Explore the wiki · Report Bugs · Request Features

Vital is a modpack designed as a QoL and performance modpack that dually serves as an **alternative to [Essential](https://modrinth.com/mod/essential)** and OptiFine. It includes the majority of Essential and OptiFine's features, including world hosting, cosmetics, many resource pack features, shaders, and so much more. # ⭐ Features ### 🚀 Major performance improvement Vital is built on top of the bleeding edge [Simply Optimized Forked](https://modrinth.com/modpack/simply-optimized-forked) modpack, which improves the performance of every aspect of the game. ### 🔷 Essential features Vital contains quite a few mods to replace [Essential](https://modrinth.com/mod/essential)'s features! - Free world hosting that's secure and private, and does not require the other players to use it - Simply click "Open to Friends" in the menu to get an IP address you can send to your friends to play! - Completely free cosmetics! - You can access these in the mod menu or settings menu. You could also visit the [Cosmetica website](https://cosmetica.cc)! - A bunch of neat skin management features - Accessible through the main menu! - Screenshot improvements - When you take a screenshot, it will let you view it easily. You can also manage your screenshots in-game! - Log into different accounts from ingame. - Simply go into the main menu and select the account switcher! - In-game recording - Via the brilliant Flashback mod! - Better organized main menu - Inspired by Essentials layout; intended to be in the style of vanilla! ### 🔍 OptiFine features Vital utilizes the core mods needed to bring over all of OptiFine's benefits; - OptiFine resource pack features - Built-in shaders support - Dynamic lighting from held objects - Better grass and snow - OptiFine donator capes (and [free capes](https://skywardmc.org/additive/supporter-cape)) - [All OptiFine features and more information on the wiki](https://skywardmc.org/additive/optifine-features) ### 💡 Quality of Life Vital also includes some extra features unrelated to OptiFine, although I aim to keep this list of mods minimal. Mods are suitable for the "other features" section if they are lightweight and unobtrusive. This includes things like: - Small input fixes for MacOS and Linux players - Borderless fullscreen window setting in the video settings - [All other features and more information on the Additive wiki](https://github.com/skywardmc/additive/wiki/Extra-features) # ✅ Hardware Compatibility For Hardware Compatibility information, see the corresponding section in [Sodium's Modrinth description](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium#hardware-compatibility). # 🐛 How to Report Issues Experiencing bugs, crashes, or other issues?
