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.
