The bare essentials is a modpack designed to give you the essentials for playing Minecraft. these essentials include:
-sodium
-lithium
I designed this to juice every drop of performance without added extras. You dont need a modpack with hundreds of mods to play minecraft!
That's where The Bare Essentials comes in.
The goal is simple: provide the essential performance improvements while keeping everything else as close to vanilla Minecraft as possible.
Improved rendering: Optimisations designed to make rendering more efficient.
Reduced memory usage: Improvements to how Minecraft handles memory.
Better game logic: Optimisations to background processes and game mechanics.
Entity culling: Avoid rendering entities that aren't visible to the player.
Lightweight: A minimal selection of mods without unnecessary additions.
Vanilla experience: No major changes to the original gameplay.
When updates come out i plan to update as fast as possible, releasing a bunch of updates within a week due to the different speeds mods update!
My laptops specs: Intel 5 ultra 225U with 16GB of DDR5 Ram
Bare essentials: 112Fps average @ 8 chunks render and simulation distance on 26.3
Vanilla: [Fps placeholder, wasnt able to download vanilla at 1.5mbps internet :P)
Written by Tate-the-axolotl. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 26.x. The launcher you install it with sets that up for you.
Download the .mrpack file from Modrinth.
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.
Give the instance enough memory: most modpacks want 4 to 8 GB.
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.
