All the Bells and Whistles...*
Thanks to mods such as Legacy4J and Minimega, everything from the washed-out (if desired) gamma, easy to navigate crafting interface, and controller input, to the Texture Packs, Skin Packs, Mash-Up Worlds and Mini Games, are all accessible right out of the box!
As of Re-Console+ 26.x, Re-Console even now features proper Limited World Generation!
As of writing, features contributing to the "complete experience" (i.e. working tutorial system and console-style global achievements) are already under development for Re-Console+.
Don't worry, the features mentioned above are 100% playable!
...and much more!
On top of these fundamental LCE features, Re-Console also adds plenty of custom Texture Packs, OptiFine features such as Better Grass, dynamic lighting and built-in shader packs, Bedrock-style bridging, and more!
Nice and Speedy!
With the help of some of Minecraft's best optimization mods, we've been able to squeeze out performance that far exceeds what the vanilla game gives you, and maintains the "Always 60FPS" vision of LCE (though with considerably more frames than that)
At times, Re-Console can even match, or exceed dedicated Performance Modpacks, as it utilizes its own unique performance stack!
Updates, people... Updates!
Whenever a major functional part of the modpack is updates, whether it be a resource pack or gameplay mod, we ready ourselves to do the same. Though, not everything will be guaranteed an update within the pack if it breaks functionality, so our update strategy is quick and simple, yet remains methodical.
Built-in SMP!
Re-Console comes built in with the Re-Console SMP, our officially run Survival Multiplayer Server, with an active community and active updates!
Free and Open Source!
Re-Console is comprised of only open-source or source-available mods, which gives you the ability to see the code and contribute to the mods in the pack. The modpack is also available on Codeberg as a packwiz project.
Re-Console LTS!
Modern Re-Console is a significant evolution from the initial Re-Console. However, we still continue to maintain those original versions with bug-fixes, occasional feature backports, and other features from modern Re-Console+ versions.
For more information on LTS, you can read our LTS page on our Documentation!

Frequently Asked Questions
Re-Console server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric 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 Re-Console 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 Re-Console without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (26.2). 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.
Re-Console 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
