Text Formatting Everywhere server crashes on startup – what to do?

Text Formatting Everywhere officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.11-rc3, 1.21.11-rc2. 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 Text Formatting Everywhere – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Text Formatting Everywhere consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
