About this modpack

!A banner that says "what is mc.enhance?"

---

This modpack aims to provide a balanced mix of performance and quality of life mods, all of which are client-side and multiplayer friendly.

I believe many of the mods in this pack should be included in the base game due to how useful they are. And although each mod may be small on their own, together they succeed in creating an enhanced vanilla-plus experience! Several mods provide information already in the game but in a more practical & appealing manner, making it both easier for new players to learn game mechanics and for veterans to utilize that info.

mc.enhance will be updated weekly with backports arrriving soon!
