The selected pack release is Fabric Essentials - Graphics Performance-1.18.2A.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.18.2 with Fabric 0.14.4. It contains 81 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod.

Check Screenshots to see the difference!

Despite having a large number of mods, this pack is incredibly lightweight, and actually performs better than vanilla.

Every aspect of the game's presentation is improved in one way or another, but gameplay isn't touched apart from some menu improvements.

That means this pack is completely compatible with vanilla worlds and servers, and is considered "legal" / not cheating.

Keybinds

U - Show/Hide Armor HUD
I - Show/Hide Inventory Preview HUD
C - Zoom (+Mousewheel to adjust)

Shift has been bound to sprint and control to sneak to resemble other PC games. This can be changed back easily.
