Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) is a Forge 1.20.1 modpack by Kesselot, built around Koyoharu Gotouge's anime and manga. Instead of stacking tech trees, its 46 mods bend Minecraft toward the world of the Demon Slayer Corps, where the anime's slayers and demons set the pace of every session.
The hook is combat. The pack is tagged adventure and combat before anything else, so progression follows the fantasy of growing into a slayer and taking on tougher foes rather than automating a factory. A handful of kitchen-sink extras round out the world, so there is still building, exploring and gathering between hunts.
It suits anime fans who want to live out Demon Slayer with friends, small groups that like to roam together, and server owners who want a themed pack that stays light enough to run smoothly. Build 2.1.3 is the current release, and because the mod list is short it boots fast and is easy to keep in sync across every player's launcher.
Hosting Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer)
RAM and what drives load
With 46 mods this is a light pack, and 5 GB covers a group of around six slayers. Load here comes less from machines and more from fights: mobs, attacks and particle effects pile up when several players hunt in the same area. If ticks slip during a crowded brawl, take a spark profile to see which entities or mods eat the tick time before you reach for more memory.

Pregenerating the world
Hunting parties fan out quickly, and fresh chunks are the most expensive work a Forge 1.20.1 server does. Pregenerate the land around spawn before launch night with Forge's built-in command, which takes a chunk count rather than a radius. Run it in-game as an operator, wait for it to finish, then open the server to everyone so early exploration does not stall the whole group.

Java 17 and updating
Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 targets Java 17, so keep the server on that runtime. When Kesselot ships a build after 2.1.3, take a backup first and then switch builds from the Modpacks tab. Read the changelog before you update: a Demon Slayer mod that is removed or renamed between builds can leave missing blocks and items in chunks your players already explored.
Theme
Built on Demon Slayer
Kesselot's pack turns the anime's slayer and demon fantasy into a Minecraft adventure.
Weight
Light at 46 mods
A short mod list keeps the server responsive even when fights get crowded.
