Some of the mods, based on the Modpack officially released on CurseForge, due to rights and copyright issues, are not included in this Modpack on Modrinth, so some of the experiences or future versions of this Modpack will not have them or I will probably remove them from the ModPack! Sorry about that, but it's beyond my control!

Attention

All these mods are not my work, and I have no rights over them! So, I took all these mods from CurseForge and Modrinth to create a Modpack and make it easy and optimized for everyone who wants to play it! Hope you understand it !

Attention !

This ModPack is included with Better Combat and First Person. When First person mod is activated, if you press 'R' on your keyboard, the Better Combat broke, because the button 'R' change your perspective on Better combat to improve your abilities. So, how can i solve it? Removing the mod can be a great solution but a little hard, so you can press 'F6' to desactive the first person perspective to use the Better combat issues. If you want to activate the First Person again, just press 'F6'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ark Origins server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 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 Ark Origins server really need?

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 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 €12/month).

Can I add custom mods to Ark Origins without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.18.2). 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.

Ark Origins server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 8 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.
