Pack setup

How should I set up Retro Dead Modpack for players and a server?

Client instance Install Retro Dead Modpack 1.0.0

Dedicated server setup Match Retro Dead Modpack 1.0.0

Pack loader Fabric 0.18.2

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.

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 Retro Dead Modpack?

Retro Dead Modpack 1.0.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

4 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Retro Dead Modpack 1.0.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.4 with Fabric 0.18.2. It contains 4 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.
