming Minecraft, these additions aim to enrich exploration, creativity, and long-term gameplay while maintaining a balanced and enjoyable experience.
Performance improvements and quality-of-life features are included throughout the pack to provide smoother gameplay and a more seamless experience.
Vanilla Bloom is ideal for players looking for an enhanced version of Minecraft that goes beyond traditional Vanilla+ while still feeling cohesive, immersive, and true to the spirit of the game.
The shaders come pre-configured. I personally recommend Bliss Shaders or Eclipse Shaders, but the modpack also includes other great alternatives.

Voxy
The modpack comes with Voxy, allowing you to render terrain at extremely long distances. To take full advantage of this feature, the Chunky mod is included to pre-generate chunks before exploring. After creating or loading a world, use /chunky center to set your current location as the center of the generation area, then run /chunky radius (number of chunks) to define the size of the area and /chunky start to begin the process. Wait until generation is complete before exploring to ensure Voxy can render distant terrain correctly.
I originally made this modpack to play with my friends on a private server, but I decided to share it publicly so anyone can enjoy the experience.
