Description from the author on Modrinth

A modpack that aims to improve the default minecraft feel without changing it too much by making the player and other entities` moves look more natural, increasing the resolution of textures to 32x and optimising the game.

The modpack uses some of the best ways to achieve stunning visuals while keeping high FPS:

-Sodium and Vitrail: A powerfull duo that improves performance of the Vulkan rendering API even more, and a shader loader to be able to use shaders with the new graphic API

-Distant Horizons with its seedgen add-on: Gives you the ability to increase your render distance all the way up to 4096 or more through the seedgen add-on, while still letting you control their quality and keep stable performance. The seedgen add-on also increases the speed of chunk-generation of Distant Horizons.

-Punchy and its Punchy Moves add-on: Improves the first and third person player animations, making them look more natural and smooth

-Primes HD Textures and Fresh Animations: Increases the blocks resolution to 32x and re-imagines animations of mobs

Warning!!!: On your first launch of the modpack, the Vulkan rendering API is going to be turned off by default. Make sure to enable it in the settings and re-launch the game.

How to install Wither`s improved vanilla

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 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.
