Game version 1.21.1
Loader Fabric 0.16.7

Pack setup

How should I set up The Solar Apocalypse for players and a server?

Use 15.0.0 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 15.0.0
Dedicated server setup Match 15.0.0
Pack loader Fabric 0.16.7

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 100
Client only 16
Server only 0
Not labelled 84

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 The Solar Apocalypse?

15.0.0 on 1.21.1 Fabric. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

100 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is 15.0.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with Fabric 0.16.7. It contains 100 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

Everything was in perfect balance — the flora thrived, the fauna followed their natural rhythm. Until one day, the SUN began to act strangely. Each sunrise seemed brighter, hotter… BIGGER. Why is the SUN changing? What should you do? Who will survive?

The Solar Apocalypse is a challenge-focused modpack designed to take you on a difficult and ever-evolving survival experience. Inspired by elements of Project Zomboid, it reimagines Minecraft with new threats, a harsher environment, and new behaviors that force you to adapt.

On day 5, the Sun ignites every surface block. By day 10, anything exposed begins to burn. From day 15 to 100, its heat consumes the world layer by layer—descending from height 100 until reaching layer 0. For versions below 27.0+beta, click here.
