Quick answer

Which NerdPack Essentials release should I use?

Updated 2 years ago
Latest stable file NerdPack Essentials 1.2
Game version 1.20.1
Loader Fabric 0.14.22

NerdPack Essentials 1.2 is a complete pack release for 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.14.22. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 64 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up NerdPack Essentials for players and a server?

Use NerdPack Essentials 1.2 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 NerdPack Essentials 1.2
Dedicated server setup Match NerdPack Essentials 1.2
Pack loader Fabric 0.14.22

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 64
Client only 46
Server only 1
Not labelled 17

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 NerdPack Essentials?

NerdPack Essentials 1.2. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

64 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is NerdPack Essentials 1.2. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.14.22. It contains 64 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.

About this project

What kind of pack is NerdPack Essentials?

A compilation of optimizations and QoL mods to make Minecraft just that much better!

Updated for 1.20.1!

Updated back to fabric, better for compatibility and mod use.

This is the minimalistic version of NerdPack, which you can find here.

This modpack adds very few large, game-changing features, but is a great place to start if you are interested in making Minecraft feel a lot more optimized.

This modpack may be updated to the latest version as necessary.

FULLY VANILLA SERVER COMPATIBLE!
