Pack setup

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

Use Steam Deck Essentials 1.21.7-a 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 Steam Deck Essentials 1.21.7-a
Dedicated server setup Match Steam Deck Essentials 1.21.7-a
Pack loader Fabric 0.16.14

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 7
Client only 0
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 Steam Deck Essentials?

Steam Deck Essentials 1.21.7-a. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

7 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Steam Deck Essentials 1.21.7-a. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.7 with Fabric 0.16.14. It contains 7 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.
