### Highlights in action

**Golden skies that sell the scene.**
Sunsets become a moment worth pausing for — gentle gradients, richer highlights, memorable horizons.

**Biomes with personality.**
Color grading and contrast are tuned so forests, mountains and plains feel distinct and cohesive.


**Caves that invite you in.**

VSS|原版风平滑剑

A vanilla-style smooth sword, achieved by modifying the model, which causes almost no additional performance overhead.

**Vanilla Style**: The number of elements in the sword model is reduced to a minimum. Theoretically, this significant reduction in the number of model elements can also slightly boost the frame rate.

**_Flash Style_**: Compared to the Vanilla Style, it adds glowing outlines when enchanted—experience the flowing light!It can still display PBR effects in a light and shadow environment!

All versions feature 16x textures, identical to the vanilla game.
Additionally, this resource pack fixes the asymmetrical crosshair position in the vanilla game, and reduces the field of view obstruction when the player wears carved pumpkins to 15% of the vanilla intensity.

一款原版风格的平滑剑，通过修改模型实现，几乎不产生额外的性能消耗。

**香草风格**：剑模型的元素数精简至极少。理论上由于极大地减少了模型的元素数，也能微小地提高帧率。

**_灵动风格_**：相较于香草风格增加了附魔时的发光描边，感受流动的光线！在光影环境下还能呈现出PBR效果！

所有版本的纹理都是16x的，和原版一样。
此外，本资源包还修复了原版不对称的准星位置，并将玩家穿戴雕刻南瓜下的视野遮蔽修改为原版强度的15%。

Vanilla Parity

[](https://ko-fi.com/craftyg)

**Vanilla Parity** is a data pack that aims to resolve some parity issues between Minecraft Bedrock and Java, where some features only exist in one version and not the other. This data pack achieves this by bringing over Bedrock-exclusive features over to Java Edition.

### Notable Features
– Advancements from Bedrock and Legacy versions.
– Beds and wool can be re-dyed by crafting.
– Cobwebs can be crafted into 9 string.
– Campfires and candles can be ignited by walking on them while on fire.
– Curing time for zombie villagers are now shorter and at a fixed time duration.
– Armor stands have arms when placed.
– Fallen trees and coral clusters.
– Respawn anchors keep their charge when mined with Silk Touch.
– Shulker drops are affected by Looting, dropping up to 4 shells.
– Tridents with Loyalty return to the player when thrown in the void.

The full list of features can be found in the [wiki](https://github.com/CraftyG/vanilla_parity/wiki).

### Revoked Version
This data pack also has an alternative “Revoked Version” that doesn’t add in the advancement from the original, for those who want to use this along other data packs in their world. Link can be found [here](https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/vanilla-parity-revoked/).

***
**This data pack is made at which extraction is not required. It also contains world generation features that may not be compatible with other data packs that have such features.*

unsup

***Un**a’s **S**imple **Up**dater*

unsup is a somewhat minimal implementation of a generic working directory
syncer in Java. It supports running as a Java agent, to piggy-back off of the
launch of another program.

***It is particularly good at syncing small private modpacks or one-offs in small groups, where a full public distribution (e.g. on Modrinth!) is overkill or undesirable.*** It is capable of downloading mods from their original sources, wherever that may be… as long as it speaks HTTP(S).

An [unsup.ini](https://git.sleeping.town/unascribed/unsup/wiki/Config-format)
must be placed in the working directory for unsup to know what to do, or a `-Dunsup.bootstrapUrl=` JVM argument specifying where to find such a file.

The updater works hard to ensure the working directory is never left in an
inconsistent state. Short of a sudden power loss in the middle of applying
changes (an incredibly short time window), an unsup update cannot result in
an inconsistent or corrupted working directory.

It does hash-based consistency validation (with your choice of function, SHA-256 recommended) on all downloads and on files before overwriting
them, warning the user if they’ve changed something that has been updated. It
additionally supports signing manifests using OpenBSD Signify for additional
security.

unsup’s unique simplified design means it is compatible with **all launchers**,
from the vanilla launcher to MultiMC. Just add `-javaagent:unsup.jar` to the
JVM arguments, and place `unsup.jar` and `unsup.ini` in the .minecraft
directory.

In Prism Launcher, you can utilize unsup as a “component” by importing the
`com.unascribed.unsup.json` from the latest release on Forgejo. (I can’t upload JSON files to Modrinth). This will allow Prism
Launcher to download and manage unsup. (MultiMC does not support Java agent
components, despite requests.)

It also has a built-in concept of *environments* and *flavors*, allowing it to
be used to manage server installs rather than just clients, and allowing users
to pick between multiple mutually incompatible mod sets with a feature-packed interface unlike any other updater tool.

unsup is also capable of updating MultiMC’s “components”, including
unsup itself if it is added as one. This means you can update mod loaders or
Minecraft itself.

## Creating Packs
You can either point unsup at a [Packwiz](https://packwiz.infra.link/) pack.toml (recommended),
or write a native unsup manifest by hand. See [the wiki](https://git.sleeping.town/unascribed/unsup/wiki/Manifest-format) for info on the
native manifest format. The Creator GUI is on hold, as Packwiz has become a
de-facto standard for Minecraft modpacks.

## Stability
unsup has been used for modpacks on versions from b1.7.3 to 1.21.5, both client and server,
and is known to work with Forge (both legacy and modern), Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge. It
has successfully powered many modpacks, from [small](https://git.sleeping.town/Rewind/Upsilon)
to [large](https://github.com/ModFest/bc23-pack). Native manifest and Packwiz manifest
support are both quite stable, and have been used extensively.

Signing support is still somewhat experimental, and has not been deployed by anyone at
large scale. That someone could be you — please let me know if it works well!

## GUI
unsup has a minimal and elegant GUI that works everywhere (yes, including
macOS) and can have all of its colors customized to make it fit in with your
branding. It ships with a dark theme with minty accents. Check out the gallery tab!

## License
unsup is released under the LGPLv3.

Universal Outlined Ores

This is a Minecraft resource pack that adds outlines to ores in mods, making them more visible.
It is trying to be compatible with all mods that add ores (work also with vanilla ores) and for all versions of Minecraft.
It will probably be compatible with OptiFine’s connected textures.

UniLink

## 🔗 UniLink

A mod that allows you to use resources from other directories


## 💼 Usage

This mod works using symbolic links, which can be used like a folder but don’t require reusing (copying) resources. Some launchers also use symbolic links, but the mod works independently of them. It’s a configuration file. The first field specifies the path to the directory to use, and the second field specifies the path to the folder where the symbolic link should be placed. The final path can be absolute (e.g., “`C:….minecraftsaves“`) or abbreviated (“`saves“`).


If you change the directory used for worlds and then revert the change, the game may freeze while searching for and failing to find the required folder. For this purpose, the configuration file has an option to recreate the folders used by the game.

## 🛠️ How it works
By default, the mod does nothing. However, you can add data to the configuration to create a link: the path from which resources will be used and the path where the symbolic link will be created.

### What follows from this:
* After changing the configuration, new links will be added. Therefore, old, unused links will be deleted.

* Since Minecraft creates some folders, the mod will have to delete the existing folder before creating the link. However, since the mod deletes folders without asking, it has a limitation on deleting directories with files inside. This means that if a folder contains any files, it won’t be deleted and the link won’t be created.

Creating symbolic links requires certain permissions. Therefore, some launchers that don’t have them won’t be able to create links. Solution: Run the launcher as administrator.
