The aim of this modpack is to provide the best possible vanilla survival experience for Mac and PC. Enjoy a beautiful, fully optimized Minecraft without spending months to set it up.

Key fetures:

  • Runs well on both low- and high-end machines, tested on a MacBook Air M1 and also on a PC with the fastest Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card.
  • Beatiful graphics with 3 optimized presets.
  • Original vanilla experience with several quality of life improvements.
  • Opens and saves your existing Mineraft worlds from the original Minecraft launcher.
  • It is compatible with your existing worlds, so you can continue playing them in a native un-modded game.

Bundled presets:

  • Vanilla's Finest Reimagined for beautiful but classic Minecraft look and feel, this is the default setting
  • Vanilla's Finest Unbound for a more artistic version
  • Vanilla's Finest Mellow for highest shader performance
  • Yes, there is a 4th one, you can switch off the shaders by pressing F12 at any time, still looks much better than the vanilla game.

Everything is fully configured

Only minimal setup is required:

  • Please allocate at least 6GB of memory. (In Modrinth app click the bottom-left gear icon ⚙️ and go to Default instance options.) On high-end systems 16GB is recommended.
  • Copy the following parameters into Java arguments field just below the memory alloacation: -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+ZGenerational -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem
  • After launching the game, set the render distance (Options/Video Settings), the default 12 Chunks is perfect for an average computer, but you can raise it upto 32 Chunks on faster machines.
  • Set the GUI Scale. The menus should be about the same size as you can see in the Galery.
  • Set your mouse sensitivity in Options/Controls/Mouse Settings
  • Choose your graphics preset in two steps:
    1. In Options/Resource Packs open the upper-left menu (Saved Profiles) and select your choice, click Apply Packs.
    2. In Options/Video Settings click the upper-right button (Shader Packs) and select the Shader that matches your resource pack. (For Reimagined and Unbound there is an Euphoria Patches version as well with additional graphics features, but requires higher performance.)

You can easily access exising worlds by pressing the folder with a "1" on it next to the Single Player button.

Important instructions when creating a new world:

  • You can create a new world by pressing the Single Player button, in this case it will be visible only by this modpack. I recommend opening the original Minecraft folder with the "1" button and create a new world there.

  • You can create a new world without any additional datapacks. However, I highly recommend using the Vanilla's Finest's selection, by clicking on the More tab and than Data Packs button during world creation. These packs will be automatically copied into the world save folder, so if you open the world in native Minecraft using the Microsoft Launcher, they will be still there and fully functional! Of course you have 3 choises here as well:

    • Vanilla Default only contains the essential Data Packs. Minecraft will not cut off the peaks of the mountains, and upgrades the trees and nature a little bit to be more in line with what you have seen in the trailers.
    • Vanilla Updated improves villages, mansions, strongholds and other structures without changing their location, so you can still find them on the same spot as in the map viewer: https://www.chunkbase.com/apps/seed-map
    • Vanilla Extra adds new structures that are not in the original game, like ruined castles in icy areas: https://modrinth.com/datapack/grim-kingdoms-lost-structures-ruins/gallery

  • I will publish more information about the included datapacks on my discord channel soon. While I do not recommend removing them from an existing world, they can be remowed without compromising the world itself, some loot chests may become empty.

This modpack is the result of several years of playing Minecraft. I have tried and tested over 3000 mods, resource packs and data packs, and selected those that I loved for the long term, as well as some fancy new ones.

Any suggestion welcome on my Discord page.
