What's Essentially Enhanced?

Essentially Enhanced is a client-side modpack dedicated to amazing optimization and great looks. It is designed in collaboration with Essentially Optimized to deliver the greatest performance boost out of all the modpacks while also making Minecraft look better.

Thanks to the collaboration with Essentially Optimized, this pack outperforms other similar Quality Of Life & Visual modpacks. Here's also a performance test to prove that:

^{Tested on 32 chunk render & shadow distance. With lower distances, FPS will be much higher.}

Beauty ≠ Low Performance

While Essentially Optimized pushes your PC to the absolute limit for raw FPS, Essentially Enhanced sacrifices a small amount of that speed to make the game look gorgeous. It's still buttery smooth, just with 3D models and more realistic animations.

Key Features

🧬 Vanilla... But Alive: Forget the stiff, robotic movement of vanilla mobs. With Fresh Animations, every mob in your world moves with personality. Villagers stride with purpose, spiders crawl terrifyingly, and slimes bounce with actual weight. Combined with 3D Skin Layers, players and mobs finally look like part of the world.

👁️ Optifine Parity: This modpack also includes the most loved features from Optifine. Like zoom, connected textures, dynamic lights, in-depth video settings etc. Perfect alternative for that!

🚀 Beauty with Brains: Most "aesthetic" modpacks destroy your framerate, not this one. Because it’s built on the same foundation as Essentially Optimized, you get these next-gen visuals while still running 3-4x faster than Vanilla. It is the perfect balance of eye candy and raw horsepower.
