📃 Vanilla Paper Edition
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. |
| HUD Data | AppleSkin, Inventory HUD+, Lighty overlays, BetterF3 | Food saturation bars, armor/tool durability, block light level, clearer F3 menu. |
| Quality of Life | MouseTweaks, ChestTracker, Dynamic Lights, Dynamic FPS, Clumps | One-click inventory sorting, handheld torches light caves, laptop fans go silent on the title screen. |
| Navigation | Xaero’s Minimap + World Map (toggleable) | Waypoints & death markers for builders / explorers. |
| 100 % Client-Side | Fabric API, Cloth Config, owo-lib | Joins any vanilla, Spigot or Paper server out of the box. |
⚠️ 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.
