Description from the author on Modrinth

Vanilla Experience+ is a carefully crafted resource pack focused on improving, refining, and fixing various aspects of Minecraft - enhancing visuals, consistency, and overall game feel while staying true to the original Vanilla style.

Check out the gallery to get a preview of most features and contents.

Fully configurable with the Respackopts mod, allowing you to easily enable, disable and customize many features of the pack to match your preferred experience.

OptiFine or ETF is not required for the resource pack, but is needed for mob variants, while CIT Resewn is not required either, but is needed for some unique and visual item variants before 1.21.5.

Feel free to report any issues, feedback, or concerns by sending me a DM on CurseForge. Please check the FAQ section first.
