MAX FPS: Optimized
🚀 MAX FPS WITHOUT UNNECESSARY MODS! Only 16 optimization mods - NOTHING EXTRA! ✅ ALL MAJOR VERSIONS ⚡ INSTALLS ON ANY LAUNCHER! (Guide below)
Quick answer
Which MAX FPS: Optimized release matches 1.20.4?
MAX FPS: Optimized in FABRIC 1.20.4 V5.0 is a complete pack release for 1.20.4 with Fabric 0.16.14. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 14 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up MAX FPS: Optimized for players and a server?
Use MAX FPS: Optimized in FABRIC 1.20.4 V5.0 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.
A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.
These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.
What are the server requirements for MAX FPS: Optimized?
MAX FPS: Optimized in FABRIC 1.20.4 V5.0 on 1.20.4. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.
The selected pack release is MAX FPS: Optimized in FABRIC 1.20.4 V5.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.4 with Fabric 0.16.14. It contains 14 mod projects. 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.

❓ FAQ
Fabric or Quilt?
They are very similar, but since all mods are developed for Fabric first, Fabric gives the smoothest experience with the fewest compatibility issues.
Quilt support has been discontinued due to low usage and minimal benefits. I strongly recommend Fabric.
Will the Vulcan mod be added to the modpack?
No. In my testing, Vulkan-based alternatives perform much worse than Sodium and also come with important limitations.
They also do not support shaders the way most players expect, which makes them much less useful in practice.
Will the Nvidium mod be added to the modpack?
No. Nvidium only works on a limited range of NVIDIA GPUs and newer architectures, which makes it unnecessary for most users.
It is also only available for Fabric 1.19.4+, and the types of setups where it would actually matter are very specific.
For most players, it is not a meaningful addition. If you want a better visual upgrade instead, I recommend trying Distant Horizons separately.
Will you continue developing the modpack on CurseForge or elsewhere?
Most likely not. Main development is focused elsewhere, and CurseForge is not the primary platform for this project.
However, starting from version 3.0, the modpack is easy to use on many different launchers.
Will there be mods that everyone needs (like Iris), even if they do not affect optimization?
No, and there are no plans to add them.
The main idea of this modpack is to include only mods that directly improve performance.
If you want extra features, you can always add them yourself on top of the base pack.
