I made this suggestion in Fabric's discord as well
*YES I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY MOD/(VERSION) WITH FORGE BUT WHAT I'M SUGGESTING IS NOT A THING YET...
Currently looking if future Forge Loader could have a primary mod folder directory and if none present fallback to the vanilla way...

I am aware and already using The:

  Quote

- Laucher → Profile → Game directory → {new path}
But doing so cause other following issues such as:
- Ressource pack
- (Optifine, and soon Sodium) Shader pack
- Server list
To all become split, and as such, if i want to use the same ressource/shader pack i must copy the entire pack and waste hard drive space. Or must copy my server list to the other directory to stay up to date with my server list that i change overtime

Expand  

To work around this issue and free up hard drive space the following behavior Forge Loader could use is:

  Quote

When initialling the loading of mods:
*folder name version example "1.16.1"
*Forge/Fabric personnal path "forge"
- mods → 1.16.1 → forge → (mods placed here)
If missing "forge" fallback to already in place behavior
- mods → 1.16.1 → (mods placed here)
If missing "version X" fallback to already in place behavior
- mods → (mods placed here)

Expand  

If both Forge and Fabric would implement this behavior then it would make both easily compatible without the need  to make a game directory for each version.
*Understandably this would probably take some time for you guys to do so because that would require to update each forge's version

Most recent version show the world's version in quit visible red font so unless you do not pay attention this isn't rly an issue.

Also just to be sure i was not missing something...

I do not know in which version it lost this ability but (atleast with 1.16.1) YOU CANNOT USE mods/1.16.1/*mods* anymore

So the quick F.A.Q on the "Read first" post is a bit outdated.

What i understand from your reply is it's just double edge sword, there will always be draw back if not used correctly. (RE)adding this feature has no draw back however. It's up to the user to still split every game version and waste ton of hard drive space.

Some version of minecraft has the same option.exe layout, so making let's say 1.14.4 & 1.15.2 into the same game directory wont be an issue for the game setting.

The ENTIRE point is that you use the game directory option in the launcher and split your configs/worlds/whatever.

It is kinda annoying that you also split your resource packs, as those typically arnt damaging if you apply the wrong version.

But it's a happy cost for the benefit of not screwing up your worlds.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

      Modded Minecaft crashes on initialization

      By MarrØw · Posted

      https://mclo.gs/e8nuqSA My friend and I are having the same issue with this pack. We're trying to play on BMC4 with a bunch of extra mods. The game loads up to 'mod gathering' and then crashes.

      How many peole in theory could my server support on minecraft.

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      Graphics are irrelevant for a server. According to google, it should support 20-40. I literally asked it "how many players on a lightly modded minecraft server will a ryzen 5 2600 with 32GB ram support?" Maybe someone with some real world experience has further input. I can say without a doubt that if you run Linux as opposed to windows for the server operating system, you will get better performance and have more resources available to your server.

      By mojack66 · Posted

      I know some one who wants to host a moderately large lightly modded(less than 80~ mods, vanilla + type stuff) minecraft server expecting about 50-60 players at max and 15-25 consistent players. The main game play will be more of a building and mod progression type of thing not a pvp smp. The specs on the pc i use as a standalone server are  -ryzen 5 2600 -32 gb 3600 ram -gtx1050 -Samsung 870 QVO SSD -internet is good enough 700mb up 200mb down Would it be able to support this if not what would you recommend. (I would use server optimization mods and preloading chunks.)
