Quick answer

Which Neoforge Shaders Base release should I use?

Updated 28 days ago
Latest stable file Hotfix 1
Game version 1.21.1
Loader NeoForge 21.1.153

Hotfix 1 is a complete pack release for 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.153. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. For this loader, use Java 21. 7 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Neoforge Shaders Base for players and a server?

Use Hotfix 1 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 Hotfix 1
Dedicated server setup Match Hotfix 1
Pack loader NeoForge 21.1.153
Java version Java 21

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 7
Client only 2
Server only 0
Not labelled 5

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 Neoforge Shaders Base?

Hotfix 1 . Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

7 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Hotfix 1 . That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.153. This NeoForge setup needs Java 21. It contains 7 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.

About this project

What kind of pack is Neoforge Shaders Base?

A small modpack with just enough mods to get shaders up and running.

Adds Emedium and Rubidium (for performance enhancements), Euporia patches (so you can tweak shaders to your liking), NeOculus (to enable optifine shaders), and Complentary Shaders (the shader pack itself), Faithful 64/32x (HD textures, enable in resource packs), and Fresh animations (Gives mobs and playes more expressive animations), otherwise this modpack leaves the game vanilla.

You will need a Raytracing capable graphics card to use this pack.

You can merge this with other mod packs to add shader support.

How to merge (Curseforge app):

  1. Install modpack
  2. Click on 3 dots > Open folder
  3. Go to mods folder
  4. Select all and copy (Make sure to copy, not cut)
  5. Open folder on modpack you want to merge with
  6. Paste (and replace if it asks you)
  7. Refresh pack in curseforge
  8. Profit

Note: some mods (such as create) can cause performance issues when used with this pack. Push K to disable shaders.
