Quick answer

Which Photon Optimization release matches 1.21.6 Quilt?

Updated 3 months ago
beta file Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1
Game version 1.21.6
Loader Quilt 0.29.0

Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1 is a complete pack release for 1.21.6 with Quilt 0.29.0. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 11 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Photon Optimization for players and a server?

Use Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1 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 Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1
Dedicated server setup Match Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1
Pack loader Quilt 0.29.0

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 11
Client only 5
Server only 1
Not labelled 5

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?

Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1 on 1.21.6 Quilt. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

11 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Quilt-1.21.6-0.1.1. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.6 with Quilt 0.29.0. It contains 11 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.
