About this Modpack

World War I: Trenches

This is a modpack created for a World War I event that was played around a year ago. (See _ToL_'s video below)
stirelic compiled the core gameplay mods and _ToL_ optimized the modpack to bring it to completion.
We wanted to create a simple modpack to simulate trench warfare with guns.

Mods

We included TaCZ and Immersive Aircraft for the main content of the modpack, with some extra mods to enhance the experience, like Sound Physics Remastered. For optimization, a (now outdated) version of _ToL_'s Optimization was included. (see Configuration)

Map

A fresh copy of the map is included with the modpack, but you can also download it here.

Configuration

Please configure the included mods to your playstyle and preferences: video settings, keybinds, etc. You especially need to configure Exordium, or you will face some unexpected results with your GUI! If you don't want to configure Exordium (or any other mod), feel free to disable/remove it.

Shaders

Nostalgia v5.1 is included with the modpack. It was used in the video, and it's one of our favorite shaders. Feel free to experiment and/or add your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

World War I: Trenches 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 World War I: Trenches 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 World War I: Trenches without conflicts?

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

World War I: Trenches 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.
