The Vanilla Experience | TVE

The Vanilla Experience is a light custom-coded modpack which is interchangeable with the vanilla game. Existing save files can be used and will continue to work when all mods have been removed. Containing mostly minor and some major tweaks, while staying true to the vanilla game experience.

A server can be created by just copying all mods into the server mods folder. Client-side-only mods will be disabled on launch without errors. There are also server files and steps inside how-to-install-server.txt available. Alternatively use the BisectHosting banner at the top for an automatic install.

The modpack contains 148 of Serilum's mods and the library Collective. The entire list can be found at the bottom of the page, feel free to pick and choose to supplement your current packs.

Since TVE stays true to vanilla Minecraft, it's fairly light on memory. In Singleplayer, 3GB of allocated RAM is generally more than enough for smooth performance. If you're hosting or playing with several players, the maximum 8GB should comfortably cover it.
