Pack setup

How should I set up Lightly Optimized for players and a server?

Use Lightly Optimized 1.6 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 Lightly Optimized 1.6
Dedicated server setup Match Lightly Optimized 1.6
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.

Referenced mods 35
Client only 0
Server only 0
Not labelled 35

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 Lightly Optimized?

Lightly Optimized 1.6. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

35 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Lightly Optimized 1.6. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.18.4. It contains 35 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 Lightly Optimized?

🪶LightlyOptimized • Modpack

This is a simple and lightweight modpack, allowing you to optimize and run Minecraft on old or low-end computers without lag! With the support of shaders and a supply of optimization, it satisfies RAM Usage and CPU, typically by lowering them, boosting the FPS substantially. This is highly-configurable, flexible, and seamless.

It is also satisfactory to use RTX shaders on high-end computers. The purpose of the modpack is to bring a spotlight on its appealing appearance, balancing its performance.

⚠️ Critical Information

If you want the leaves to look like other modpacks, disable Cull Leaves pack.
Cull Leaves make it look like OptiFine Smart Leaves.
This modpack also has MoreCulling so disabling cull leaves will enable this.
Both mods have same performance just different look.

❓Why this and not optifine

Optifine has got very outdated tweaks and it breaks with some modern mods. Also it doesnt improve frame rate much in modern computers.
