Quick answer
Which Ion release should I use?
Latest stable file (Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3
Game version 26.2
Loader Fabric 0.19.5
(Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3 is a complete pack release for 26.2 with Fabric 0.19.5. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 17 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Ion for players and a server?
Use (Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3 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 (Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3
Dedicated server setup Match (Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3
Pack loader Fabric 0.19.5
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 17
Client only 9
Server only 1
Not labelled 7
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 Ion?
(Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is (Shaders) Ion 26.2.0.3. That file is for Minecraft 26.2 with Fabric 0.19.5. It contains 17 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 Ion?
What is Ion?
Ion is a fabric modpack with 18 essential optimization mods for Minecraft. Simply put, this helps your game run smoother, quicker, and more reliably without changing any part of the normal vanilla experience.
Why would I need this?
Ion can extremely benefit those with lower-spec computers or those who want to run multiple things at once (such as Minecraft and editing software at once) without Minecraft becoming overly resource demanding.
Variations:
- Nvidia - Only works with Nvidia GPUs and does not have shader support (better performance than Shaders)
- Shaders - (Recommended) Works with Nvidia, Intel, AMD, and Apple Silicon GPUs and has shader support
Important to note:
- Ion is not allowed in speedrunning
- The mods in Ion were not created by me, so if you enjoy Ion, go show the creators of the individual mods some love, their mods are listed at the bottom
That is all! Enjoy Minecraft more optimized than ever before!
