Quality of Life

I've put pretty much every quality of life mod I could find or think of into the pack. Everything from Better F1 to bring quality of life features to chests to something as simple as Better F1 to make taking screenshots a breeze. There's nearly too many things to list here. You'll just have to trust that I've scoured the web for as many quality of life mods as I thought would be useful in the pack.

Building

Whether you're drawing inspiration from one of the new structures in the world or wanting to build something from scratch, we've got you covered - in an immersive, vanilla-friendly way. With Stoneworks you'll be able to texture, detail, and demolish to your heart's content. There are also a large collection of new blocks to experiment with thanks to the "More Variants" series of mods and mods such as Stoneworks.

The UI

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit getting the UI for the modpack set up exactly the way I like it - useful, pretty, and minimal. With Jade, REI, UniqueDark, and many more the UI is familiar but brought into the modern age - dark mode, search, inventory sorting, easy transfer to chests, and more.

Anything Else?

Sure. We've got more animations, mob variety, crafting station tweaks, backpacks, bug fixes, a whole heap of optimization mods, a loading screen that won't blind you when it opens, particles and effects, more sounds and ambiance, music controls, more weapons, Copper Equipment, fast leaf decay, veinmine, upgradable storage, and shaders, to briefly mention the other features of the pack.

FAQ

How do I disable shaders?

Shaders are enabled by default, but you can turn them off by pressing the letter O key on your keyboard and turning them off with that menu.

Distant Horizons uses my entire CPU!

Well, yes, it will when it's first generating LODs for the terrain beyond your chunk render distance. However, if it continues to consume most of your CPU's resources, then you can tweak the settings for it via the Mod Menu. My recommended settings are Low for Quality and Minimal Impact for the CPU usage. Setting those should keep the functionality of Distant Horizons without making your CPU capable of frying an egg.

What *isn't* included in the pack?

Cinnamon Swirl isn't an expert pack. It's not an automation pack. It's not a magic pack. Mods like Mekanism, Botania, Mystical Agriculture, and so on have all been excluded on purpose. Cinnamon Swirl's purpose is to fulfill my vision of a vanilla+ modpack. To me, that means I'm still playing Minecraft, just with some things to make the game prettier, more interesting, and easier to interact with. I want to be able to wander the world for hours and see something new the whole time, and eventually settle down and make some interesting builds when the urge strikes me. That's what Cinnamon Swirl is, at its core.
