📖 About 📖

JAG's Essentials, as described by the tagline, is a modpack that brings Minecraft to modern standards, through many QOL, performance, and visual upgrades, by featuring my own personal essential mods. It enhances the core Minecraft experience without straying from its original charm, making the game feel more performant, and generally higher quality, while keeping it very vanilla. From better performance and improved lighting to controller support and dynamic sound, every change is designed to feel like a natural upgrade rather than a complete overhaul. Whether you're exploring, building, or playing with friends, JAG's Essentials provides a polished, enjoyable experience for both new and old players.

🛠️ Features 🛠️

  • Better performance, with Sodium, Lithium, C2ME, Noisium, and FerriteCore
  • More particles for stuff like breaking and placing blocks, plus water splashes and other stuff
  • Improved sound physics so there's reverb in caves
  • Pixelated shadows and lighting with Miniature Shader, that fits perfectly within the vanilla aesthetic
  • VanillaTweaks resource pack that fixes and changes a ton of stuff
  • Controller support for both Xbox and PlayStation controllers
  • Dynamic lighting from torches and other light sources
  • The ability to install resource and shader packs in game
  • Full rotation in third person so it doesn't feel as clunky
  • Other miscellaneous QOL features

# THE EVEN SHINIER SUPER COOL PERFORMANCE THINGY UPDATE - Tweaked the Shine mod some more - Other little mod tweaks and such - Massive performance improvements with new mods, went from 190-220 FPS on my PC to 270-350 FPS (mostly cause of Nvidium, so unfortunately largest FPS boosts are only on NVIDIA GPUs) - Updated Vanilla Tweaks pack (as per usual), it is now named JAG's Vanilla Tweaks - Replaced the lack of shaders with Complimentary Reimagined, configured to be very similar to Vibrant Visuals

# THE ULTRA COOL 4K HD SHINY NEW UPDATE - Removed all default shaders since I wanna make the pack catered toward looking more vanilla, you can still download your own shaders ofc - Removed other old/incompatible mods that were disabled, which includes global datapacks, so the Veinminer datapack was also deleted - Updated a bunch of mods - Updated Shine, which replaces a bunch of particle mods, I heavily configured it to hopefully look vanilla-like - Deleted and cleared out some unneeded config files - Probably some other tweaks and fixes that I forgot

# THE NOT SO MAJOR UPDATE - New rebrand! Should be more unique and less generic now, and should hopefully be the final rebrand, lmao - Some mods removed that added minor functionality but seemed heavy on performance, such as Particle Rain or Essential removed (Essential removed since Java will have peer-to-peer multiplayer soon) - Rebrand was also to justify making a v4 lmao cuz I didn't wanna stay on v3 forever - Rremoved the dark mode resource pack as an optional pack since it was kind of unneded imo but you can always install it yourself - Updated Vanilla Tweaks pack (as always) - Added Smooth Entity Shadows as a default resource pack - Unfortunately this version doesn't have Enchanted's Sodium Options but that's because it doesn't support the latest version of Sodium yet - Cleaned up and removed a bunch of unused config files - Updated Miniature Shader as well

# THE I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE UPDATE - Updated to 26.1.2 - Disabled Cosy Critters & Creepy Crawlies by default as some players may not want the feature or find it obtrusive - Disabled Voxy in the video settings by default due to heavy performance issues with lower end devices (can still be enabled in-game) - Updated VanillaTweaks pack for 26.1 - Added Caelesti Fenestra as a default resource pack for better looking glass - Removed Cubes Without Borders as borderless fullscreen is now a default option for vanilla Minecraft - Added Enchanted's Sodium Options to make Sodium's video settings screen look more like vanilla - A bunch of other mods are disabled for the time being as I wait for them to update, once they update there'll be a new version with them enabled, for now keep them disabled to prevent your game from crashing
