Choo Choo City
A fairly large modpack with many mods based around MTR trains, building/decoration, and building help.
About this Modpack
Choo Choo City
This is a modpack I made for a server with my friends where we wanted to build a big city with lots of trains.
As a result this modpack mainly includes train mods, building and decoration mods, and optimisation mods. However, there are a few QoL mods such as a minimap, and a mod allowing for custom horns and music discs.
[!WARNING]
While a shaderpack is included, the use of shaders is not recommended with MTR as it can cause issues with signs and models being displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choo Choo City 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 Choo Choo City 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 Choo Choo City 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.
