Vanilla Refresh
by limesplatus
Players who want small quality of life changes without a full overhaul can add Vanilla Refresh, a server expansion with more than 30 optional features.
What it does
Vanilla Refresh collects small gameplay, immersion, creative mode and multiplayer changes into one mod. Its features aim to improve the game while keeping the vanilla experience intact. Each feature can be switched on or off in the settings menu, opened with the chat command /function vanilla refresh: settings, and turned back on at any time.
The server must run Vanilla Refresh, while players may install it to reach the settings screen. Refresh Autoset requires the mod. Vanilla Refresh is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for server platforms, with files covering 1.18 – 26.2 and snapshot builds included. The code is under a custom license and is not open source. Its first file dates from 2022-11-24 and the latest update from 2026-07-23.
