About this Modpack
Cloudbusting is a modpack that seeks to recreate the Minecraft world into a glorious sky world! Being the first project in my new "Miniature Modpacks" series, the cloudy skylands are brought to life with only 10 primary mods (as well as a bunch of performance/QoL mods but those don't count).
The world generates in clusters of floating, towering islands, capable of generating all vanilla terrain and natural features. Peppered throughout this world are additional floating structures, giving players locations to find and explore. The pack also comes with 3 mods that add unique ways to traverse get around! And bridges!
The entire pack is also thoughtfully tweaked and modified to add some visual flare, tying together the idea that this truly is a world in the clouds!
Check out the video below showing the creation process!

Frequently Asked Questions
Cloudbusting 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 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 Cloudbusting 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 Cloudbusting 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.
Cloudbusting 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
