Client Compressed

_Client Compressed_ is a fully Client-sided modpack for the latest version of Minecraft, aiming to optimise the game for better performance along with adding things like ambient effects and shaders. It is heavily inspired by _Fabulously Optimised_. _Client Compressed_ is being actively developed by NJS-Studios along with its leader _NJS_.

We recommend it to people who wish for a well-optimised experience, but also want to make the game feel more alive and vibrant.

PLEASE NOTE:

-_Client Compressed_ is still in very early development. Don’t expect everything to be perfect yet.

-_Client Compressed_ is being worked on by one person, so updates might take a while to come out.
