Quick answer

Which Forge Optimized release should I use?

Updated 11 months ago
Latest stable file Forge Optimized 1.16.5 v2
Game version 1.16.5
Loader Forge 36.2.42

Forge Optimized 1.16.5 v2 is a complete pack release for 1.16.5 with Forge 36.2.42. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 12 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Forge Optimized for players and a server?

Use Forge Optimized 1.16.5 v2 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 Optimized 1.16.5 v2
Dedicated server setup Match Forge Optimized 1.16.5 v2
Pack loader Forge 36.2.42

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 12
Client only 5
Server only 0
Not labelled 7

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 Forge Optimized?

Forge Optimized 1.16.5 v2. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

12 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Forge Optimized 1.16.5 v2. That file is for Minecraft 1.16.5 with Forge 36.2.42. It contains 12 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 Forge Optimized?

Pretty much every performance modpack is for fabric
But some pople still use Forge and high FPS can be obtained on Forge too

This is a very barebones modpack with no bloat. If you want to add some exta mods you can. Some optional mods that I reccomend are Oculus and JEI

I highly advise against using Forge on versions after 1.20 as mods are dropping support for it left and right. If you really want to use it though, install Bedium

Fullbright SP is included and enabled*
