The Haven SMP modpack
An optional Fabric pack of performance tweaks, quality-of-life features and optional shaders for devices that can handle them, built to work with the Haven server. Never required: a vanilla Java client joins just fine.

Every mod is client-side. Nothing here gives an advantage or changes how survival plays.
