About this Modpack

Title

Better Bonkus is a modpack designed for the Survival SMP "Bonkus", in order to increase performance for all members playing. The SMP itself is Vanilla, so all mods inside of the pack are Client-Side and Vanilla Friendly. The mods in the pack consist mostly of performance mods, such as Sodium, and small quality of life mods, such as Mouse Tweaks.

Overall, the modpack should increase the quality of life for anyone using it on the server.

I also reccomend turning down certain settings such as Distant Horizons before joining a server, as lesser computers may have trouble rendering the visuals provided by the mod.

The pack will also include some optional features, such as shaders, resource packs, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Better Bonkus 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 Better Bonkus 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 Better Bonkus without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.10). 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.

Better Bonkus 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.
