Compatibility
Mods like Sodium, Indium, and Lithium work together to ensure that as many mods as possible are compatible with this modpack. Sodium extra, Reese's Sodium Options, and Mod menu simplify control and add an extra level of customization to the game. Iris shaders makes the game compatible with Optifine resource packs and shaders, as well as optimizing performance with shaders, and starlight is a perfect mod with iris to completely rewrite the lighting engine to make it as fast as possible.
Notes
This modpack does not include any quality of life mods, and that's what makes it a blank canvas. You build upon the foundations provided to make it your own (or stick with vanilla like I usually do.) Some mods that I personally recommend to even further improve performance are ModernFix by embeddedt, More Culling by FX, and ImmediatelyFast by RaphiMC

Can I add custom mods to blank canvas without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
blank canvas 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.
