Placebo
Placebo is a library used by most of my mods. It does not provide any game-relevant features on its own (save for maybe a couple debug commands).
About this Mod
Holds shared code for use in my mods.
Alone, this mod does nothing but register itself as a mod, hence the name.

Placebo 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Placebo compatible with forge and neoforge?
Placebo officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.1, 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Placebo – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Placebo 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.
