Not too long ago, a member from my old SMP reached out to me asking for help setting up a small, personal server. Turns out, they also needed help with a modpack that was light enough for most of the group to play (meaning it had to be able to run on default RAM allocation (4gb). Well, finding a modpack that was satisfactory and lightweight was REALLY tricky, so I threw one together myself!
Although I recommend allocating 6gb of ram, it does run fine on CurseForge's default allocation if you don't plan on using resource packs or shaders. But if you do want to make your game just that bit more pretty, 6gb allocation is the minimal, however 8gb is recommended.
This pack was focused on combat, monsters, and magic (with a sprinkle of extra world gen for interest!)
The server this was ran on also had Moog's structure mods as well as Yung's, though it's not included here to keep performance as high as possible since both of those groups of mods run purely server side. Just figured I would mention it, as I do recommend adding them to your server, or singleplayer world just for a bit of spice.
Thank you for reading my cook-book style description and checking out this small pack! :)
