Vital is a modpack designed as a QoL and performance modpack that dually serves as an alternative to [Essential](https://modrinth.com/mod/essential) and OptiFine.

It includes the majority of Essential and OptiFine's features, including world hosting, cosmetics, many resource pack features, shaders, and so much more.

⭐ Features

🚀 Major performance improvement

Vital is built on top of the bleeding edge Simply Optimized Forked modpack, which improves the performance of every aspect of the game.

🔷 Essential features

Vital contains quite a few mods to replace Essential's features!

• Free world hosting that's secure and private, and does not require the other players to use it
• Simply click "Open to Friends" in the menu to get an IP address you can send to your friends to play!
• Completely free cosmetics!
• You can access these in the mod menu or settings menu. You could also visit the Cosmetica website!
• A bunch of neat skin management features
• Accessible through the main menu!
• Screenshot improvements
• When you take a screenshot, it will let you view it easily. You can also manage your screenshots in-game!
• Log into different accounts from ingame.
• Simply go into the main menu and select the account switcher!
• In-game recording
• Via the brilliant Flashback mod!
• Better organized main menu
• Inspired by Essentials layout; intended to be in the style of vanilla!

🔍 OptiFine features

Vital utilizes the core mods needed to bring over all of OptiFine's benefits;

• OptiFine resource pack features
• Built-in shaders support
• Dynamic lighting from held objects
• Better grass and snow
• OptiFine donator capes (and free capes)
• All OptiFine features and more information on the wiki

💡 Quality of Life

Vital also includes some extra features unrelated to OptiFine, although I aim to keep this list of mods minimal. Mods are suitable for the "other features" section if they are lightweight and unobtrusive. This includes things like:

• Small input fixes for MacOS and Linux players
• Borderless fullscreen window setting in the video settings
• All other features and more information on the Additive wiki

✅ Hardware Compatibility

For Hardware Compatibility information, see the corresponding section in Sodium's Modrinth description.
