About this Modpack
Credits & Disclaimer
This modpack is a personal curation built on top of the performance-focused foundation provided by the Adrenaline modpack concept (a highly optimized collection of Fabric mods aimed at improving rendering, game logic, memory usage, and overall FPS). Many modern optimized packs (such as Additive) are kept in sync with Adrenaline's core improvements.

I am not affiliated with the original Adrenaline creators, any mod developers, resource pack authors, or shader creators. I simply combined, configured, and tested these components to work well together, with a focus on smooth performance and enhanced animations. Full credit goes to the original developers and artists — please support them by downloading from their official pages!

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Adrenaline: Dawnlight Edition without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
Adrenaline: Dawnlight Edition server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
