Quick answer

Which So Retro release should I use?

Updated 2 years ago
Latest stable file So Retro 1.0.4
Game version 1.20.4
Loader Fabric 0.15.6

So Retro 1.0.4 is a complete pack release for 1.20.4 with Fabric 0.15.6. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 27 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up So Retro for players and a server?

Use So Retro 1.0.4 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 So Retro 1.0.4
Dedicated server setup Match So Retro 1.0.4
Pack loader Fabric 0.15.6

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 27
Client only 13
Server only 1
Not labelled 13

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 So Retro?

So Retro 1.0.4. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

27 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is So Retro 1.0.4. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.4 with Fabric 0.15.6. It contains 27 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 So Retro?

  • Are you stuck in previous versions because you yearn for the old days?
  • Do you prefer the old, pre-1.13 textures?
  • Do you miss certain features, like the old combat system?

creeper and spider

If any or all of the above apply to you, his Modpack might be for you!
Coming with various remodels, retextures and complete overhauls of certain mobs and blocks to fit more with the old, rough looking but somewhat charming aestethic!

So Retro comes with various performance-enhancing mods as well as built-in controller support and on-the-fly skin swapping! No longer will you have to close the game to change your skin, like on legacy console edition.

For the legacy console players, the pack comes with a shader that makes your game resemble the beloved console edition even more. Though, be warned, it might impact performance.

-Known issues: Sculk Sensor Remodel culls the sides of the block it's next to, will fix by remodeling it yet again in an upcoming patch
