About this Modpack

A client? Not rlly, just a modpack but Client sounds kewler

Simplicity + QOL features

This modpack aims to provide ease of access to everyone hoping to improve fps but also have some QOL features. The modpack incorporates the best optimization mods available to achieve max performance. And since most players don't just use optimization mods, we added QOL mods. For example, there is a mod that display the time you have potions for, what durability your armor is on, and a screen shoting mod that make sharing screen shots easier. By including both QOL mods AND optimization mods, the Lightning Client is an all in one modpack that offers everything a player could need to enjoy Minecraft.

Adding your own mods

You can add your own mods and build on this modpack. But be sure to be careful of the compatibility issues. I won't be able to help with such issues.

Sodium vs. Vulkan

There are now 2 Modes for this Modpack- Sodium and Vulkan.
I would use the Sodium + Nvdium modpacks if you're on NVDIA GPUs

Both are good but Vulkan has compatibility issues with a lot of mods. I would suggest trying both of the modpacks out because you could get a lot more frames on Vulkan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lightning Client 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 Lightning Client server really need?

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 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 Lightning Client without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). 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.

Lightning Client 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.
