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 Photon Optimization?

Forge-1.18.2-1.1.7 on 1.18.2 Forge. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

9 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Forge-1.18.2-1.1.7. That file is for Minecraft 1.18.2 with Forge 40.3.12. It contains 9 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.
