About this Modpack
👑 Always Updated
Always Updated is a modpack that prioritizes updating quickly to the latest snapshots having the best optimization mods and configurations that are avaliable for the current Minecraft snapshot. There are very minimal quality of life (QoL) mods if you are expecting other ones you are going to need to add your own or use another modpack.
Maintenance
When a new Minecraft snapshot or release comes out, I will stop supporting all earlier versions of the modpack. This pack is only updated and maintained for the most recent snapshot or official release. I will update the release channel for all older versions from Release to Beta. I try to update the modpack as fast as possible but I cannot update any faster as I tend to wait for the Sodium maintainer to update to the latest snapshot.

FAQ
Q: Why is the "Game Version" on Modrinth showing as blank?
A: The "Game Version" may show as blank on Modrinth because their API isn't always updated to the latest snapshot version.
Q: Will you backport or fix X version?
A: If an issue request is created I will.
I made this because I play on the server 8bit.pt and most optimization modpacks dont update to snapshots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Always Updated server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Always Updated server really need?
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 Always Updated without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (26.1-snapshot-10). 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.
Always Updated 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
