About this Modpack

CATACLYSM

When the sirens stopped, the world was already gone.
Cities fell silent. Streets filled with the sound of footsteps that weren’t human.
Now, there’s no rescue, no hope — only survival.

This is THE CATACLYSM, a hardcore survival modpack inspired by Project Zomboid, where every minute alive is earned. Forget everything you know about peaceful Minecraft — hunger, infection, fear, and exhaustion will be your new reality.

WHY THERE ARE NO UPDATES:

I'm currently focused on other projects and don't feel like updating this mod pack right now. Maybe I'll improve it in the future and make it more fun and stable, but not now. I don't like how this mod pack is right now, and you probably don't either. Sorry, but the truth is, there are much better zombie mod packs out there than mine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cataclysm Z server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

How much RAM does a Cataclysm Z server really need?

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €5.2/month).

Can I add custom mods to Cataclysm Z without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.

Cataclysm Z server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
