Removals & Compatibility

• 3D Items (by weskerson): Removed due to zero compatibility with Punchy!.
• FA Objects: Removed.

• better resource pack organization

• unlocked unlimited FPS option (re-enable if you're experiencing FPS drops)

• removed unnecessary packs from the list

• Optimized the modpack to work with Punchy now

• HMI was very demanding, and also outdated, with punchy we managed a jump by roughly 300% (in my case, from 200FPS, to 700FPS)

• More Animations have been added, you'll find it hard to do something and see a dedicated animation for it

• The unused packs are all optional and risky, you can add them if you want, but you'll be risking lower FPS, and buggier gameplay, so do it at your own risk!

• Re-enabled block outlines
• Fixed few bugs
• 50% more FPS thanks to modernFix!
