Pack setup

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

Use Simply Better 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 Simply Better
Dedicated server setup Match Simply Better
Pack loader Forge 14.23.5.2847

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 21
Client only 1
Server only 0
Not labelled 20

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 Better?

Simply Better. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

21 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Simply Better. That file is for Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2847. It contains 21 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 Better?

Have you ever wanted to play a modpack that simply improves the Minecraft experience without adding a bunch of crazy features? This modpack is focused on improving Minecraft, yet staying true to the game. All the mods included in this pack add or improve features without completely altering the gameplay.

This modpack will enhance forests, the nether, caves, biomes, and much more. So if you are looking for a modpack that makes Minecraft a better game, but still feels like Minecraft, here it is!

For this pack, I recommend installing Optifine so you can use shaders. Next, the shader I recommend particularly is Sildurs enhanced default. This shader will give you things like shadows, better water, waving plants, etc, yet keep the vanilla lighting!
