Quick answer

Which Academy 101 release should I use?

Updated 3 days ago
Latest stable file Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2
Game version 26.1.2
Loader NeoForge 26.1.2.109

Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2 is a complete pack release for 26.1.2 with NeoForge 26.1.2.109. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 30 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Academy 101 for players and a server?

Use Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2 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.

Client instance Install Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2
Dedicated server setup Match Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2
Pack loader NeoForge 26.1.2.109

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.

Plan the server requirements Read the Minecraft installation guide
Referenced mods 30
Client only 7
Server only 0
Not labelled 23

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 Academy 101?

Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

30 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Minecraft Academy 101 - v1.2.2. That file is for Minecraft 26.1.2 with NeoForge 26.1.2.109. It contains 30 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.
