I am trying to start a modded server for me and my friend. What game ver and mod loader?

I am trying to host a modded server for me and my friend to play on, and I want to be able to run shaders. I played a single player world on 1.21.1 just fine, but Fabric doesn't have the variety in mods I'm looking for. I tried to go to forge, and I am having issues with shaders not working properly. What game version and mod loader should I use?

if you use neoforge you should just be able to use latest DH and latest iris. forge on 1.21.1 got dropped by pretty much everyone though, so youll indeed find a lot of problems if you decide to use that

What game version of neoforge should I use?

this was talking about 1.21.1 if you want to use 1.20.1, youll have to use forge

you should probably look into what mods you actually want to play with

do more of them support 1.20.1 or 1.21.1? do more of them support fabric or neoforge/forge?

I mianly want terrain gen + biomes o plenty, create, gun mods, and harder mobs. Thanks for the info, though I'm gonna try neoforge

then you should probably use 1.20.1, as create doesnt support any higher in which case you shouldnt use neoforge

I can go without it honestly

have you looked into the specific gun mod you want to use?
Outdoor Air Conditioner
Point Blank which seems to have lots of support across a lot of the mod loaders/versions

yea, then i dont see why you couldnt just use fabric 1.20.1

but honestly I was gonna look at the mods after I got shaders, DH, biome and terrain mods working first

1.20.1 has the best mob support right now 1.21.1 second best Some mods have not even updated to 1.20.1 yet and require a use of in-dev alpha Fabric has less big game changing mods, but it has more native performance mods (Neo)Forge has more big game changing mods, but every time I tried it, the stability and mod compatibility was worse and the lack of native performance mods was clearly visible and feelable Also 1.20.1 forge has problems with shaders with DH, so the best in my opinion is 1.20.1 fabric

shaders, DH, biome and terrain mods are my priority over everything else

Those should work with both, so I would go for fabric for performance mods

I'm gonna try 1.20.1 fabric then I'll be back if I have any issues thanks for the help fellas <3
