About this Modpack

This event can be streamed or recorded and uploaded to a streaming plateform: it's pretty fun to watch this type of content.
You can also add semi-rp to take away some of the boring aspects of survival on Minecraft.

- Several players (the heros) with one life against one speedrunner (the hunter) with multiple life
- The goal of the heros is to kill the Ender Dragon and to build a house with farms and redstone systems

Just follow the steps to install it with Docker and stop it when Minecraft server start (you can see when it starts with docker compose logs).
It will create a folder called minecraft-data and follow these steps:

chown -R user:user minecraft-data - Go into this folder
cd minecraft-data - Start the server with

Frequently Asked Questions
BioTechnica Challenge 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 BioTechnica Challenge 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 BioTechnica Challenge without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) and same Minecraft version (1.19.4). 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.
BioTechnica Challenge 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.
