Mineral Enhancements

Mineral Enhancements

Current release: 1.2.5 · Minecraft 26.2 · Fabric Loader 0.19.3 · Java 25

A Vanilla+ adventure with more uses for the materials you already know.

Mineral Enhancements brings the seven mods in the Vanilla Enhancements collection together in one Fabric modpack. Craft material-themed equipment, build a Redstone charging network, organize your inventory, and protect the garden around your base.

Mineral Enhancements is the pack's CurseForge name. The release archive is named Vanilla Enhancements because that is the collection it brings together—they are the same pack, not separate downloads.

What changes in your world?

• Emeralds reward mining: stronger equipment, built-in Fortune, extra XP, visible-ore highlighting, and Trading Gems for Villagers.
• Lapis becomes an enchanting choice: keep automatically enchanted gear or consume it as a catalyst for matching equipment.
• Coal and Charcoal bring heat: toggle Auto-Smelt, cook eligible drops, and use fire-resistant armour with a substantial durability cost.
• Redstone becomes rechargeable equipment: 3×3 tools, chain attacks, Armour Pulse, charging shelves, and battery networks through Nether portals.
• Inventory chores get shorter: section-based sorting, Quantity mode, sort locking, container Quick Stack, grouped storage, and crafting/brewing/Creative guides.
• Gardens and trees behave better: protect supported plants from accidental damage and clear a chopped natural tree's leaves without stripping its neighbour.
• Servers get useful building blocks: protection regions, command regions, homes, spawns, chat tabs, and configurable managed mod profiles.

One of the collection's four material-themed equipment sets, which also include Spears.

Each linked project has its complete instructions, controls, recipes, and technical details. Individual mods may have newer releases for other Minecraft versions.

Performance, shaders, and voice chat

The pack also includes Fabric API, Sodium, Sodium Extra, Iris, Simple Voice Chat, and VC Interaction. These support the Fabric environment, rendering options, shaders, and voice chat; performance still depends on your hardware, world, and selected shaders.

Shaders are optional and are not bundled. You can install an Iris-compatible shader pack separately into the profile's shaderpacks folder and select it in-game. Play without shaders if you prefer the standard look or need more performance.

Getting started

1. Install Mineral Enhancements through the CurseForge app, or import its CurseForge pack archive in a compatible launcher.
2. Use the Minecraft, Fabric Loader, and Java versions specified for your selected pack release.
3. Launch a single-player world or join a server running matching gameplay mods.
4. Use the in-game guides and the individual mod pages to explore the equipment and controls.

Playing on a server

Install the matching gameplay mods and dependencies on the Fabric server. Keep client-only rendering mods such as Sodium and Iris on the client. Voice chat requires its own server setup.

For automatic mod-profile delivery, configure Server Enhancements with the server-to-profile mappings and mod-file sources described on its project page. Published mod-page links can also be provided for file verification. Accept downloaded mods only from servers you trust.

Recommended shaders — IterationT

IterationT fits the Vanilla Enhancements collection perfectly, and I strongly recommend playing with it! It completes the look of the pack while keeping Minecraft feeling like Minecraft. I'd love to include it in the pack, but I legally cannot redistribute it. Please download IterationT separately.

IterationT is not made by me and is not bundled with the mods or modpack. With a compatible shader loader installed, place the downloaded shader pack in your profile's shaderpacks folder and select it in-game. Shaders are optional; check compatibility with your Minecraft version and shader loader, and play without them if you need more performance.
