What's this?
The Blossom Grove Pack is a small, custom pack intended to be cute and performant. It was primarily made so I could stream with it! The pack is made for multiplayer, but should also be fun to play in singleplayer, and the whole thing has been stress-tested on low-end laptops, to make sure you don't need too much of a supercomputer to play it. See
Configuration has been tuned here and there to make UI elements fit together and to generally tweak the game to feel Right to me.
Keybinds changed are based on my weird keyboard, so you might need to change those if anything feels wrong to you! Additionally, the narrator is defaulted to on. This is because I can't set default keybinds without Minecraft treating the options.txt as a reason to skip the first-time-setup accessibility menu. Please set the game in a way that is accessible to you. <3
Ok but what's in it?
A bunch of things, but not too much. Primarily, we included Botania and Create as our interfaces with technology and automation, Fabric Seasons and Terralith and a few structure datapacks to spice up the world and make it beautiful, and then lots of little visual tweaks and other niceties, with some performance mods to help. Peruse the full mod list at your leisure.
Optional Mod Reccommendations:
I originally was going to include Smooth Chunk Save but I didn't really want to fuss about getting permissions. It's been pretty good for performance, though. MidnightControls and Amecs are ones a friend uses for accessibility with this pack, and might be useful to you, too.
Bare Minimum System Specs & Performance:
RAM: 4-6GB ram (probably, we're at the whims of Java here a bit though) CPU: 2-core/4-thread 2.67 GHz Processor GPU: OpenGL 4.5-capable card

This pack has been tested to load singleplayer worlds at a minimum of 1280 MiB (1.2 GiB) of memory allocated in Java as of BGv1.1.1 (Currently in testing. Unless it's released, in which case, I forgot to remove this parenthetical). I think it's possible to join servers with even less RAM. In practice, Java uses about 3.4-3.5 GiB at that amount of allocated memory (on my high-end gaming rig), due to some nonsense about heap (that's the stuff you allocate) vs non-heap (java gets to decide what it gets of this) memory.
GPU/CPU tests provided by my friend with a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop with an Nvidia NVS3100 GPU, 4GB RAM, and an Intel Core I5-580M 2.67 GHz processor. Got 10FPS in singleplayer, 20FPS on a server - Barely playable.
Additional Attribution Notes:
