Vanilla Perfected is the anti-kitchen-sink: no new items, no new mobs — just performance mods, bug fixes and subtle polish on top of current Minecraft. If your group says "we just want vanilla, but good", this is the literal answer.
It tracks new Minecraft versions quickly (it's already on the current release line), making it the rare pack where you play the newest update, modded, on day one.

Questions, answered.
How much RAM does a Vanilla Perfected server need?+
4 GB — the pack is optimization-focused, so it's the lightest modpack we list. Size up only for big player counts.
Is gameplay really unchanged?+
Yes — the pack's rule is vanilla parity: performance mods (Lithium-class), bug fixes and visual polish only. Farms and redstone behave like vanilla.
Can vanilla clients join?+
The pack expects players to run it client-side for the full effect, and matching versions keeps things clean. The server-side gains apply regardless.
