Ore Plus (Legacy) officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. 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 Ore Plus (Legacy) – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Ore Plus (Legacy) consumes the most tick time.
