About this Pack

This Pack is all about making Your Vanilla Experience better then before. The Modpack is Fabric based and includes a host of Performance Mods like Sodium and Lithium aswell as Beauty Mods like Effektive, Visuality and Iris

The Gameplayadjustments include a Host of Datapacks from VanillaTweaks that will make crafting Recipe more balanced, in giving you more Stairs or Trapdoors for example. To make Inventory management a little easier ShulkerboxTooltips and InventoryTabs will let you keep a better overview of all the items in your Chestmonsters.

There are smaller Mods to passively improve your Vanilla Experience and make exploring the Overworld a lot more exciting and rewarding.

How to install Better Overworld

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.19 – 1.21. 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.
