📃 Vanilla Client Side

A performance-first, information-rich client pack for Paper & vanilla servers

🌟 Why this pack exists

Most “FPS + visuals” packs chase eye-candy shaders.
Vanilla Paper Edition has a different target audience:

❶ Keep the frames high (Sodium, Lithium, etc.)
❷ Show more useful data (food saturation, tool durability, redstone power, light levels…)
❸ Stay visually vanilla — just clearer GUIs & icons, no cinematic post-processing.

It started while speed-running redstone builds on public Paper servers where shaders are pointless but extra on-screen info is gold.

🔑 What’s inside & why

Theme Key components What you’ll see in-game
Smooth FPS Sodium + Indium, Lithium, Starlight, FerriteCore 2-3 × higher average frames and faster world joins.
Informative UI Resource packs: Vanilla Tweaks GUI, Redstone Tweaks, Vanilla Experience+ Cleaner menus, colored potion icons, power-level textures on redstone dust, clearer item durability.

⚠️ Server-policy notes

Mod What it changes Possible rule conflicts
BactroMod Full-bright gamma, hides fog, fire & pumpkin overlay Some PvP/adventure servers ban full-bright & no-fog — toggle these off if disallowed.
Xaero’s Minimap / World Map Entity radar & cave mode If minimaps are restricted, switch to Xaero’s Minimap – Fair-Play Edition (no entity/cave radar).

When in doubt, ask staff or disable the features from the in-game config.

💬 Philosophy

  • Performance first – every addition is benchmarked; anything costing >≈5 FPS is culled.
  • Information over decoration – clearer textures & GUIs, not cinematic shaders.
  • Server friendly – no cheats, x-ray or automation helpers; just clarity and comfort.
