About this Modpack
VanillaSquad is the official client-side modpack for a comfortable experience on the VanillaSquad server.
It includes everything players need for a smoother and more enjoyable start: performance optimization, voice chat, useful settings, shader support, and small visual improvements. No unnecessary content, no overloaded gameplay, and no changes to the vanilla Minecraft experience.
This modpack does not add new ores, mobs, dimensions, or gameplay systems. Minecraft still feels like Minecraft — it just runs better, looks nicer, and fits the VanillaSquad server experience more comfortably.
What does this modpack improve?
Smooth gameplay
The modpack includes client-side optimization mods that help improve FPS, reduce load, and make the game more stable on different systems.
Voice chat
With Plasmo Voice, you can talk to other players directly in-game. It makes building, exploring, trading, events, and everyday survival feel more alive and natural.
Better visuals
The modpack includes shader support and visual improvements. You can keep the classic Minecraft look or enable a more atmospheric style without complicated manual setup.
Comfort without extra clutter
Mod menus, graphics settings, zoom, stability fixes, Discord RPC, macOS input fixes, and other small quality-of-life improvements are already included and ready to use.
Who is this modpack for?
This modpack is made mainly for players who want to join VanillaSquad without manually searching for mods, checking versions, or setting everything up from scratch.
VanillaSquad is a private Minecraft server focused on vanilla survival, fair gameplay, towns, trading, events, building, and a friendly community. There are no claims, teleports, starter kits, or pay-to-win advantages — everything is built and earned by players.
Main idea
VanillaSquad Modpack does not try to change Minecraft.
It simply makes the game smoother, more stable, more comfortable, and more atmospheric while keeping the vanilla spirit intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
VanillaSquad server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong quilt 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 VanillaSquad 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 VanillaSquad without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) 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.
VanillaSquad 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.
