Updated 5 months ago
Best match for your filters Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas
Game version 1.12.2
Loader Forge 14.23.5.2864

Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas is a complete pack release for 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2864. 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 Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas 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 Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas
Dedicated server setup Match Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas
Pack loader Forge 14.23.5.2864

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 4
Server only 2
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?

Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas on 1.12.2. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

11 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Forge-1.12.2-1.2.3-j25-celeritas. That file is for Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2864. 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.
