### ⚠️ Important Note
**This pack (Ultra) focuses strictly on an authentic vanilla experience.**
Please note that **compatibility with other mods and multiplayer server performance may be significantly reduced.**
The Ultra edition uses version numbers like 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, not the standard format (e.g., 26.3.0). Additionally, it only follows a single game version; older Ultra versions will not be maintained.
