So I was just browsing Vanilla Tweaks...

I wanted to see what new resource packs were available, and update the set that I usually run with. I never normally bother with the aesthetic stuff, but that section was already open when I loaded the site, so I scrolled through it out of interest.

And then I found this:

If that was available when Empires Season 1 was ongoing, then Pix really missed a trick. The Phantom Assassin could have had phantom wings! Given all the custom armour and weapons that everyone else was using back then, I remember wishing that Pix had got some custom elytra textures, if only for the Phantom Assassin. These would have been perfect.

(Yes, I know that would have changed all elytra into phantom wings, but he could have only used it for those individual scenes and then removed the pack for everyday use.)

The Ecto Moog Vanilla Experience

[ Disclaimer!! this post is outdated- ill update it probably by november, or when all these mods are updated for 1.20.2 😁 ]

I'm an unwilling user of a MacBook Air, and I'm also someone with strong (picky) preferences for ✨vibes✨, and so to play Minecraft casually on my laptop, I've had to jump through several hoops to achieve what I would consider a "tailored & premium" vanilla experience. At this point though, I've put probably too much time and effort into it, and so I thought to justify that I'd make a guide to all the mods, resource packs and game options I use, as of May 2023 (1.19.4). 👇

I will attach a hyperlink to any resources I mention :)

Mods

Ok so to start off, yes, I technically I don't actually play true vanilla Minecraft, but the mods I have installed are all client-side, and for the purpose of improving or optimising the vanilla experience. You can find me on Modrinth, but here are all the mods I use:

Fabric & Modrinth (Intro)

To mod the game, I use Fabric, (rather than Curseforge). I know there are other modding tools, but Fabric works very well for me, and honestly the Forge website and launcher are pretty ugly, so I've stuck to Fabric up until this point. I ideally use Modrinth to download mods, as I like the design of that too.

As part of Fabric, I do have the Fabric API in my mods folder.

Sodium, Lithium and Phosphor

In the past I've used Optifine, but in December 2022 I switched to JellySquid's, Sodium, Lithium and Phosphor. So far, they work a *lot* better, in terms of optimisation. While they don't have the dynamic lighting, zoom or other cosmetic features that Optifine does, the performance they manage to achieve on my non M1 Mac is amazing. On average, at a 15 chunk render distance in the Overworld, I averaged around 45 fps. I'm actually really exciting about that because it allows me to actually play the game properly lol.

2. Lamb Dynamic Lights

To compensate for Sodium, I use Lamb Dynamic Lights, which is a simple but thorough dynamic lighting mod that adds light-emitting handheld items, dropped items and entities.

3. WI Zoom

Again, to compensate for Sodium, I use the Wurst-Imperium Zoom mod, which provides the zoom from the Wurst Client as a standalone mod. This is understandably shady, but it's very useful and feels at least vanilla-adjacent.

4. ShulkerBoxToolTip

A very minor mod, and one used by Xisumavoid, ShulkerBoxToolTip allows you to look inside a shulker box while it's in your inventory.

5. Better F3

Better F3 does exactly what it sounds like - it improves the F3 menu. I haven't optimised mine yet, but there is the option to colour code and shift/delete parts of the menu depending on your use case, and it looks a lot better too.

6. Mod Menu

Just in case you need to know what mods you have installed, and where to find information on them, Mod Menu provides that in game, which is super helpful.

7. FastLoad

FastLoad removes 441 chunk generating and implements different loading screens, and allows for the world to be generated a lot quicker.

Resource Packs

For vanilla Minecraft, I actually only use one resource pack, but if you're familiar with Vanilla Tweaks, you'll understand why this deserves its own category.

I've picked a lot of tweaks in Vanilla Tweaks, and some of them are more obtrusive than others. Some of my favourites are:

Dark Mode UI

Lower Fire

Quieter Nether Portals

Circular Sun and Moon

Bedrock Menu Title

Gold Hemlet -> Golden Crown

And the rest are:

Don't Eat the Bowl!, Bedrock Menu Title, No Panorama Overlay, Literal Gamerule Names, Numbered Hotbar, Dark UI (1.19.3 - 1.19.4), Ping Color Indicator, Wither Hearts, Lower Fire, Borderless Glass, Lower Shield, Translucent Pumpkin Overlay, Directional Hoppers, Visible Tripwires, Visual Note Block Pitch, Quieter Nether Portals, Quieter Minecarts, Quieter Fire, Quieter Pistons, Quieter Sculk Shriekers, Variated Dirt, Variated Coarse Dirt, Variated Grass, Variated Cobblestone, Variated Moss, Variated Bricks, Variated Birch Logs, Variated Red Mushroom Blocks, Variated End Stone, Variated Gravel, Variated Mycelium, Variated Planks, Variated Bookshelves, Variated Stone, Lower Grass, Circular Sun and Moon, Twinkling Stars, Circular Log Tops, Shorter Tall Grass, Whiter Snow, Different Stems, Red Iron Golem Flowers, Vertical Nuggets, Unique Dyes, Animated Campfire Items, Splash Bottle o' Enchanting, Accurate Spyglass ,Golden Crown

In-Game Options

I'm very picky with my in-game options, but they're all quite small changes, and so probably aren't worth discussing all that much, I'm just going to drop the most important ones below:

The end :)

That's my complete Ecto Moog vanilla experience! I'm sure I've missed some things, but overall that's how I've customised my experience. Let me know if there's alternatives I should try...

my first ever completely-from-scratch CPM model! it's my sweet ol' piglin, melora! 🐷 she's got toggleable bandages, emissive eyes & lantern, and, most importantly, sick dance moves.

