Arkon
A Fabric modpack with a focus on performance, aesthetics, and minimal gameplay modifications.
About this Modpack
Overview
Arkon is a fabric modpack that was originally created for use in Arkon SMP, but now works universally. It includes many performance optimization, quality of life, and aesthetic mods. There are also a few mods with more impact to gameplay. However, those mods are carefully chosen to avoid overcomplicating the game necessarily.
Mod highlights
- Sodium, Indium, Starlight, Iris (Helps improve performance and introduces Optifine shader support)
- Yung's mods, Towns & Towers, Tectonic (Introduces more interesting worldgen and structures without creating a bunch of custom biomes)
- Aquamirae, Immersive Armors (Introduces a new ice environment with some bosses and equipment, but remains relatively minimal)
- Origins, Croptopia (Introduces simple new gameplay mechanics)
- Create (Allows for more complex machinery and automation without creating too many abstractions)
There are also a variety of mods designed specifically for server use, such as better keepinventory, anti x-ray, and vanish (of course, these will not impact your experience in singleplayer).

Frequently Asked Questions
Arkon 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 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 Arkon 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 Arkon without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). 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.
Arkon 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.
