HeXHub.net optimized | Handheld

# About A **client-side** Fabric pack for **vanilla multiplayer**. It changes no gameplay, adds no items and needs nothing installed on the server — you can join any vanilla or Paper server with it, modded or not. Built and tested for **HeXHub.net**, so it is preconfigured for that network out of the box. Nothing ties it to HeXHub, though; it works just as well anywhere else. ## What's inside - **Performance** — Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ImmediatelyFast, EntityCulling, C2ME and friends. The game runs better than vanilla before you touch a setting. - **View distance** — **Distant Horizons** renders terrain far past the chunk limit your server hands out. - **Shaders** — **Complementary Shaders by EminGT** via Iris, preconfigured and ready. Euphoria Patcher assembles it on first launch. - **Visuals** — connected textures, custom entity models and textures from resource packs, better skies, particles, explosions and weather. - **Audio** — realistic sound occlusion and reverb, per-block footsteps, and proximity voice chat via **Simple Voice Chat** (needs the server to run it — HeXHub does). - **Chat** — player heads next to messages, longer history, working chat search and copy. - **Interface** — Xaero's minimap and world map, tooltips via Jade, hunger and saturation via AppleSkin, a readable F3 screen, zoom, free look. - **Input** — full controller support via Controlify, including Steam Deck. - **Menu** — custom main menu with HeXHub.net already in the server list. Full mod list on the **Versions** tab. ## Fair play This pack is meant to be usable on servers that ban cheat clients, so it stays on the right side of that line by default: - The minimap ships without cave view, entity radar or anything else that shows you what you could not see yourself. - Free look turns your head without moving you. No freecam, no spectator mode, nothing that detaches the camera from your body. - The locator bar only shows what the server chooses to send. - Nothing that automates play. Fair-play settings are the defaults, not a lock. If you change them, that is between you and the server you play on. ## Settings Everything is preconfigured — graphics, shaders, map, utilities — so the pack works out of the box. Keybinds are cleaned up only where mods collide. Vanilla keys and the keys you actually use stay where you expect them; minor mod keys get moved or unbound. Mouse and gameplay options stay at vanilla defaults. Audio does not: sound occlusion, reverb and footsteps are part of what this pack is for. Everything is a toggle away in the mod menu. **YOSBR** keeps your own settings across updates. Pack defaults apply only on a fresh install, or when a new mod arrives without an existing config. ## About Distant Horizons Distant Horizons builds its long-range terrain from chunks you have loaded, so the view keeps growing as you explore — and stays that way on your next visit. It needs nothing on the server side. ## This edition — Handheld For handhelds and entry-level gaming PCs. Shaders and Distant Horizons are on, tuned for a stable frame rate on a small power budget rather than maximum detail. Controller layout and UI scale are set up for a handheld screen. Reference device: **Steam Deck OLED** ## Which edition? | | Target | Shaders | Reference device | |---|---|---|---| | **[Potato](https://modrinth.com/modpack/hexhub.net-optimized-potato)** | old laptops, weak PCs | no | i7-7200U, 8 GB | | **Handheld** *(this one)* | handhelds, entry-level PCs | yes | Steam Deck OLED | | **[Enhanced](https://modrinth.com/modpack/hexhub.net-optimized-enhanced)** | gaming PCs | yes | RTX 3070, 32 GB | The core mod list is shared across editions — what differs is the preconfiguration, and which visual and audio mods are included at all. ## Minecraft versions Tracks recent releases, currently **26.1.2**, with builds for **1.21.10–1.21.11** and **1.21.8**. Version support follows what HeXHub.net runs. ## Status **Alpha.** Under active development, updated often, expect the occasional rough edge. Feedback is welcome on Discord. ## License and attribution Mods are not redistributed by this pack — your launcher downloads them from their original authors, under their own licenses. Only the pack's own files (configs, assets, texts) are covered by this project's **MIT** license.
