I see “Vanilla Minecraft” referred to a lot, but it seems to have different definitions here and there.

Is it just Minecraft without data packs, resource backs, etc? So, like, “out of the box”? Or is it really something else?

    As far as game mechanics, no mods that change gameplay in any meaningful way (including quality-of-life mods) is vanilla.

    In terms of tech support, an unmodified base install is vanilla. (This is important because if you are looking for help with a crash for example, knowing you have OptiFine or something is very relevant.)
