Mantle
Base library required for SlimeKnights mods, including Tinkers' Construct, Natura, Inspirations, and Cermaics
About this Mod
This contains shared code for Forge mods and is used by the SlimeKnights such as Tinkers' Construct, Natura, Tinkers' Mechworks, Inspirations, and Ceramics. Descriptive book code, common inventories, and JSON parsing utilities are here.
Why? For science and slime, why else?
Source code can be found on github.
Also adds a reworked hearts display with overlaid colored hearts, instead of rows over rows of stacked hearts. The different colors only appear if you have a way to increase your max health, regular hearts are unchanged. This can be disabled in the client config file if you wish.
This project currently has builds for 1.18.2+ along with 1.7.10, 1.12.2, and 1.16.5. If you are using a Minecraft version other than that which has a Mantle release, make a request on our discord and I will upload the older build.

Mantle server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Mantle compatible with forge and neoforge?
Mantle officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.19.2, 1.18.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Mantle – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Mantle 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.
