Questions

How do I install and use this datapack?

Simply place the datapack zip file in the datapacks and resourcepacks folder of your world and reload both. You can also drag it into the data packs screen during world creation and resource packs screen, just make sure to enable it on the right side. Alternatively, you can use any global datapack loader mod or the mod packaged version!

Is the resource pack or anything client-side required?

Nope! The resource pack only gives the added firework a custom texture and all functionality is added server-side.

Will there be updates or additions to this pack?

I made this addition for fun to celebrate the holiday, while I do not have any plans to expand its content, I may revisit it in future years if interested!

Frequently Asked Questions

Independence Firework server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 Independence Firework compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Independence Firework officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. 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 Independence Firework – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Independence Firework 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.
