Description from the author on Modrinth

Realistic

A simple modpack meant to be compatible with vanilla clients/servers, but has various performance improvements, controller support, and shader compatibility.

It features:

  • Atmospheric sound design
  • Realistic game progression
  • Many visual improvements
  • Redesigned combat mechanics
  • Patches to unrealistic behaviour
  • Many, many performance mods

It is currently in development, and most likely has some issues present. It is also not designed for multiplayer at the moment, so it may or may not work flawlessly. However, I am now actively developing this project again, so feel free to provide any criticisms you have.

How to install Realistic

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21 – 26.x. The launcher you install it with sets that up for you.

  2. Download the .mrpack file from Modrinth.

  3. Open it with a launcher that reads .mrpack files, such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher: it makes a new instance with every mod and setting of the pack.

  4. Give the instance enough memory: most modpacks want 4 to 8 GB.

  5. To play it with friends on a server, use the server files of the modpack if its page offers them; otherwise install the same mods on the server.
