Essentially Optimized (Server)
2x server-side chunk loading speeds with this optimization modpack. Optimize player, entity, and physics performance while significantly reducing RAM usage.
Quick answer
Which Essentially Optimized (Server) release should I use?
1.0.0 for 26.1.2 is a complete pack release for 26.1.2 with Fabric 0.19.2. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 17 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Essentially Optimized (Server) for players and a server?
Use 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 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.
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 Essentially Optimized (Server)?
1.0.0 for 26.1.2. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is 1.0.0 for 26.1.2. That file is for Minecraft 26.1.2 with Fabric 0.19.2. It contains 17 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.

Tested with Fabric 1.21.10 on a 6GB shared hosting server with Ryzen 9 5950x (4.5 vCores). Source
100% Optimization Focused
We built this modpack with extreme simplicity in mind since we have been looking for something like this ourselves. Unlike with most other packs, you will find:
- NO unnecessary quality-of-life mods.
- NO visual enhancements.
- NO content additions or random mods.

Key Features
🚀 2x Faster Chunk Loading: Seamless gameplay with multi-threaded chunk generation and a completely rewritten lighting engine. Whether you are teleporting or flying with an Elytra, the world loads faster than ever by utilizing all available CPU cores instead of relying on a single thread.
💾 Reduced RAM Usage: Using advanced memory management and data storage, this modpack lowers the RAM required to run the server. This prevents "Out of Memory" crashes and allows you to host a smooth experience even on budget hardware.
⚡ Optimized TPS & MSPT: By rewriting core game physics, entity tracking, and mob AI logic, this modpack makes sure your server processes ticks efficiently. Resulting a stable 20 TPS and low MSPT, allowing for complex redstone contraptions and higher player counts.
🌐 Smoother Networking: Optimized network stacks and packet compression reduce the bandwidth usage between the server and players. This minimizes rubber-banding and hit-registration issues, ensuring a responsive experience for everyone.
✅ Full Vanilla Compatibility: All optimizations are strictly internal code improvements that respect vanilla mechanics. Players can join with a standard vanilla client, no extra downloads required on their end.
Huge thank you to all the individual mod creators. Without you, this modpack would not exist. Please go show some love to them. But now, stop waiting and install the modpack!

FAQ
Q: Will this be made for older versions as well?
A: We currently have no plans to backport it to older versions. But if the demand is high, we might do it.
Q: What mods are in the pack?
A: You can see the full, up-to-date list by checking each version's dependencies or at the bottom of the page under Credit & Links
Q: Why doesn't it have (insert a mod not related to optimization)?
A: To keep the pack as light, fast, and stable as possible, we only include optimization mods.
Q: Do I need the modpack on the client?
A: No, the pack is fully server side and does not need to be installed on the client.
Q: How can I install the modpack?
A: Here's how to install the modpack on your server.
Q: Where can I get support, report a bug, or give feedback?
A: Join our Discord Server to report any bugs or get help.
Q: My server still feels choppy?
A: We can optimize your server but we can't magically give you more than actually available. So please make sure you have allocated enough RAM to your server. I recommend using at least 4GB for a smooth experience. Anything below that, the issues are easy to come.
