Empowered Vanilla

Welcome to Empowered Vanilla

A carefully crafted Minecraft modpack to enhance Performance, Ambience & Visuals✨
The changes are lightweight and preserve the vanilla Minecraft gameplay!

Here are the key features:

Performance ⚡

Empowered Vanilla is based on Simply Optimized - the leading optimization modpack.

Combined with additional improvements you will receive an insane boost in performance -
Without sacrificing beauty!

Ambience 🍃

With immersive sound enhancements, little particle mods and most importantly Fresh Animations your world will feel truly alive now!

Like everything in this modpack, they have all been configured to the sweet spot:
Not too extreme, but still noticeable.

Visuals ✨

Smooth shaders for every System (fully configured) and minor improvements in different areas.

As well as many nice details like 3D textures and texture variations :)
Some of the improvements come from Corality and Vanilla Tweaks.

Don't change the resource pack order to guarantee functionality. And if you do, always keep the Fresh Animation packs on top!

Animals 🦉

Ambient animals make the game so much more fun and alive, so I added a few of them...
They don't really do anything, except looking cute:)

Depending on the version of the modpack, you might come across penguins, seagulls, butterflies or even the entire Naturalist mod.
