Pack setup

How should I set up Ultimate PBR Essentials for players and a server?

Client instance Install Ultimate PBR Essentials 2.0.0
Dedicated server setup Match Ultimate PBR Essentials 2.0.0
Pack loader Fabric 0.17.2

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 53

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 Ultimate PBR Essentials?

Ultimate PBR Essentials 2.0.0 on 1.21.6 Fabric. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

53 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Ultimate PBR Essentials 2.0.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.6 with Fabric 0.17.2. It contains 53 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 Ultimate PBR Essentials?

Ultimate PBR Essentials

Ultimate PBR Essentials is the modpack for players who want to experience Minecraft with unparalleled visual enhancements while retaining the classic functionality they love. This modpack adds support for POM & PBR texturepack which previously used Optifine's features.

Who Is It For?

If you're looking to play with nearly any newer texture pack, whether it be realistic, vanilla, or one with minor tweaks, most require specific features and mods to provide these features. This modpack allows you to play with them effortlessly and also includes performance enhancements.

Isn't this just another Fabulously Optimized?

While the majority of mods are indeed common, however it does not mainly include visually game-altering mods, which are required/best suited for some PBR texture packs.

Classic OptiFine Features

  • Connected Textures:

  • Seamless glass, bookshelves, and other blocks using Continuity.

  • Dynamic Lighting:

  • Carry torches that illuminate surroundings using Sodium Dynamic Lights

  • Colormap Support

  • Using Polytone for legacy Optifine colormap, however compatibility with some older resource packs may not work.

  • Custom Splash Screen

  • Using Puzzle

  • Support for Entities

  • Using EMF and ETF

  • Performance Enhancements:

  • Optimize FPS without sacrificing quality, better fps in memory-hungry biomes

  • Other Minor Enhancements

  • This modpack has libraries that are required by some of the mods mentioned above, and other mods. Some mods may have been added later and may not be mentioned in the list above however they will be suited for the modpack.

Please note that this Modpack is not perfect, and was originally created to make the installation of mods for Optimum Realism texturepack easier and more uniform, however it should cover the mods required for almost all other texture packs that previously used Optifine's feature and are currently in the loop with newer mods. If you have suggestions, please refer to the discord server. This modpack also includes additional files that are not on Modrinth, these files cannot be redistributed or modified.
