Vanilla feel. Infinite views. Zero bloat.

Barely Boosted is built for players who want the modern Minecraft experience without sacrificing performance. The core gameplay loop remains intact, but the world is now significantly more immersive and actually worth exploring.

- Performance & Visuals

1. Voxy: Voxy takes the lead here instead of Distant Horizons to deliver massive, highly performant LODs (Level of Detail). You can see for miles without melting your GPU
2. Fresh Animations: Mobs now move like living creatures rather than stiff cardboard boxes, thanks to FreshLX’s animation overhaul.
3. FPS Optimization: A curated suite of performance mods ensures high framerates even with the expanded terrain.

- Quality of Life

1. Inventory Management: Easy Shulker Boxes allow access to loot without placing the box.
2. Crafting Persistence: Crafting Tables and Enchanting Tables now hold items. No more spewing diamonds on the floor just because the UI was closed.
3. The "Easy" Suite: The pack features Easy Anvils and Easy Magic for a smoother progression experience that respects your time.

- World Generation Overhaul

1. Overworld: Enhanced by Geophilic for subtle, beautiful terrain improvements that don't break the vanilla vibe, plus Dungeons and Taverns and a bunch of other structure mods that add a lot of variety to your world and also to increase things to raid.
2. The Nether (Incendium): A complete reimagining of the Nether with terrifying new biomes and structures.
3. The End (Stellarity): The End is no longer a barren wasteland. Experience a completely overhauled Ender Dragon fight, new biomes, and a reason to actually stay in the dimension.
4. Friends & Foes: Brings the "forgotten" mobs from Minecraft Mob Votes (Iceologer, Wildfire, Glare, etc.) back into the game where they belong.

PS:

1. Voxy has an amazing support for Photon (search for Photon Voxy Support - Github).
2. In Resource Packs, Add Fresh Animations first and the extensions for it on top of it
