A Premium Experience

v.0.2 (Alpha)

------------------------

I am just trying to create an amazing mod pack that will bring our fellow players an amazing visual experience that they can access in a few clicks while keeping everything smooth, stable, accessible and fun for everybody. Remember that I am not getting paid for this and it would really make my day if you gave this modpack a try.

------------------------

"A Premium Experience" is a mod pack created to significantly improve the default experience of the game by introducing well over 100 mods, shader packs, and ressource packs that are going enrich the Minecraft's gameplay and give it stunning visuals. You can check the mod pack's gallery to see what it looks like.

• For now, the mod pack will only support 26.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2 paired with Fabric, since the project's version is v0.2.

• Updates to improve the mod pack and add a wider range of compatibility are to come.

• If you notice a bug while you are playing, immediately report it in the comments of the mod pack.

This mod pack does not add any new blocks, mobs or items in the game that are not present in Vanilla Minecraft, as it would technically change the core of the original game, which would contradict the purpose of this mod pack.

How does this mod work ?

Due to compatibility and performance reasons, the crucial mod named "Sodium" is used to drastically improve the overall results. Do not delete it.

In order to make this mod pack accessible and fast for a larger range of computers, many performance mods had to be employed, such as:

• Clumps
• Concurrent Chunk Management Engine
• Cull Leaves (Disabled by default: it gives trees a worse appearance but improves performance.)
• Entity Culling Fabric/Forge
• FerriteCore (Fabric)
• ImmediatelyFast
• Lithium (Fabric/NeoForge)
• ModernFix-mVUS
• MoreCulling
• NoisiumForked
• (AND MORE)

Those performance mods do not have a negative impact on the visuals or gameplay.

Please note that I am doing everything that I can to make this mod pack visually amazing while maintaining a playable FPS for a wide range of computers, so that everybody can have fun.

MANY quality of life mods were introduced into this mod pack to enhance the visuals, gameplay, UI, and more.

- Complementary Shaders (Unbound) + Euphoria Patches is easily the most important mod of this mod pack, because it handles the lighting by itself and a lot of important effects, such as the water physics, the stars, the aurora borealis at night, the atmospheric fog, the clouds, the reflections, the colored lighting, and more.

• If you downloaded this mod, you would have noticed that it was already configured and optimized.
• Make sure that your Minecraft refresh rate is set to your monitor's refresh rate and disable V-Sync if you are experiencing FPS drops.
• You can modify the render distance to your liking. The higher the render distance, the lower the FPS.

A TUTORIAL THAT IS COMING SOON IS GOING TO EXPLAIN HOW TO CHANGE THE MOD PACK SETTINGS FOR YOUR PREFERENCES AND THEIR IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE.

-Do not touch the more advanced settings without the tutorial unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

For stability reasons, I recommend that you allocate 8 GB of your RAM to Minecraft for this mod pack if you have 16 GB of RAM or more in your computer. The minimum amount of RAM that you can allocate for this mod pack is 4 GB for stability reasons. If you have around 8 GB of RAM, do not allocate more than 4 GB of RAM to the game.
