They do not work together. Pick your mode and disable the other before opening the game. <div align="center"> | | 🎬 **Creator Mode** | 🌐 **Server Mode** | |:---:|:---:|:---:| | **Keep** | `Flashback` | `ViaFabricPlus` | | **Disable** | `ViaFabricPlus` | `Flashback` | | **Best for** | Replays • Freecam • Cinematics • Screenshots | Hypixel • 1.8 PvP • Old Servers • Version Switching | </div> If your game crashes on launch, this is almost always why. You can switch modes any time. --- ## So what actually is Aura? Alright, honest talk. Every optimization modpack says the same thing now. *"Maximum FPS. Zero bloat. Best performance. Lightweight."* Those words stopped meaning anything a while ago. Every serious Fabric pack already runs Sodium, Lithium, and FerriteCore. That is the engine now. That is the expected baseline. Having it is not a selling point. The real question is what the pack does after the engine. And that is where most packs split into two camps that are both kind of frustrating. **Camp 1: Fast but empty.** You install a barebones FPS pack, your frames go up, and then you spend an hour adding zoom, shulker previews, replay tools, chat fixes, server compatibility, and all the stuff you actually use. At that point you are building the client yourself anyway. **Camp 2: Feature-packed but messy.** You install a bigger pack and half the mods are untouched, some of them overlap, a few are outdated, and the whole thing feels like someone dropped 150 JARs into a folder and called it a day. Aura is neither of those. The way Aura gets built is different. The pack gets compared against the biggest optimization and client-style packs on Modrinth, one by one. What are they doing better? What is Aura missing? What looks useful but does not actually improve anything? What is silently causing conflicts? Then the stack gets rebuilt around what actually passes that test. If it runs on a 2012 MacBook Air, it will fly on your PC. But beyond raw frames, the goal is a setup that feels finished the second it opens. Fast, polished, and stacked with everything you would normally spend time hunting down yourself. **Every pack has the engine now. The difference is the whole client.** --- ## 📊 Benchmarks (estimated) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/62ddaff3834b7a83955c467bf794cdd8b19fbe70.png) --- ## What Aura is built around | Area | What that means | |:--|:--| | **Raw FPS** | Better rendering, lower memory use, fewer wasted frames, smoother frame pacing | | **Loading** | Faster startup, faster reloads, less waiting around | | **Visuals** | Shaders, connected textures, better lighting, better entities, cleaner UI | | **Client feel** | Zoom, better menus, better controls, better chat, useful HUD and inventory tools | | **Creator tools** | Replays, Freecam, high resolution screenshots, voice chat, building tools | | **Multiplayer** | Version switching, chat privacy, packet fixes, faster pings, server QoL | --- ## How Aura fits | You want... | Better fit... | |:--|:--| | Absolute minimum Sodium setup, nothing extra | Simply Optimized, Adrenaline | | OptiFine replacement with shaders | Fabulously Optimized, Additive | | A locked managed client | Lunar, Feather, Badlion | | **A fast, open, client-style setup that already feels complete** | **Aura** | Unlike locked clients, you can remove things, add things, and make it yours. Aura is the Fabric setup that tries to feel like a client without locking you into one. --- ## What's Inside <details> <summary><strong>⚡ Performance Core</strong></summ
