Yoru is a lightweight vanilla-plus modpack for Minecraft Java on Fabric, tuned for frame rate and everyday comfort. Releases cover 1.18.2 to 26.2, and it is meant for your own install only, not for hosting. rephlexzero uses the pack personally and maintains it, aiming for a setup that works out of the box with little configuration.
How to install Yoru
Yoru is distributed as a Modrinth pack. Open it in the Modrinth App, Prism Launcher or another launcher that reads .mrpack files, and it fetches the mods and the loader for you. If you are new to this, the modpack install guide walks through it, and the Fabric guide covers a manual loader setup.
The newest release, 9.0.0 from 2026-09-14, requires nothing extra. Older 1.18.2 and 1.19 releases list long dependency sets, so choose the latest one unless you need those.

Questions about Yoru.
4 questions
How do I install Yoru?
Open the pack from Modrinth in the Modrinth App, Prism Launcher or another launcher that imports .mrpack files. The launcher downloads every listed mod and the Fabric loader for you, so there is no manual mod copying. Choose the newest release unless you need an older Minecraft release.
Which Minecraft versions does Yoru support?
Fabric releases span 1.18.2 to 26.2, and the newest release, 9.0.0, arrived on 2026-09-14. Quilt releases covered 1.19.2 to 1.20.1 but stopped in 2023, so they are no longer maintained.
Can I use Yoru on a multiplayer server?
Yoru is listed as required on the player's own install and unsupported for hosting. You install it locally, and its mapping and building tools run on your side. Whether a particular host allows those tools is a question for that host.
Which shaders come with Yoru?
Yoru bundles Complementary v4, Complementary Reimagined and Shimple Shaders. Press K to toggle shaders, O to pick one and R to reload them.
