Our notes on Fresh & Smooth

What sets it apart

Fresh & Smooth is a visual overhaul that tries to stay on the client. The author names two Bedrock Marketplace add-ons, Actions & Stuff and Realistic Biomes, as the inspiration, and the goal is a Java equivalent built from mods and resource packs.

The foundation is Fresh Animations with a long list of its extensions, driven by Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features. Around that are Not Enough Animations, player animation mods, particle packs such as Particle Rain and Visual Effects+, Sound Physics Remastered, Presence Footsteps, and many small 3D item and mob texture packs.

The latest 26.3 release lists about 180 Modrinth projects. It also bundles Iris with several shader packs.

Who it suits

Players who like vanilla gameplay but want mobs, items, weather and the player model to look more animated. It suits people who would rather not assemble and order dozens of resource packs themselves.

It is a poor fit for weak hardware. The author says the pack needs a capable computer, with the processor mattering most because of the animations and particles.

Before you install

Most builds are for Fabric, covering 1.20.1 through 26.3. A NeoForge build exists only for 1.21.1 and dates from May 2025.

Not every version line is equally complete. The 26.3 release notes say some mods were dropped to get the port working. The CurseForge page says the 1.21.6 build crashes sometimes and points people to 1.21.5 for stability. Several lines are tagged beta on Modrinth.

A few pieces are bundled from outside Modrinth, including a Sildur’s shader pack and the Touch’n Motion player animation mod added in the 26.3 release.

Performance work is ongoing. The 26.2 notes mention trimming mods to reduce particle load.

Playing with friends

Modrinth marks the pack as client-only, and changelog entries show the author working to keep it client-sided: one build was re-uploaded because the earlier upload was not client-sided.

The author’s own advice is to play on a server instead of single-player, so the server handles entities and chunks while the PC handles visuals.

No server pack is provided. The mod list does include a few entries Modrinth does not mark as client-only, such as Take a Seat. Whether those features work on a vanilla server is not documented.
