100% Optimization Focused

We built this modpack with extreme simplicity in mind since we have been looking for something like this ourselves. Unlike with most other packs, you will find:

• NO unnecessary quality-of-life mods.
• NO visual enhancements.
• NO content additions or random mods.

Key Features

🚀 2x Faster Chunk Loading: Seamless gameplay with multi-threaded chunk generation and a completely rewritten lighting engine. Whether you are teleporting or flying with an Elytra, the world loads faster than ever by utilizing all available CPU cores instead of relying on a single thread.

💾 Reduced RAM Usage: Using advanced memory management and data storage, this modpack lowers the RAM required to run the server. This prevents "Out of Memory" crashes and allows you to host a smooth experience even on budget hardware.

⚡ Optimized TPS & MSPT: By rewriting core game physics, entity tracking, and mob AI logic, this modpack makes sure your server processes ticks efficiently. Resulting a stable 20 TPS and low MSPT, allowing for complex redstone contraptions and higher player counts.

🌐 Smoother Networking: Optimized network stacks and packet compression reduce the bandwidth usage between the server and players. This minimizes rubber-banding and hit-registration issues, ensuring a responsive experience for everyone.

✅ Full Vanilla Compatibility: All optimizations are strictly internal code improvements that respect vanilla mechanics. Players can join with a standard vanilla client, no extra downloads required on their end.

Huge thank you to all the individual mod creators. Without you, this modpack would not exist. Please go show some love to them. But now, stop waiting and install the modpack!

Q: Do I need the modpack on the client?
A: No, the pack is fully server side and does not need to be installed on the client.

Q: How can I install the modpack?

Q: Where can I get support, report a bug, or give feedback?
A: Join our Discord Server to report any bugs or get help.

Q: My server still feels choppy?
