✨ Vanilla Changes: A Clean and Elevated Minecraft Experience

Vanilla Changes is a meticulously designed resource pack that delivers subtle but precise improvements to Minecraft’s visuals. It stays fully aligned with the original art style, refining details without altering the core identity. Every texture and adjustment is crafted to merge seamlessly with the default look, preserving the charm players expect.

From cleaner items to clearer GUI's and small visual refinements that enhance your gameplay, Vanilla Changes elevates the experience without ever drawing attention to itself. It does not try to reinvent Minecraft; it improves what already works.

The pack is also structured with creators in mind. Assets are consistently named, neatly organized, and easy to navigate, allowing developers to adapt or extend the pack with minimal effort. It is built to be understood, modified, and expanded with confidence.

❓ Why Vanilla Changes?

Unlike most packs, this one delivers refinement without unnecessary additions. It is made for players who appreciate the vanilla style and want it presented at its highest quality. Vanilla Changes does not attempt to correct Minecraft’s aesthetic; it elevates what already works and adds a few tasteful improvements where they matter. The pack is also built for longevity, with a structure that allows fast updates so you can rely on using it on the latest Minecraft versions with minimal delay.

Add-ons

All Addons require the Base Pack to be installed

Where can I find the Add-ons?

Add-ons are the only versions marked as Alpha. Their naming follows a strict format;

What does the Version Number mean?

Add-ons always use this structure:

Add-on-[version number]
Example: Add-on-V3.2

The version number of an add-on always matches the Base Pack version it is designed for.
If the base pack is V3.2, the add-on will also be V3.2.

How do I tell different add-ons apart?

Each add-on includes a clear name showing what it adds/changes:

Add-on: [add-on name]
Example: Add-on: Dark GUI

Add-on	Description
⬛ Dark GUI	Makes every GUI element darker
🎄 XMas GUI	Adds some Christmas elements to the GUI

...and a lot more!

Serious yap

Vanilla Changes is a massive project that requires a dedicated team to preserve the core vision of the pack. Our standards are very high and because we don't take donations, we can focus on the quality without hoping for any compensation. Yes, we do get some revenue via Modrinth, but it's really not much. Because this project has been getting updates very often, you can tell that this is a our baby. Love, passion and dedication is what keeps this alive.

We hope this journey does not end in the near future
