Pack setup

How should I set up Distantly Optimized for players and a server?

Use Distantly Optimized v7.1 for 26.1.2 NeoForge.zip as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Could not safely read this pack file

The selected pack release is Distantly Optimized v7.1 for 26.1.2 NeoForge.zip. That file is for Minecraft 26.1.2 with NeoForge. We could not safely count the mods in this release. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is Distantly Optimized?

Updated to 26.1.2!

Distantly Optimized is a modpack featuring Distant Horizions 3.0 and Iris, letting you see really, really far, as well as a few shaderpacks that support Distant Horizons, incredible worldgen powered by Tectonic, and some utility mods.

It is designed to be lightweight, work on any server, and update faster than anyone else.

Best part is, it works right out of the box! The only settings you need to worry about are in the main menu of Distant Horizon's settings, accessed by the button to the right of the FOV slider, in the options menu.

What about framerate?

With the settings and specs listed below, I had a stable 70 FPS.

You actually don't need a powerful PC to run this, plus you can turn down Distant Horizons quality and render distance settings, as well as shaders.
