Quick answer
Which Simply Optimized Forked release matches 26.2?
Simply Optimized Forked 26.08.2-26.2 is a complete pack release for 26.2 with Fabric 0.19.3. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 29 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Simply Optimized Forked for players and a server?
Use Simply Optimized Forked 26.08.2-26.2 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 Simply Optimized Forked?
Simply Optimized Forked 26.08.2-26.2 on 26.2. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.
The selected pack release is Simply Optimized Forked 26.08.2-26.2. That file is for Minecraft 26.2 with Fabric 0.19.3. It contains 29 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 Simply Optimized Forked?

Information
Simply Optimized Forked is a continuation of the now discontinued Simply Optimized!
Additionally on top of providing what the pack used to, it now will also provide LTS support for certain Minecraft versions (currently 1.20.1 and 1.21.1) and come with minor fixes for re-occuring issues found on the original pack.
This pack is also utilized internally for modpacks like Re-Console, Simply Legacy and more.
Philosophy
Simply Optimized provided access to bleeding edge Minecraft performance, without any bloat via tuned configs and plenty of testing. Our fork will abide by the same principles as the original modpack.
SO Forked will also be available as an open source Packwiz project on Codeberg, GitHub, and ForgeJo.
What Simply Optimized Forked does
SO Forked improves upon Simply Optimized by fixing a few common user complaints, and providing additional support.
Our current differences include:
- LTS Support for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and 26.1.2, along with latest support
- User Options will not be overriden each modpack update
- Some specific performance mods have been added, which were not in the original SO due to a variety of reasons (i.e. ParticleCore being excluded due to it having multiple dependencies)
- GPU Accelerated World Generation in 26.1.2 and up
