An API that supports different mod loaders and is the basis of mods like Factocrafty
About this Mod
🥽 About
An API that adds several client and server side functions, both for developers and those who make resource packs, among them:
- UI Definitions, to add or modify countless elements of the screens and GUI, either using resource packs (main function) or by code
- Essential Events, most of them abstracting directly from the mod loaders
- A Common Network, to send and register payloads in a unified way, requiring almost zero changes between the supported versions
- Several common implementations among modloaders of item, fluid and energy storage with the correct exposure for the respective APIs
- A way to have block lighting levels with access to Level (only implemented in Fabric, Forge and NeoForge already have this)

Factory API 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Factory API compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Factory API officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.11, 1.21.10. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Factory API – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Factory API 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.
