What is Better MC Modpack?
Better MC, previously known as Better Minecraft, is a modpack released in 2020. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Minecraft Forge modpacks available, with over 4 million downloads and active players. It earned its popularity and player base by fixing game mechanics the original Vanilla Minecraft got wrong and hasn't bothered fixing. It's safe to say this modpack is what Minecraft should be like.

Better MC is packed with new updates, biomes, mobs, structures, mods, and quests while preserving that sweet, unique Vanilla experience. It also fixes some of the issues that came with the Caves & Cliffs update.
New biomes
Some of the new biomes Better MC brings are forests covered in frost, mangrove swamps, and new underground biomes to explore, such as catacombs and molten caverns. It also has a new dimension under bedrock with epic mobs and adventures, but we won't spoil the fun in this guide. All in all, you have more than 80 brand-new biomes with the latest version of the Better MC modpack.

While exploring some of the brand-new biomes, you are bound to run into mobs you have never seen before. Such as frostmaw in frozen mountainous areas.

How much RAM do I need for Better MC Modpack?
We've tested Better MC in 3 servers with RAMs ranging from 4 to 16GB. Better MC installed on a 4GB RAM was incredibly laggy, but 8GB was just fine, giving us around 70 FPS.
If you're planning on playing Better MC alone or with a few friends of yours, 8GB should be enough. If you're making a public server or four or more friends will be joining you, make sure to have at least 12 or 16GB of RAM.
