About this Modpack
Axon
Axon is a semi-vanilla Minecraft modpack that includes some optimization mods, along with a extra mods that don't change major parts of the game. We recommend using it if you have a Mac and have trouble with other optimization modpacks. It also works well on Linux, but it has not been tested on Windows because we do not have access to a Windows computer at the moment. We do not recommend joining larger servers with this modpack enabled as they may ban something like Zoomify or Xaero's Minimap
Sodium, Lithium, Exordium, EntityCulling, C2ME: Increase the performance of the game greatly, especially on lower end hardware.
LambDynamicLights: Adds Optifine-like dynamic lighting to any glowing item in your hand.
Sodium Extra + Reese's Sodium Options: These add a plethora of features to sodium, such as the ability to enable more FPS info and show coordinates.
No Chat Reports: Removes message signing on servers that have it enabled, preventing chat reporting.
Debugify: Fixes almost 100 bugs listed in Minecraft's bug tracker. (this is genuinely amazing for Mac users)
Auth Me: Allows you to (re-)authenticate your account when needed instead of having to close your Minecraft instance.
Iris Shaders: Allows you to enhance the game's graphics with shader packs on a capable computer.
Zoomify: Adds another Optifine feature, the zoom button (Replaces Ok Zoomer which replaced Zoomify)
Xaero's Minimap: Adds a fully featured minimap to the game.
Xaero's World Map: Adds a fully featured world map to the game.
Smaller mods and APIs: Indium, Cloth Config API, BetterF3, Server Pack Unlocker, AntiGhost
Disclaimer:
None of this code is mine, but if you have an issue with something in the modpack you can submit it on GitHub, email me at [email protected] or report the bug to the specific mod's developers if you know which mod caused the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Axon server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong quilt 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 Axon 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 Axon without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) and same Minecraft version (1.20). 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.
Axon 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.
