Serene Valley

_A modpack that offers a more magical experience, both light and whimsy, and dark._

Overview

Mystical world exploration

Collection of various world-gen mods improves the landscape and increases biome variety. Also, the Nether has become more grand with amplified mods, and the End finally has gotten more life in it. _No more uninspired repeating vanilla biomes!_

Immersive environmental experience

Default sound systems make the game feel very stale, so with reworking the audio, the game feels a lot more alive and immersive, adding reverberation and more realistic ambient sounds. All new sound rework features pair well with shaderpack visuals and animated resourcepacks. _Removing dullness of sound by adding more dimension!_

Smooth animated menus

Addition of various UI and HUD mods allow for interactive smooth transitions and animations, making the game feel more complete and fun! _Now with ragdolling and sparkling items._

Increased performance optimization

Nothing more to explain, other than that this modpack includes all of the classic optimization mods for Fabric. _All power to FPS, and no more slow worlds._

Setup

_Uses screenshots from Pre-Release versions. However, all content shown below is still relevant with up-to-date versions._

Serene custom menu

On first launch you should be greeted with a new menu screen! With a custom-made resourcepack and the power of FancyMenu, this modpack offers a new clean and simple menu, with Essential integration. Start-up loading screen also edited! _Intended GUI scale is 3x_, but feel free to play around with it for your comfort.

Play with keybinds

First thing that’s highly recommended to check is the keybinds section of the settings menu. As this modpack includes a huge amount of mods, obviously, a lot of them map the same keys, therefore causing the game to have multiple conflicting keybinds. Please first check this menu, play around and set what’s right for you and what you want!

Multiplayer with Essential

This is a huge convenience for those that want to host a world for the duration of the session, without the hassle of keeping a server in check and paying monthly fees for one. After having created a new world, set up the hosting and invite your friends! Note, your friend must have an Essential account!

Resourcepack layering

Please note that specific resourcepacks can override others if they have confilcting elements. If you are making your own personal additions for your own gameplay, please remember it’s preferred to keep the original intended resourcepack order.

Play more with settings

Once in the game, feel free to go into the settings and mods section and further personalize your experience to suit your needs and specs. It is highly recommended to play around with Distant Horizons, as not all machines can handle extremely high LOD distance rendering. Turn on and off shaders as needed to improve performance.

_To view how the game is intended to view with everything turned on and with modpack configurations, please view the screenshots that are posted in the gallery. The gallery will always be updated with relevant screenshots to reflect specific updates._
