This one is a client pack, not a server pack — and knowing the difference is what actually fixes your lag.

Amazing FPS Booster is a Fabric performance pack by Sh4d0wJ0J0 with over 150,000 downloads on CurseForge. It bundles the well-known Fabric optimisation mods — Sodium and the rendering and memory mods that go with it — into one install, so players get much better frame rates without assembling the list themselves.
The important thing to understand before you set up a server: this pack changes how Minecraft renders on your computer. It is a client-side pack. It does not add blocks, items or world content, and nothing in it needs to run on the server.
These get confused constantly, and confusing them wastes money. Low FPS is your graphics card and CPU struggling to draw frames — that is what a performance pack fixes. Rubber-banding, delayed block breaking, mobs freezing and items appearing a second after you drop them are server-side tick problems, and no client mod will touch them.
A quick way to tell them apart: press F3 in game. If your FPS number is low, that is a client problem. If FPS is fine but the TPS or MSPT figure on the server is struggling, that is the server. Fixing the wrong one leaves you exactly where you started.
No. Client-side rendering mods do not belong in a server install, and adding them can prevent the server from starting at all. Run a normal Fabric server for whatever version you are playing, and let each player install the performance pack on their own machine.
Everyone still needs the same Minecraft and Fabric version as the server, but the individual optimisation mods do not have to match between players — a group can happily have some people on the pack and some without it.
If your problem really is on the server, there are Fabric mods built for that side — the ones that optimise entity handling, chunk loading and world saving. Those do go in the server install, and they are a different set from the rendering mods in a client FPS pack. Add them one at a time and check tick times after each, so you know which one helped.
Most groups who install an FPS pack and still feel lag were never limited by frame rate to begin with. Before changing anything, spend one session identifying whether the problem is on your machine or on the server. It takes five minutes and it is the difference between a fix and a guess.
