Collection
Collection is a medium to lightweight custom modpack made for a private server. The goal is to add to the Minecraft experience without trivializing or departing far from core vanilla gameplay, while still adding different ways to play.
About this Modpack
Collection is a simple modpack based around Vanilla, Origins, and Create gameplay, additionally adding light improvements to existing vanilla systems. My goal is to add more paths to take and things to do aside from the vanilla gameplay loop, without devaluing or disrupting it. The additional mods aside from Origins and Create will vary and change depending on the game version, mod loader, and what mods are available for the current update.
This modpack is created and maintained for a private group and server, so changes, additions, and removals will depend on the activity of that group. Legacy versions of this modpack will still be available, but only the last version before a major update.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collection 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 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 Collection server really need?
Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 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 €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Collection 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.
Collection 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.
