This modpack is designed to make Minecraft better. A lot of Minecrafters play vanilla, when there is so much customization for you. I have put together a modpack that has all the best stuff that every minecrafter should have. This modpack will optimize performance and graphics, and some cool features in there. I also went into the config files and changed some stuff for more fair play and stuff, so mods arent exactly like when you download them.
The modpack is in 1.8.9, because thats a version most servers support, what most mods support, and before 1.9 ruined combat.
TLDR
A lot of the mods increase FPS and decrease CPU and RAM usage. There are more settings in the settings plus resource packs and shaders (Look below for more information on that), some do cool stuff that don't require you to do anything, but here are some commands and things you should know that do some pretty cool stuff:
By default, pressing C zooms in, most people with optifine are familiar with that, but now it doesn't smooth your mouse inputs and you can scroll to change how far you zoom.
"/patcher" has more options for you to control.
"/modcore" allows you to change more settings in the social part of these mods, like notifications from friends, or cosmetic visibility.
There is an autocorrect, a read line will appear under a word you misspell, right click to see how to correct it
Autogg automatically has you say "gg" at the end of a game. "/autogg" lets you customize it however you like.
Autotip automatically tips players and by extension gives you free coins and experience on hypixel. "/autotip stats" lets you see what you've earned by having to mod enabled, "/autotip info" shows the current settings you have for autotip, "/autotip messages" show, compact, or hide messages from tipping people, "/autotip toggle" toggles autotip on and off, and "/autotip wave" will tell you when the next wave of tips are coming.
If you play Hypixel Skyblock do "/sba" to open a menu with a bunch of helpful features.
There should be a new option in your options called 5zig, you can program your own overlay and theres new options.
"/cosmeticstudio" will allow you to equip any cosmetics you have if you have bought it from the sk1er store: https://store.sk1er.club/ (only people with the ModCore mod will see it).
"/sidebarmod" will open a menu that lets you change the side bar on your screen.
"/bossbar" will open a menu that lets you change the bass bar on your screen.

Patcher:
This ones a big one: This mod fixes a lot of bugs, and has Minecraft use less memory. It's kind of like a 13+ in one mod, with mods including NoCloseMyChat, Vanilla Enhancements, Compact Chat, etc. "/Patcher" for more options, (QUality Of Life is where the good stuff is at).

SkyblockAddons:
This will change everything if you play Hypixel Skyblock, and if you don't it will change nothing. I disabled a bunch of the default UI because I know a lot of people don't play skyblock, but if you do "/sba" you open a menu with a ton of options to help you with skyblock.

Replay Mod:
This probably won't be super useful to some, but it's here. You can now "record" minecraft sessions, and playback + render recordings in a new option on the menu. Set camera angles and paths, & render at high framerates and resolutions.

5zig:
I had this mod enabled a while ago, but there was a few annoying bugs that I couldn't fix. In your options there should be a new option called "5zig" with a lot of new options, there is also an overlay you can make that will allow you to see a lot of new information, like ping, keystrokes, coordinates, etc. I have 2 enabled by default, a UI that shows what potion affects you have, and an AFK timer that activated after 30 seconds to work with FPS Reducer.

Resource Pack List
Vanilla Revised Textures:
I used to have a lot of modpacks with different uses, but that was just confusing for everyone, so I just made my own with little changes, such as the tip of an arrow turns slightly red when the bow is at full power, slightly shorter swords for more screen space, highlighted ores, HD Font, clear glass; so it looks like... glass, lower fire when your on fire so you can see stuff like that.
