Quick answer

Which Smooth Optimized release should I use?

Smooth Optimized 21.11.0_v2.0 is a complete pack release for 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.18.4. 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 Smooth Optimized for players and a server?

Use Smooth Optimized 21.11.0_v2.0 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 Smooth Optimized 21.11.0_v2.0
Dedicated server setup Match Smooth Optimized 21.11.0_v2.0
Pack loader Fabric 0.18.4

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 17
Client only 6
Server only 1
Not labelled 10

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 Smooth Optimized?

Smooth Optimized 21.11.0_v2.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

17 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Smooth Optimized 21.11.0_v2.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.18.4. 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.
