Quick answer

Which Shader Essentials release should I use?

Updated 2 years ago
Latest stable file Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.zip
Game version 1.20.1
Loader Forge 47.3.0

Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.zip is a complete pack release for 1.20.1 with Forge 47.3.0. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 9 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Shader Essentials for players and a server?

Use Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.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.

Client instance Install Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.zip
Dedicated server setup Match Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.zip
Pack loader Forge 47.3.0

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.

Referenced mods 9
Client only 3
Server only 0
Not labelled 6

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 Shader Essentials ?

Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

9 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Shader Essentials 1.20-1.0.0.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.3.0. It contains 9 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.
