Pack setup

How should I set up Helios Optimize for players and a server?

Use 0.02 for 1.20.1 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 0.02 for 1.20.1
Dedicated server setup Match 0.02 for 1.20.1
Pack loader Forge 47.4.5

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 8
Client only 2
Server only 0
Not labelled 6

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 Helios Optimize?

0.02 for 1.20.1 on Forge. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

8 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is 0.02 for 1.20.1. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.5. It contains 8 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.

🔸 Why Helios Is Better Than Traditional Performance Packs

Most performance modpacks rely on outdated renderer replacements that break mobile compatibility, cause crashes, reduce mod support, and introduce unnecessary compromises. Helios avoids all of that. By using modern, actively maintained optimizers, it delivers: higher FPS, smoother frame pacing, lower RAM usage, full cross-device compatibility. Even low-end phones feel the improvement immediately.
