Hey...I am new to minecraft java and i want some good horror mods to play ...and someone to play it with cuz my friends dont have a pc ....but telling you now I am 19 and a guy but i have a squeaky voice that makes me sound like i am 12... but yes i am 19 years old

I'm not sure if this is the right sub to ask for help on optimising my mod packs but oh well.

I running a server about 6ish people but I know that probably not everyone will have a good PC like I do so is there anything I should take out or anything I should add so it runs smoother without lagging?

(looking to also make videos so I don't want the server to lag which causes the recordings in OBS to also stutter)

for extra details on what I'm envisioning: I'm running a small server with friends using the essential mod but I know that it uses your device to host it meaning if too many people are sending data at the same time because too many mod packs are running then it will put strain on your devices RAM and I don't want my videos to stutter so is there any mods I should remove or add to make it more smooth? The mods that are locked in and I won't remove are the Roundabout mod, Jade, Apotheosis, Moog's Structures (all 3 and the library), Enhanced AI, and Simple Voice Chat.

But I do want the server to last a long time by having things to do so that's why I add the cataclysm mod but I do know it does have alot of content so maybe I should change that for another boss fighting mod (if you have any recommendation on a more light weight but still good boss mod then leave it down in the comments).

I do know that William Wyther's Overhauled Overworld and Subterranean Wilderness Revival does take alot of data to process both at the same time so maybe I should take out Subterranean Wilderness Revival to make the strain lighter?

Thanks for your time and if you have advice on what to change then that would be appreciated.

So im making a minecraft server with 25 mods bosses magic armor you get the jist of it

But I have approximately 400 players to get into a custom made map without playing on 4 ticks and constant crashes

So I come here looking for answers most people say its impossible some say I need a devteam of dozens while others say its feasible with open source stuff yet 90% of the responses I see are give up or change the software to folia or multi paper yet those don't help me with the modded aspect of it at all i even wasted 270 dollars on model engine and mythic mobs just for it to be capped at version 1.21.11 all its packs being paid and some more expensive then the plugin and in the end it dosent work on folia or multi paper so i come hear to ask you what do I do.

Give me answers closure anything at this point

I'm was even thinking of porting all those forge mods to mythic mobs

I'm currently using neoforge 1.21.1

And if the answer is genuinely "you're fucked, don't try this", that's fine too 💀. I'd rather know now than waste another hundred dollars.

If you need the full mod list, I'll put it in the replies.

Me: almost finished project cuboid, played a lot modpacks, dont get to the middle often. For instance, sky factory 5, atm, atmons. Don't like pure rpg.

Friend: likes factorio, first time plays with mods. Likes exploration and mining.

We started all the mons, but i think its a bit overwhelming. I know that many recommend Ftb University / Academia, but is this still relevant?

Are stoneblock 4 / craftorio good choices for this?

And no g***tech, sorry, we don't have a lot of time.
