Downloading and Installing Observable - Remake

This page explains how to download and install Observable - Remake on a NeoForge server, in single-player, or optionally on a Minecraft client.

Important

Observable - Remake is made for Minecraft 26.1.2, NeoForge 26.1.2.74 or newer compatible 26.1.2 builds, and Java 25.

Downloads

Official release files are available only on CurseForge:

GitHub is used only for:

  • Source code
  • Wiki documentation
  • Issue tracking
  • Development history

Compiled release JAR files should not be downloaded from GitHub.

Only download files published by Bomberbude.de on the official CurseForge project page.

The release file is named similar to:

Observable-Remake-V1.0-NeoForge-26.1.2.74.jar

Do not extract or rename the JAR file.

Requirements

Component Required version
Minecraft 26.1.2
Mod loader NeoForge
NeoForge 26.1.2.74 or newer compatible 26.1.2 build
Java Java 25, 64-bit
Applied Energistics 2 Optional

Applied Energistics 2 is not required. AE2 profiling support is enabled automatically when AE2 is installed.

Dedicated Server Installation

Installing Observable - Remake on a server is simple: place the downloaded JAR file inside the server's mods folder.

Installation Steps

  1. Download Observable - Remake from the official CurseForge page.

  2. Stop the Minecraft server completely.

  3. Open the server directory.

  4. Open the following folder:

    mods

  5. Copy the downloaded JAR file into the mods folder.

The server directory should look similar to this:

minecraft-server/
├── mods/
│   └── Observable-Remake-V1.0-NeoForge-26.1.2.74.jar
├── config/
├── libraries/
├── run.bat
├── run.sh
└── server.properties
  1. Start the server with Java 25.
  2. Check the server console or logs/latest.log for startup errors.

That is all that is required for the server-side installation.

Note

Do not place the JAR inside a subfolder within mods. It must be placed directly inside the server's mods folder.

Server-Side Installation

Observable - Remake can be installed only on the dedicated server.

Players without the mod installed may still join the server and play normally.

Server-side features include:

  • Server tick profiling
  • Entity analysis
  • Block-entity analysis
  • Chunk hotspot detection
  • Aggregated profiling results
  • Execution trace collection
  • Automatic profile uploads
  • Shareable analysis links

Optional Client Installation

Installing Observable - Remake on the client is optional.

Client installation is recommended for administrators who want to use:

  • The in-game profiling interface
  • The in-world performance overlay
  • Entity hotspot markers
  • Block-entity hotspot markers
  • Timing labels
  • Visual profiling results

To install the mod on a client:

  1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 26.1.2.
  2. Close Minecraft completely.
  3. Open the Minecraft installation directory.
  4. Open the mods folder.
  5. Copy the Observable - Remake JAR into the folder.
  6. Start Minecraft using the NeoForge profile.

When the mod is installed on both the server and client, both sides should use the same Observable - Remake version.

Single-Player Installation

For single-player worlds:

  1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 26.1.2.
  2. Download Observable - Remake from CurseForge.
  3. Place the downloaded JAR inside the client's mods folder.
  4. Start Minecraft with the NeoForge profile.
  5. Open or create a world.

Observable - Remake can then profile the integrated server used by the single-player world.

Applied Energistics 2 Integration

Applied Energistics 2 support is optional and requires no additional configuration.

When AE2 is installed, Observable - Remake can profile grid activity and components such as:

  • Storage Buses
  • Import Buses
  • Export Buses
  • Interfaces
  • Pattern Providers
  • ME network devices
  • Other AE2 grid-tick operations

When AE2 is not installed, Observable - Remake continues to work normally without AE2-specific profiling information.

Profile Uploads

Completed profiles are uploaded automatically to the Bomberbude.de profile viewer:

Open the Observable - Remake Profile Viewer

After a successful profiling session, the mod returns a shareable link in Minecraft chat:

https://obs.bombersbude.de/p/PROFILE-ID

The upload endpoint is already included in the official mod release.

No manual uploadURL configuration is required.

Verifying the Installation

After starting the server, check the following:

  1. The server starts without a mod-loading error.

  2. Observable - Remake appears in the server log.

  3. The following command is available:

    /observable

  4. A profiling session can be started by an authorized player or server operator.

Example:

/observable run 60

This starts a 60-second profiling session.

Updating the Mod

To update Observable - Remake:

  1. Stop the server completely.
  2. Open the server's mods folder.
  3. Delete the old Observable - Remake JAR.
  4. Copy the new JAR into the mods folder.
  5. Make sure only one Observable - Remake version is installed.
  6. Start the server again.

Do not keep multiple versions of the mod in the same mods folder.

Troubleshooting

The server does not start

Check that:

  • Minecraft is version 26.1.2.
  • NeoForge is version 26.1.2.74 or newer within the compatible 26.1.2 line.
  • The server uses Java 25.
  • The JAR was not extracted.
  • Only one Observable - Remake JAR is installed.
  • The file is located directly inside the mods folder.

The profiling interface is missing

The graphical interface and in-world overlay require Observable - Remake to be installed on the client.

Server-side commands and profiling can still work without client installation.

AE2 information is missing

Confirm that Applied Energistics 2 is installed on the server and is compatible with the installed Minecraft and NeoForge versions.

The profile link does not open

Check that the server can make outbound HTTPS connections and that the profile service is reachable:
