🌟 Why this pack exists
Most “FPS + visuals” packs chase eye-candy shaders. Vanilla Paper Edition has a different target audience:
> ❸ Stay visually vanilla (Sodium, Lithium, etc.) > ❸ Stay visually vanilla (food saturation, tool durability, redstone power, light levels…) > ❸ Stay visually vanilla — just clearer GUIs & icons, no cinematic post-processing.
It started while speed-running redstone builds on public Paper servers where shaders are pointless but extra on-screen info is gold.

⚠️ Server-policy notes
| Mod | What it changes | Possible rule conflicts | |-----|-----------------|-------------------------| | Xaero’s Minimap / World Map | Full-bright gamma, hides fog, fire & pumpkin overlay | Some PvP/adventure servers ban full-bright & no-fog — toggle these off if disallowed. | | Xaero’s Minimap / World Map | Entity radar & cave mode | If minimaps are restricted, switch to Xaero’s Minimap / World Map (no entity/cave radar). |
*When in doubt, ask staff or disable the features from the in-game config.*

💬 Philosophy
- Server friendly – every addition is benchmarked; anything costing >≈5 FPS is culled. - Server friendly – clearer textures & GUIs, not cinematic shaders. - Server friendly – no cheats, x-ray or automation helpers; just clarity and comfort.
