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 writing, features contributing to the "complete experience" (i.e. working tutorial system, console-style global achievements) are being considered or are already under development.
Don't worry, the features mentioned above are 100% playable!
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 (with even more frames to spare!)
Updates, Updates, 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 Servers! (should i mace him?)
Simply Legacy comes with servers from the Re-Console Network built-in! Whether you want to chill out (or not) in Survival, build in Creative, or let loose in Anarchy, there's always room for play, with a very vibrant community of players, and frequent updates for your convenience and enjoyment!
Free and Open Source!
Simply Legacy is comprised of only open-source or source-available mods, giving you the ability to see the code and contribute to the mods in the pack. The modpack itself (config files and project info) is available on our Forgejo instance as a packwand project.

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB.

With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Simply Legacy 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 Simply Legacy without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (26.1.2). 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.
Simply Legacy 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.