I just want to thank vanilla tweaks for immediately making these blocks less suspicious bc this is hell on anyone with visual impairments

#personal #minecraft #3 am post #I should be asleep #up close I can see them but from any further I actually cannot tell the difference #between regular and suspicious blocks #legit while playing in 1.2 I don't have any mods on so i just started brushing at random bc #i cannot see the suspicious gravel at a distance or in the dark #so anyway looking forward to downloading vanilla tweaks 1.20.... #delete later maybe #going to bed now <3

[theminecraftbee]

joe is currently getting the vanilla tweaks people to help make a vanilla tweak where he can have a totem as a backpack. because he thinks it would be funny to have a totem as a backpack. i agree. i want a funny little backpack man

#stream liveblogging #he is now a thirty dollar patron for vanilla tweaks

guess who figured out how to make custom faces for baldurs gate

#screenshots incoming #i don’t wanna talk about how long it took me to get working #i can post a little tutorial if anyone is interested? #I’ll admit that it’s not really *fully* custom faces its more like. tweaking pre-made faces #but if you can find a face that is somewhat close to what you want either in vanilla or modded then you can just tweak it in blender #wish babbles

I've been in the fucking trenches all week running on abysmally small amounts of sleep on account of several 9 am classes back to back, HOWEVER, I also got mods working on my Terra alt and it's had a catastrophic effect on my brainspace as of late. Giggling and spinning the camera around him for several hours while my partner's screaming and crying and wailing at me in vc to PLEASE just unlock dungeons and continue the main story

#saltfish games #ffxiv #kh #kh terra #yes im still gonna continue tweaking him later bc theres some mods i want on him that also break Other mods i have enabled for him #and its a whole mess of a jigsaw circus that i am not looking forward to wrangling but. i will. for Him #'salty arent there actual terra hair mods' yes. exactly one ripped directly from kh3. unfortunately its fitted horribly onto ffxiv models #so ill just deal and maybe bug a friend into helping with making a vanilla hair mashup to just cobble together something #that resembles the way i draw his hair myself FGSJDNSNDNSH #in case this takes off and people start wondering why the hell he has sideburns: thats just how i like to draw him dw abt it. hes Scruffy #and ​technically i do also have a mod for his canon outfit but it breaks the body replacement mod im using for him as a base 😔 sad. oh well #anyway. something so moe abt middie huyrs. its enchanted me

Man I've been making a minecraft mod for the past like, month, and I'm so close to being able to release it. I can't wait to be like, done if nothing else lol.

I'll probably be posting about it here when it comes out, along with the modpack I built the mod for. So uh, stay tuned minecraft heads if that's something that interests you.

#its a 1.20.1 quilt mod that changes a bunch of stuff about progression and adds a new equipment tier #the textures are really really cool im so proud of them they took me so long but i got real good at pixel art and gradients etc #and it came out so well #its taken me so long because im not particularly knowledgeable about java coding #but like i did fucking mixins which is insane to me #the modpack also fucks its basically my ideal vanilla+ type thing #tons of big tweaks and small additions #ill be publishing both the mod and the pack on modrinth whenever the fuck im done #and ill also be making the mods github repository public for all the java heads to laugh at all my code

it's not even that i don't think milk toast could be good. i haven't personally tried it, but after looking it up i've seen plenty of preparations that sound like they'd be decent, if not pretty good. the one that calls for you to submerge a single slice of lightly buttered & salted toast in a bowl of hot milk with no other seasonings is by far the saddest & soggiest version i have encountered, however

#i guess it's supposed to be for little kids & sick people or something but c'mon man #i'm sure they could be eating better than this. there are far better ways to consume dairies & grains than this soggy bland concoction #honestly i think the recipe could be saved with just a few tweaks. add some cream & sweetener to the milk #throw in your favorite extracts and spices (vanilla or almond extract with cinnamon and/or nutmeg would be my go-to here) #and THEN instead of pouring the hot milk over the entire slice & completely submerging it in a bowl to get all soggy #just dip the toast in!! you can let each bite get as saturated with milk as you like. total texture control 👍👍 #idk about you but that sounds a lot better than the cookbook version to me #animal.txt

This is Vanilla (or Bubblegum. seeing another oc named Vanilla is making me unsure of my name choice)

they're gay for korsica. they are just me to make it clear.
