Important Changes

This update focuses heavily on improving the ambience, and I would love to hear your feedback on it. Currently, Fabric has amazing ambience mods, but Neoforge offers better functionality—especially with mods like Create. To get the best of both worlds, I’ve added Sinytra Connector (TL;DR: it allows you to run Fabric mods on Forge).

All Fabric mods are client-side only (except for Antique Atlas and its dependencies). This is because Sinytra is usually unstable. Even if Sinytra breaks, it won’t affect your world since the mods are all client-side.

To Add:

• Create + all the addon mods
• A tool mod (Tetra / TC)
• Alekis Ships
• AstikorCarts Redux

To Add?

• Furnish

Removed:

• Xaero's Minimap & World Map: Had a massive performance issue and is being replaced with Antique Atlas 4 (It was responsible for a loss of over 60 FPS 😢).

Added:

• Another Furniture mod
• Serene Seasons
• Glitchcore
• Lithium
• Better Clouds
• Ambient Environment

Sinytra Connector Additions:

• Antique Atlas 4
• Surveyor Map Framework
• Wakes
• Connector Extras
• Immersive Thunder
• Continuity
• Clean F3
• Euphonium
