Recommendations

System Requirements:

Minimum allocated RAM: 1-2 GB
Recommended allocated RAM: 2-6 GB normally, or 6-8GB for those with Shaders, high render distance, increased video settings, HD resource packs.

If you don't know how to allocate more RAM to Minecraft, here is a good tutorial.

Mod List

You can find the modlist here. It includes all the mods + links to the modrinth pages, the authors, the license, mod description, Mod download count and the project ID on modrinth. It isn't here because it's too long.

This list is updated with a script I created that uses the output of the ferium list -v command and converts it into a nice markdown table. You can find the script here. Ferium is a CLI tool to help manage your mods

Additional Information

  • You can find server instructions here.
  • The mod list is available on GitHub.
  • If you have any problems, check the GitHub repository. If you can't find a solution there, message me on Discord: @orbitalexplorer or create an issue on the GitHub issues page.

Modrinth is open source.
