Quick answer

Which Hardly optimised release should I use?

Updated last month
alpha file Hardly optimised 0.1.5
Game version 26.2
Loader Fabric 0.19.3

Hardly optimised 0.1.5 is a complete pack release for 26.2 with Fabric 0.19.3. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 22 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Hardly optimised for players and a server?

Use Hardly optimised 0.1.5 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 Hardly optimised 0.1.5
Dedicated server setup Match Hardly optimised 0.1.5
Pack loader Fabric 0.19.3

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.

Plan the server requirements Read the Minecraft installation guide
Referenced mods 22
Client only 13
Server only 0
Not labelled 9

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 Hardly optimised?

Hardly optimised 0.1.5. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

22 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Hardly optimised 0.1.5. That file is for Minecraft 26.2 with Fabric 0.19.3. It contains 22 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 Hardly optimised?

Hardly Optimised

best optimisation modpack to exist.

⚠️ Critical Warning: Minecraft 1.21.7 Unsupported ⚠️

All versions between 1.21.6 and 1.21.7 suffer from severe problems on Intel GPUs (Mojang-confirmed bug). This is NOT Hardly Optimised's problem, this is a problem in minecraft that i cannot fix.

This is not optional if you use Intel UHD or any low-end system, continuing use of these versions may corrupt worlds or constantly crash.

About

Hardly Optimised is a modpack made for 1.16.5-1.20.1-1.20.4-1.21.x-26.1.2-26.2 that is made with one goal in mind: to be very stable and performant. See, unlike other optimisation modpacks this one isn't bloated with 200 mods you're probably never using in your life or using 2 of the mods there at best, or made poorly where it does get a lot of fps but crashes every 5 minutes. Hardly Optimised focuses strictly on stability and making FPS make you feel like you have a RTX 5090.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this on multiplayer servers?

A: Yes! Everything in this pack is client-side. So you can join any vanilla, Realm, or modded server.

Q: Does this replace OptiFine?

A: Yes. This pack gives significantly higher FPS than OptiFine and has almost every OptiFine feature.

Q: Can I add my own QoL / gameplay mods?

A: Absolutely! Hardly Optimised is an optimisation modpack and was purposly made to be as comatible with mods as possible, so you can add whatever mods you like on top.

Q: Is this mod compatible with lunar client?

A: Yes, it should. There is no mod in this modpack that breaks lunar client in some way for it to not be compatible.

Recommended Settings

  • RAM Allocation: Allocate 2GB to 4GB of RAM. For example, if you have 8GB of total RAM, allocating half (4GB) works great. However, if you are rich and have 16GB of RAM or more, do NOT allocate half (8GB+), allocating too much RAM will actually cause lag spikes due to Java Garbage Collection! Stick to 4GB max.

  • Graphics Settings: You should usually leave these as they are. The pack is already tweaked to give you max FPS right after installing it.
