Pack setup
How should I set up Darkness Rising for players and a server?

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.
What are the server requirements for Darkness Rising?
Darkness Rising-1.0.0.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Darkness Rising-1.0.0.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge. This NeoForge setup needs Java 21. We could not safely count the mods in this release. 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.
