Introduction to Starlight

Starlight is a new Minecraft modpack made to optimize and stabilize Minecraft along with fixing a few of its common pain points. Starlight is an unfinished product and is still being developed to be the best version of itself; please be patient and contact me if anything goes wrong.

Starlight was formerly called Night Client before being rebranded. And before the "Project Night Client" phase, during the earlier concept stages, it would've been named "Project Swift". Starlight was made to be a clean slate, not adding any useless bloat. Starlight is heavily inspired by Fabulously Optimized and Simply Optimized.

How to Set Up a Starlight Server

Order Server

Choose at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended for Starlight). Based on player count: per 8 players.

Install Modpack in Dashboard

Open the modpack browser in the dashboard, search for "Starlight" and click "Install". The fabric loader and Minecraft 1.21.11 are configured automatically.

Start Server & Play

Start the server – all mods are loaded automatically. Share the server IP with friends and play together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Starlight 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 Starlight 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 Starlight 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.

Starlight 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.
