📖 About 📖
JAG's Essentials, as described by the tagline, is a modpack that brings Minecraft to modern standards, through many QOL, performance, and visual upgrades, by featuring my own personal essential mods. It enhances the core Minecraft experience without straying from its original charm, making the game feel more performant, and generally higher quality, while keeping it very vanilla. From better performance and improved lighting to controller support and dynamic sound, every change is designed to feel like a natural upgrade rather than a complete overhaul. Whether you're exploring, building, or playing with friends, JAG's Essentials provides a polished, enjoyable experience for both new and old players.
🛠️ Features 🛠️
- Better performance, with Sodium, Lithium, C2ME, Noisium, and FerriteCore
- More particles for stuff like breaking and placing blocks, plus water splashes and other stuff
- Improved sound physics so there's reverb in caves
- Pixelated shadows and lighting with Miniature Shader, that fits perfectly within the vanilla aesthetic
- VanillaTweaks resource pack that fixes and changes a ton of stuff
- Controller support for both Xbox and PlayStation controllers
- Dynamic lighting from torches and other light sources
- The ability to install resource and shader packs in game
- Full rotation in third person so it doesn't feel as clunky

v4.1Релиз26.2 · 4 августа 2026 г.
THE VERY SMALL AND MILD UPDATE
- Updated a few mods
- Also updated the Wakes mod so it's now available again
- That's it lmao
v4.0.1Релиз26.2 · 18 июля 2026 г.
THE SMALLEST OF ALL THE PATCHES PATCH
- Added Noisum since it turns out it's available again lol
- Further removed a few useless config files
v4Релиз26.2 · 18 июля 2026 г.
THE NOT SO MAJOR UPDATE
- New rebrand! Should be more unique and less generic now, and should hopefully be the final rebrand, lmao
- Some mods removed that added minor functionality but seemed heavy on performance, such as Particle Rain or Essential removed (Essential removed since Java will have peer-to-peer multiplayer soon)
- Rebrand was also to justify making a v4 lmao cuz I didn't wanna stay on v3 forever
- Rremoved the dark mode resource pack as an optional pack since it was kind of unneded imo but you can always install it yourself
- Updated Vanilla Tweaks pack (as always)
- Added Smooth Entity Shadows as a default resource pack
- Unfortunately this version doesn't have Enchanted's Sodium Options but that's because it doesn't support the latest version of Sodium yet
- Cleaned up and removed a bunch of unused config files
- Updated Miniature Shader as well
v3.10Релиз26.2 · 23 июня 2026 г.
THE I'M RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS UPDATE
- Updated pack to 26.2
- For some reason I couldn't include the Essential mod config in the export, I'll see if I can in a later patch
- Updated Vanilla Tweaks pack
- Updated most mods, some incompatible ones are disabled
- Not much else was changed honestly
- I don't really have plans for any major overhauls so v4 might not happen, idk
v3.9Релиз26.1.2 · 4 июня 2026 г.
THE SHINY UPDATE
- Might have used a similar update name before but oh well
- Added the Shine mod for colored lighting and bloom with vanilla lighting
- I have tested, and having shaders enabled automatically disables all Shine effects
- Vanilla Tweaks pack update again
- Miniature Shader config update again
- Updated a whole bunch of mods
- Some other bits and bobs? I can't remember what else I've added lmao
v3.8.1Релиз26.1.2 · 4 мая 2026 г.
THE ITSY BITSY COMPATABILITY PATCH
- Updated some mods
- Downgraded Sodium a version for compatibility with Voxy (will probably be updated soon)
- Changed music frequency from Constant to Frequent in audio settings
- Fixed resource pack order
- Default render distance is 24 again
- Updated Vanilla Tweaks pack (again)
- Changed Miniature Shader settings ever so slightly
- Miscellaneous small config changes
v3.8Релиз26.1.2 · 19 апреля 2026 г.
THE I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE UPDATE
- Updated to 26.1.2
- Disabled Cosy Critters & Creepy Crawlies by default as some players may not want the feature or find it obtrusive
- Disabled Voxy in the video settings by default due to heavy performance issues with lower end devices (can still be enabled in-game)
- Updated VanillaTweaks pack for 26.1
- Added Caelesti Fenestra as a default resource pack for better looking glass
- Removed Cubes Without Borders as borderless fullscreen is now a default option for vanilla Minecraft
- Added Enchanted's Sodium Options to make Sodium's video settings screen look more like vanilla
- A bunch of other mods are disabled for the time being as I wait for them to update, once they update there'll be a new version with them enabled, for now keep them disabled to prevent your game from crashing
v3.7Релиз1.21.11 · 24 марта 2026 г.
THE REALLY ATMOSPHERIC UPDATE
- This was not in fact the last update for 1.21.11
- Added Voxy as an alternative to Distant Horizons, and as a result, set the render distance back down to 16 by default
- Added Atmosfera for a subtle ambient soundscape
- Added Cosy Critters & Creepy Crawlies to add client-sided birds and other small creatures to enhance the vanilla atmosphere
- Added the Just Like Rays mod by default, but due to it changing how vanilla lighting works, I have disabled it by default, making it optional
- Removed ScalableLux for compatibility with Just Like Rays
- Added Wakes, since it finally updated, despite the fact that there will be a new version of the game very soon
