Pack setup

How should I set up Bare Optimized (FORGE) for players and a server?

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 Bare Optimized (FORGE)?

Bare Optimized (FORGE)-1.0.1.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

14 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Bare Optimized (FORGE)-1.0.1.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.10. 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.
