Description from the author on Modrinth

Welcome to Simply Optimized & Up to Date ✷

Simply Optimized & Up to Date is a continuation of the original Simply Optimized modpack, a lightweight, well-researched, performance-focused Minecraft modpack built around pure optimization. When the original project by HyperSoop was discontinued, this fork was created by theoclouds to keep the pack up to date with the latest Minecraft and Fabric performance mods while preserving the same minimal, performance-first philosophy.

This pack provides a base of the best optimization mods available, configured for maximum performance and maintainability. Little to no quality-of-life features, visual enhancements, or gameplay changes are included by default. You are free to add your own mods on top.

✷ **Features

  • Core performance mods (Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, Entity Culling, Starlight, and more)
  • Updated to support 26.1 with the latest compatible mod versions
  • Pure performance focus with no unnecessary extras
  • Vanilla gameplay preserved
  • Excellent baseline for adding your preferred quality-of-life mods

✷ **Installation

  1. Download Simply Optimized & Up to Date from Modrinth
  2. Use a Fabric-compatible launcher (Modrinth App, Prism, GDLauncher, or MultiMC)
  3. Run and enjoy optimized Minecraft

How to install Simply Optimized & Up to Date

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.16 – 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.
