Quick answer

Which Lightning Client release should I use?

Updated 5 months ago
Latest stable file Lightning Client for 1.21.11
Game version 1.21.11
Loader Fabric 0.18.4

Lightning Client for 1.21.11 is a complete pack release for 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.18.4. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 45 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Lightning Client for players and a server?

Use Lightning Client for 1.21.11 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 Lightning Client for 1.21.11
Dedicated server setup Match Lightning Client for 1.21.11
Pack loader Fabric 0.18.4

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 45
Client only 28
Server only 0
Not labelled 17

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 Lightning Client?

Lightning Client for 1.21.11. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

45 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Lightning Client for 1.21.11. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.18.4. It contains 45 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 Lightning Client?

A client? Not rlly, just a modpack but Client sounds kewler

Simplicity + QOL features

This modpack aims to provide ease of access to everyone hoping to improve fps but also have some QOL features. The modpack incorporates the best optimization mods available to achieve max performance. And since most players don't just use optimization mods, we added QOL mods. For example, there is a mod that display the time you have potions for, what durability your armor is on, and a screen shoting mod that make sharing screen shots easier. By including both QOL mods AND optimization mods, the Lightning Client is an all in one modpack that offers everything a player could need to enjoy Minecraft.

Adding your own mods

You can add your own mods and build on this modpack. But be sure to be careful of the compatibility issues. I won't be able to help with such issues.

Sodium vs. Vulkan

There are now 2 Modes for this Modpack- Sodium and Vulkan.
I would use the Sodium + Nvdium modpacks if you're on NVDIA GPUs

Both are good but Vulkan has compatibility issues with a lot of mods. I would suggest trying both of the modpacks out because you could get a lot more frames on Vulkan.
