About this Mod
[DISCONTINUED]
I'll be archiving this mod. I want to spend more time on MM, but I don't want a bunch of bugs from my other projects to get in the way of users' experience. The useful features will be ported over to NumFlux(server) & GPUBooster(client). That way, I should have enough time for these three projects.






Tests on 1.20.2 without any optimizing mods.

Palladium 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 (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Palladium compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Palladium officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.7, 1.21.6. 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 Palladium – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Palladium 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.
