Description from the author on Modrinth

👋 Welcome to Elixir

[](magically-enhanced-modpacks.gitbook.io/magicall…)

What is Elixir?

Elixir is a Fabric modpack dedicated to purely performance and resource pack compatibility. It makes for a great modpack template for new modpacks as it remains up-to-date and allows the user to customize and add on their own mods that they want to the pack without it coming pre-packaged with additional bloat. And it's great for users who don't often use mods because it should act very similarly to vanilla but with much better performance.

Performance & Compatibility

Elixir's optimizations allow for far better FPS, memory usage, chunk loading, resource pack compatibility, modpack compatibility, and more! In general, the specific optimization mods implemented in this pack more often than not lead to better results and compatibility than OptiFine and some other alternatives. As for compatibility, for example, Elixir offers support for resourcepacks such as Fresh Animations, Dramatic Skys, and Redstone Tweaks. NOTE: Support is always dependent on if the mod dependencies are updated to the latest Minecraft versions.

Quality of Life

Quality of life features are secondary to performance, compatibility, and the vanilla feel. Any additions to Elixir are carefully curated to match this criteria. A zoom mod or a mod adding a targeted entity's health to the F3 screen, for example, are simple features that do not distract from the vanilla game, and due to their simplicity, they present practically zero performance or compatibility issues including with other existing mods.

Vanilla Parity

One issue that plagues many other existing performance modpacks is a lack of vanilla parity due to a few included mods or config settings that in some cases affects gameplay in a way that differs from vanilla. This includes parts of the game such as world generation, rng, mob spawning, and entity pathfinding, which can negatively impact redstone contraptions, farms, and lead to conflicts with a larger set of mods that players may also want to use. As a result of its importance, I made it my goal to create a modpack that maintains vanilla parity in gameplay.

Shaders

Using Iris's shader implementation, Elixir enables the usage of both old and new shaderpacks while also benefitting from some very helpful performance mods!

How to install Elixir

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric, Quilt, Forge and NeoForge for Minecraft 1.19 – 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.
