CivPak
A relatively minimal modpack made to enhance the experience on 'civ' type servers. This pack is specifically formulated around CivMC and its rules, so if you use this pack on another server, do your own research to make sure everything here is compliant!
About this Modpack
CivPak
Unofficial modpack aimed for use on multiplayer servers with Civ plugins
What is this for?
CivPak is a fairly lightweight modpack built on Fabric intended to enhance 'Civ' style minecraft servers—that is, servers usable on a vanilla client featuring the block reinforcement plugin Citadel, and the block-based in-game action-tracking plugin JukeAlert. This pack was built specifically with the server CivMC in mind, and has been formulated around its rules.
Mod Selection
Includes:
- Journeymap with a custom config designed to be as compliant as possible with CivMC's rules. (if you have performance issues, I recommend turning the entity radar off)
- GammaUtils for a more customizable fullbright experience compared to the server's freely available in-game /gamma command (which simply provides the Night Vision effect).
- The Snitch Mod to provide better management, placement, and visualization of owned snitches on a Civ server.
- LambDynamicLights for a generally more immersive experience using torches and other light-emitting blocks/items. I recommend setting this mod to fast in its settings/config for a good balance between performance and quality on the vanilla client.
- Various performance optimization mods including Sodium.
Disclaimers
About Server Rules
If you play on any server with this modpack, please review that server's rules and/or verify with that server's admin(s) to ensure everything on here is allowed. I've done my best to make sure all the mods here are above board, but some servers may have particularly strict rules and I'd always recommend due diligence to avoid any bans.

Frequently Asked Questions
CivPak 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 CivPak 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 CivPak without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). 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.
CivPak 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.
