About this Modpack
In this modpack, you will find yourself in a prehistoric world, the climate is radically different, mostly split between wet & very dry biomes.
Be careful not to die of starvation, you may have to fight dinosaurs to survive.
Dinosaurs roam everywhere & survival is your main goal.
FYI, you may need a more powerful PC for this modpack, I haven't done much testing on weaker PC's
PS: Modpack isn't fully finished yet, uploading so I can add versions more easily in the future.
Some controls that aren't explained;
Press J to open Quests
Press V to lower your sails on a ship
To tame a Dinosaur, you have to drop the type of meat it eats on the ground. (it takes a LOT, so if you think the mod is broken, it's likely it's not)
Note for modrinth staff: the 2 mods, entity_block_breaker & hardmoblimits are both mods I coded and are currently in the process of being reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cavecraft server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge 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 Cavecraft 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 Cavecraft without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). 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.
Cavecraft 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.
