You definitely need:
A legitimate copy of Minecraft Java Edition. (NOT BEDROCK)

A Laptop/PC (Obviously)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have that, here is the important info:
Server IP:
createvc.org
Minecraft version:
1.20.1 (Forge)
Mod loader required to join:
(You have options)
ATLauncher (My favorite, and it's Linux compatible)
https://atlauncher.com/downloads
•or Forge (most official but requires latest JDK and is a little tech savvy)
https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.20.1.html (use “latest” installer)
•or CurseForge (makes it easier)
https://www.curseforge.com/download/app
•or Modrinth (much like CurseForge)
Mods required to join:
(Please don't go through the hell of getting this to work, just download the full modpack and use a modding client to automatically set it up)
•Automodpack [REQUIRED]
https://www.curseforge.com/api/v1/mods/639211/files/6312897/download
Or just download my personal mod pack instead of dragging those into a folder:
(Only works if you have CurseForge, Modrinth, or ATLauncher!)
