Vanilla Client
by TuanAng
Vanilla Client is a Fabric mod that runs only on the client and offers small quality-of-life settings while keeping the game close to its original form.
What it does
The mod changes only the client side. Its settings cover gamma, night vision and the overlays and offsets for the pumpkin, fire and shield effects, plus the size and pop animation of the totem. Anyone seeking a tidier, more practical client with no added content can tune these settings and leave everything else unchanged.
The mod is built on Fabric and is published for four release versions: 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.6.3 for 26.1.2 as the latest file, dated 2026-05-24. Snapshot builds are published as well. Vanilla Client is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. It was first published on 2026-03-22 and last updated on 2026-05-24.
