Pack setup

How should I set up Absolute Horror for players and a server?

Use Absolute Horror (HC Inspired)-5.4.zip 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 Absolute Horror (HC Inspired)-5.4.zip
Dedicated server setup Match Absolute Horror (HC Inspired)-5.4.zip
Pack loader Forge 47.3.12

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 295
Client only 13
Server only 0
Not labelled 282

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 Absolute Horror?

Absolute Horror (HC Inspired)-5.4.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

295 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Absolute Horror (HC Inspired)-5.4.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.3.12. It contains 295 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 Absolute Horror?

Absolute Horror is a modpack inspired by the classic HorrorCraft, now ported to Minecraft 1.20 with enhanced mods and optimized performance for a modern gameplay experience. The modpack replaces SRParasites with "Prion Infection," introducing a truly immersive and realistic spreading threat that evolves within the world, creating an ever-present sense of dread without feeling unfair or overpowered.

In Absolute Horror, the focus is on delivering a terrifying survival experience. The addition of shaders and performance mods like "Embeddium" brings a sleek, contemporary look to the game while maintaining smooth performance. The modpack also emphasizes world generation, with mods like Terralith and Lost Cities transforming the landscape above and below ground, heightening the sense of isolation and danger.

The core challenge lies in surviving the relentless Prion Infection, which spreads through the environment and evolves, constantly keeping players on edge. Alongside this, various technology mods provide the tools necessary for survival in a world that is as beautiful as it is deadly.

This mod is intended to be played with Lost Cities always generated & on. If you have issues with Gregtech, this is also intended to keep you on the lower end of technology for a while to increase difficulty and survival feeling of the game. Shaders are also editted to increase darkness in-general.

Absolute Horror is still in development, and the modpack is subject to change as it continues to evolve. Prepare to face the ultimate survival horror experience in a world that constantly challenges your ability to endure!
------------
I plan to go more in-depth with configs specifically on Prion Infection however currently there is a no config touches to Prion nor Gregtech as the default should be good, however of course I'm taking suggestions, complaints, & feedback.
