HeXHub.net optimized | Potato

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.
• View distance — Distant Horizons renders terrain far past the chunk
  limit your server hands out. On weak hardware this is the single biggest
  visual gain available.
• Shaders (optional) — off by default. E-LITE by Entokito, based on
  MakeUp – Ultra Fast by Javier Garduño, is included via Iris to try on low
  settings, with MakeUp – Ultra Fast as an alternative. Expect lower frame rates.
• Voice — proximity voice chat via Simple Voice Chat (needs the server to
  run it — HeXHub does).
• 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.
• 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.

Same mod list as the other editions, minus everything that costs frames:
shaders off by default, no extra particles, no atmospheric or audio mods.

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, 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 %.

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 — Potato

For very weak PCs and old laptops. Every setting is chosen for frames first: the
game renders at 70 % resolution by default, and you can raise that in the
RenderScale settings if your machine can take it.

Reference machine: notebook with i7-7200U, integrated graphics, 8 GB RAM

Which edition?

	Target	Shaders	Reference device
Potato (this one)	old laptops, weak PCs	optional (off)	i7-7200U, 8 GB
Handheld	handhelds, entry-level PCs	yes	Steam Deck OLED
Enhanced	gaming PCs	yes	RTX 3070, 32 GB

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

Currently 26.2. The pack focuses on the Minecraft version HeXHub.net runs
and follows the server when it updates.

Status

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