Quick answer

Which Simply Optimized Continued release should I use?

Updated 4 days ago
Latest stable file 2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip
Game version 26.2
Loader NeoForge 26.2.0.59

2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip is a complete pack release for 26.2 with NeoForge 26.2.0.59. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 16 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Simply Optimized Continued for players and a server?

Use 2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip 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 2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip
Dedicated server setup Match 2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip
Pack loader NeoForge 26.2.0.59

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 16
Client only 5
Server only 0
Not labelled 11

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 Continued?

2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

16 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is 2.1-beta.2+26.2.zip. That file is for Minecraft 26.2 with NeoForge 26.2.0.59. It contains 16 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.

Original SO Description:

The Simply Optimized modpack aims to provide a base of the best optimization mods available, configured for the maximum performance achievable. Thanks to countless hours of research, it often outperforms other optimization solutions in benchmarks, and when it doesn't, I investigate why to improve it further.

SO is explicitly built with simplicity and high maintainability in mind; the goal is to make for a reflection of the bleeding edge of Minecraft optimization at the time, and that's what the focus is on. That means little to no quality-of-life or visual enhancements are included in the pack by default - you are expected to add any non-optimization mods you want on your own.

This also means it's able to recieve mod updates with new performance improvements quickly, and update to new Minecraft versions in a matter of hours! I strive to keep the pack as relevant as it can be at any given moment.
