Quick answer

Which Visuals Expanded release should I use?

Updated 1 year ago
Latest stable file Visuals Expanded 2.1
Game version 1.21.4
Loader Fabric 0.16.14

Visuals Expanded 2.1 is a complete pack release for 1.21.4 with Fabric 0.16.14. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 81 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Visuals Expanded for players and a server?

Use Visuals Expanded 2.1 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 Visuals Expanded 2.1
Dedicated server setup Match Visuals Expanded 2.1
Pack loader Fabric 0.16.14

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 81
Client only 55
Server only 0
Not labelled 26

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 Visuals Expanded?

Visuals Expanded 2.1. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

81 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Visuals Expanded 2.1. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.4 with Fabric 0.16.14. It contains 81 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 Visuals Expanded?

The in game Visuals Expanded logo
Visuals Expanded is a fork of the amazing Fabulously Optimized modpack featuring many visual improvements and additions, whilst trying to not stray too far from the vanilla feel. Everything featured in it is client-sided, meanin you should be able to join any vanilla server without any problems.

I recommend you create and add your own Vanilla Tweaks resource pack for the truest Vanilla Expanded experience and to add visual changes that you specifically want.
