Exchange Standard
The official client pack for The Exchange.
This is not a content pack. There are no new blocks, no new mobs, no new recipes, and nothing here changes how the game plays. Every mod in this list exists for one of three reasons: to make the game run better, to make it sound and look like a place worth spending time in, or to remove a small daily annoyance you stopped noticing years ago.
Install it, join the server, and everything works the way it always did. It just runs faster and feels considerably better.
The server
The Exchange is a geopolitical roleplay server built on a player-run economy. Found a town, build a nation, run a business, trade on the stock market. No admin shops, no pay-to-win. Every coin in circulation came from another player.

You do not need this pack to play. It just makes the experience considerably better, and Simple Voice Chat in particular is how most trade and diplomacy actually happens.

Notes
- Fabric, Minecraft
1.21.11. - Shaders are bundled but off by default. Enable Super Duper Vanilla in the shader menu when you want it, leave it off if your machine would rather not.
- Everything here is client side. Nothing gives you an advantage over anyone playing vanilla, and none of it is required to connect.
- Credit to every mod author listed above. This pack is an assembly, not a creation, and none of it exists without their work.
