Quick answer

Which The Vanilla Plus+ release should I use?

Updated 11 months ago
Latest stable file The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0
Game version 1.20.1
Loader Fabric 0.17.2

The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0 is a complete pack release for 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.17.2. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 23 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up The Vanilla Plus+ for players and a server?

Use The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0 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 The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0
Dedicated server setup Match The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0
Pack loader Fabric 0.17.2

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 23

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 The Vanilla Plus+?

The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

23 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is The Vanilla Plus+ 1.0.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.17.2. It contains 23 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.
