Loader Quilt 0.28.1

Pack setup

How should I set up Feather | Lightweight Vanilla+ Modpack for players and a server?

Use V3.1.1 for Quilt [BETA] as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install V3.1.1 for Quilt [BETA]
Dedicated server setup Match V3.1.1 for Quilt [BETA]
Pack loader Quilt 0.28.1

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Referenced mods 105
Client only 79
Server only 0
Not labelled 26

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for Feather | Lightweight Vanilla+ Modpack?

V3.1.1 for Quilt [BETA] on 1.21.1 Quilt. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

105 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is V3.1.1 for Quilt [BETA]. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with Quilt 0.28.1. It contains 105 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. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is Feather | Lightweight Vanilla+ Modpack?

🌿 Feather | Lightweight Vanilla+ Modpack

Feather is a sleek and minimal Vanilla+ modpack designed for players who want a little extra—without losing the charm of the vanilla Minecraft experience.

Built for both Fabric and Quilt, Feather includes a handpicked selection of client-side only mods that enhance visuals, improve performance, and add subtle quality-of-life upgrades. Whether you're playing in singleplayer or on a multiplayer server, Feather makes your game feel smoother, snappier, and just a bit smarter.

It also replicates (and improves on) the OptiFine experience with modern alternatives—like Iris for shaders, Sodium for performance, and Dynamic Lights for immersive lighting—plus tons of features you won’t find in OptiFine or clients like Lunar or Badlion.

❓ FAQ

Do I need anything on the server?

Not at all! All mods in Feather are 100% client-side, so you can safely join vanilla or multiplayer servers without any compatibility issues.

Can I add more mods?

Absolutely. Feather is designed to be modular, so feel free to add more mods as long as they’re compatible with your chosen loader. However, we cannot guarantee support for all mods!

Does Feather include OptiFine?

Nope — but that’s a good thing! Feather uses modern, better-performing alternatives like Iris (for shaders), Sodium (for FPS boosts), and Dynamic Lights to replicate and even improve on the OptiFine experience.

Will this boost my FPS?

Yes, for almost everyone! Feather includes performance-focused mods like Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, and more — especially helpful for lower-end machines or laptop users.

Can I use shaders with Feather?

Yes! Feather includes Iris, which supports most OptiFine shaders. Just drop your .zip shader packs into the shaderpacks folder and enable them in-game.
