Vanilla Ultra Deluxe
This modpack aims to include the best mods and resource packs I could find while still remaining compatible with vanilla servers. It includes all your favorite client-side mods, and if it doesn't, add it yourself!
Notable features
- Enchanted books and potions all have their own texture to distinguish them easily.
Credit to Even Better Enchants by mythitorium and Xali's Potions by xalixilax
- Stacking to nearby chests (Like a built in, quicker, copper golem)
Credit to Stack to Nearby Chests by Xiaocihua
- Hold R to swap between tools by scrolling (Like an inventory managing update!)
Credit to ItemSwapper by tr7zw
Sorting inventories (Your own and your storage)
Automatic elytra swapping (Just press space while falling and your elytra will equip itself)
Some more useful keybinds are:
- C to Zoom (Like a spyglass without a spyglass)
- F4 to Freecam (No noclipping, solely for looking at your builds!)
- F9 for Light Overlay (See where mobs can spawn)
- B to mute specific sounds
- X to inspect your tools in first person (it makes them do a little spin!)
Shaders
This modpack uses Iris with the beautiful Complementary Shaders. To make this even better we have added the Euphoria Patches addon, creating an absolutely beautiful world to explore and live in. To make the world feel bigger the mod Distant Horizons is also installed, which allows you to see much farther without being limited by the normal render distance.
Optimization
From Sodium to Entity Culling to dynamic FPS, this modpack utilizes all the best optimization mods I could find to make your experience as smooth as possible.
Cosmetic additions

Gameplay additions
As said in the "Notable features" section, this modpack uses Stack to Nearby Chests. Furthermore we use Nemo's Inventory Sorting for easy and quick sorting and ClickThrough Plus so that a sign on a chest won't be an annoyance for once.
Other notable gameplay additions are:
- AppleSkin; Shows food value of edible items
- Armor Hud; Shows you your armor durability in your hotbar
- Better Mount HUD; Shows more of your stats while riding a mount
- Controlling; Search your keybinds
- Cut Through; Swing weapons through grass

- JJElytraSwap; Use your elytra whenever you please
- Light Overlay; Light up your base against mobs
- Locator Heads; See who actually are those colored dots
- Overflowing Bars; More armor info on hud
- Peek; Look into shulker boxes (and more)
- Pick Up Notifier; See what you are picking up, and how much
- Projectile Trajectory Preview; Never miss a pearl again
- Replanter Plus; Make farming less of a hassle
- Sounds Be Gone!; Mute those annoying cows or chickens
- VTDownloader; Allows you to download vanilla tweaks on the fly with whatever options you want
- Xaero's Minimap; See where you're going
- Xaero's World Map; See where you've been
Datapacks
There is one datapack included in this modpack and it, being a datapack, is completely optional for singleplayer survival, won't affect multiplayer experience and will not leave your world unable to update without it. The Datapack is called Remove Anvil Prior Work Penalty. This datapack makes it so that repairing items will always cost 1 experience level. This makes it so you can keep using tools without having to grind villagers for mending, which I personally hate more than anything in this game.
Fun additions
Lastly, I added a few personal additions that you are free to remove if you wish. I added Cute Animal Models Backport because I personally can't wait for the new baby mobs to be in the game and I added Do a Barrel Roll because I prefer it over the usual elytra flight and I think everyone should give it a try! (You can toggle Do a Barrel Roll off through the menu when you press V)
