About this Mod

Simple mod that collects anonymous player count metrics for modpack authors, sends it to a centralized web server, and stores it in InfluxDB for easy Grafana viewing of historical data-blocked:

This mod integrates with Better Compatibility Checker and will use the version number from your BCC config if possible.
Metrics endpoint URL is configurable, as well as pack ID and the rate at which keepalive requests should be sent.

You can find an example server here on GitHub, which just collects current usage stats for each modpack ID and optionally sends it over to Grafana.
Note: this mod does not send player information, usernames, or IDs. It just makes a simple "I'm playing" request with the modpack version you are on, every so often, to track online players.

Pack Analytics 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Pack Analytics compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Pack Analytics officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.20. 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 Pack Analytics – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Pack Analytics 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.
