HeXHub.net optimized | Handheld

About

A client-side Fabric pack for vanilla multiplayer. It changes no gameplay,
adds no items and needs nothing installed on the server — you can join any vanilla
or Paper server with it, modded or not.

Built and tested for HeXHub.net, so it is preconfigured for that network out of
the box. Nothing ties it to HeXHub, though; it works just as well anywhere else.

What's inside

• Performance — Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ImmediatelyFast, EntityCulling,
  More Culling by FX and friends, plus render scaling to trade resolution for
  frames. The game runs better than vanilla before you touch a setting.
• View distance — Distant Horizons renders terrain far past the chunk
  limit your server hands out.
• Shaders — E-LITE by Entokito, based on MakeUp – Ultra Fast by
  Javier Garduño, via Iris: a lightweight shader with Distant Horizons support,
  enabled out of the box. Complementary Shaders by EminGT and
  MakeUp – Ultra Fast are included as alternatives.
• Visuals — connected textures, custom entity models and textures from
  resource packs, better skies, particles, explosions and weather.
• Audio — realistic sound occlusion and reverb, per-block footsteps, and
  proximity voice chat via Simple Voice Chat (needs the server to run it —
  HeXHub does).
• Chat — player heads next to messages, longer history, working chat search
  and copy.
• Interface — Xaero's minimap and world map, tooltips via Jade, hunger and
  saturation via AppleSkin, a readable F3 screen, zoom, free look.
• Input — full controller support via Controlify, including Steam Deck.
• Menu — custom main menu: one click to join HeXHub.net, live server status,
  panoramas from the network, links to Discord, Wiki, live map and Twitch.
  Follows your game language (German or English).
• Fixes — Debugify fixes over 70 bugs from Mojang's bug tracker.

Fair play

This pack is meant to be usable on servers that ban cheat clients, so it stays on
the right side of that line by default:

• The minimap ships without cave view, entity radar or anything else that shows
  you what you could not see yourself.
• Free look turns your head without moving you. No freecam, no spectator mode,
  nothing that detaches the camera from your body.
• The locator bar only shows what the server chooses to send.
• Nothing that automates play.

Fair-play settings are the defaults, not a lock. If you change them, that is
between you and the server you play on.

Settings

Everything is preconfigured — graphics, shaders, map, utilities — so the pack
works out of the box.

Keybinds are cleaned up only where mods collide. Vanilla keys and the keys you
actually use stay where you expect them; minor mod keys get moved or unbound.

Gameplay options stay at vanilla defaults; master volume and mouse sensitivity
start at 50 %. Audio does not stay vanilla: sound occlusion, reverb and footsteps
are part of what this pack is for. Everything is a toggle away in the mod menu.

YOSBR keeps your own settings across updates. Pack defaults apply only on a
fresh install, or when a new mod arrives without an existing config.

About Distant Horizons

Distant Horizons builds its long-range terrain from chunks you have loaded, so
the view keeps growing as you explore — and stays that way on your next visit.
It needs nothing on the server side.

This edition — Handheld

For handhelds and entry-level gaming PCs. Shaders and Distant Horizons are on,
tuned for a stable frame rate on a small power budget rather than maximum detail.
The UI scale is set up for a handheld screen.

Reference device: Steam Deck OLED

The core mod list is shared across editions — what differs is the
preconfiguration, and which visual and audio mods are included at all.

Minecraft versions

and follows the server when it updates.

Status

Alpha. Under active development, updated often, expect the occasional rough
edge. Feedback is welcome on Discord.
