Pack setup
How should I set up Performance Enhancer Next - PEN for players and a server?
Use PEN 1.0 - 1.14.4 Forge 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 PEN 1.0 - 1.14.4 Forge
Dedicated server setup Match PEN 1.0 - 1.14.4 Forge
Pack loader Forge 28.2.26
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 4
Client only 2
Server only 1
Not labelled 1
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 Performance Enhancer Next - PEN?
PEN 1.0 - 1.14.4 Forge. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is PEN 1.0 - 1.14.4 Forge. That file is for Minecraft 1.14.4 with Forge 28.2.26. It contains 4 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.

Description
Tries to be the most advanced modpack in terms of performance, always looking for new additions worthy to be done, while covering the most versions as possible. Going trough Fabric, Forge, Neoforge and Quilt and from the 1.14.4 onwards.
Differs with the PEN+ version (with the +) because this has no utilities and improvements, has only has the performance thing. So if you are looking for not only the best performance but the best addition, you better download PEN+.
Important
Old versions WON'T RUN UNLESS you open them with Java 17
Versions prior to 1.17 (exluding Forge versions 1.14.4 • 1.15.2), must use Java 17, otherwise the game won't start.
How to cahnge the Java version in the Modrinth Launcher:
Select the Instance you want to run >>> Go to 'options' >>> Under the Java section, check 'override global Java instances' >>> Click on 'auto detect' and choose a Java installation that is in the 17.0 or newer.
If you don't see any:
Go to the general settings of the launcher (the gear) >>> Under the Java settings section, click 'Install recomended' next to 'Java 17 location' >>> Then do the previous steps.
To enable Simple Voice Chat and AutoModpack mods
You will have to port forward the following ports on the server:
Simple Voice Chat >>> Port: 24454. Protocol: UDP.
AutoModpack >>> Port: 30037. Protocol: TCP.
If you don't now how search for a tutorial. Yes, I know I'm not being helpfull over there but the thing is it varies on the server page. Join my Discord so someone may help you, Discord invite link.
