Description

The best optimization Modpack!

Including a bunch of optimization mods, resource packs, shaders, but with that taste of vanilla Minecraft!

Modpack features

- Optimization

T.E.M. is made with the best optimization mods, such as:

- Fabric

T.E.M. is built using the Fabric mod loader, a loader that is lightweight, fast and full of mods.

- Optifine

T.E.M. supports most of the Optifine Features, such as:

  • Dynamic Light: Dynamic Light is a feature that is famous from, example, holding the torch in one hand and lighting the way.
  • Connected Textures: Its famous from having connected glass, connected sand, etc; due to the Continuity mod, made by PepperCode1, and a few resource packs that i put (check Resource Packs area).
  • Custom Entity/Texture models: T.E.M. has the [EMF] and [ETF] mods. Both of those mods provides Optifine features, such as:
    • Custom Entity Model: CEM is an optifine feature that allows mods or resource packs to use custom entity models.
    • Entity Texture Features: [ETF] mod adds more entity texture features, such as entity and player skin features.

In-Game Features:

  • Dynamic Lights: T.E.M. is made using the LambDynamicLights, a mod made by LambdAurora, which adds dynamic lights into the game. A good example is when you're holding a torch in your hand and lighting the way.

  • Zoom: T.E.M. has a zoom feature, thanks to the WI Zoom mod, made by Alexander01998, that when pressing the "V" key, will give you a zoom.

  • Shaders Compatibility: T.E.M has the Iris Shaders mod, made by coderbot, which can load shaders from Optifine, being also, very customizable.

  • Download Resource Packs, shaders and worlds inside minecraft: We have installed Resourcify, made by DeDiamondPro, a mod that lets you download resource packs, shaders, and even worlds inside minecraft. When downloading resource packs or shaders, the main providor will be modrinth, but when downloading worlds, the main providor is CurseForge. But you can change the platform that you're going to use inside the download pages.

  • Resource pack tweaks: T.E.M. already comes with 12 resource pack, being 11 of them really good Quality of life resource packs. It comes with New Glowing Ores, Default Dark Mode, Vanilla Animated Food, and also, we have VanillaTweaks resource packs installed. In total, we have 23 features, and each category of them can be changed in the resource packs part. I recommend you take a look first at the resource pack especifications at the end of this page. It will help you decide which resource you'd like to keep or not.

Mods:

In 1.21.5, 2 mods are incompatible. Even though in 1.21.4 it has 59 mods, (and 1.21.5 has 53) one of the mods on 1.21.4 is Memory leak Fix, which was added via an override. SInce Memory Leak Fix is an override, its not counted as an incompatible mod Obviously other mods were added via override, but Memory Leak Fix is not any compatible with 1.21.5
