About this Mod

CICADA (proper backronym pending) is a library mod containing
general utilities and common abstractions I use in many of my mod projects.

Some of its features include:

An api to facilitate inter-mod conversations in the game log.
Other logging tomfoolery.
Player rendering independent of a world context.
A GSON based self-managed mod config template class.
An abstract mixin plugin to facilitate compatibility mixins.

Frequently Asked Questions

CICADA server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is CICADA compatible with fabric?

CICADA officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with CICADA – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CICADA consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
