Quick answer

Which Vanilla Archon release should I use?

Updated 1 year ago
Latest stable file Vanilla Archon
Game version 1.20.1
Loader Fabric 0.16.9

Vanilla Archon is a complete pack release for 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.16.9. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 50 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Vanilla Archon for players and a server?

Use Vanilla Archon 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 Vanilla Archon
Dedicated server setup Match Vanilla Archon
Pack loader Fabric 0.16.9

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.

Plan the server requirements Read the Minecraft installation guide
Referenced mods 50
Client only 18
Server only 1
Not labelled 31

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 Vanilla Archon?

Vanilla Archon. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

50 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Vanilla Archon. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric 0.16.9. It contains 50 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.
