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 GuardianOptimized?

GuardianOptimized 21.11.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

47 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is GuardianOptimized 21.11.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.11 with NeoForge 21.11.42. This NeoForge setup needs Java 21. It contains 47 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 GuardianOptimized?

Introduction

GuardianOptimized is a high-version optimized modpack implemented on the Neoforge platform. This modpack enhances vanilla rendering and other aspects to significantly improve frame rates while preserving core gameplay mechanics. Users can freely integrate additional mods into the pack to extend optimization benefits to third-party content.

Features

Rendering Overhaul: Utilizes Neoforge-adapted mods like Sodium-Neo to refine the vanilla video settings interface and rendering pipeline, with Iris shader support for seamless lighting/shader integration.
Functional Alternatives: Implements MaFgLib-powered solutions such as the Tweakerge mod and the Forgematica mod to bridge compatibility gaps between Fabric and Neoforge ecosystems.
