About this Modpack

Ahoy There Powder Monkeys!

Tired of bloated modpacks with 10 million things to do and only 3 of them worth doing? Do you yearn for the simple life of fresh air, sea salt, and terrified merchants on the high seas? Or perhaps you've told yourself you'll move near the water one day? Look no further!

This modpack crafts (casts) you away into an endless world of islands to sail around and explore, with just the bare minimum, and then some.

  • No crazy tech to generate so-called "electricity"
  • No screen-robbing HUDs
  • No fancy GPS fit for a missile defense system (more for an outboard fishing boat)
  • No quests for easy money and iron
  • No excessive accessories to turn yourself into Jesus Christ
  • No phone, no lights, no motor car (okay there are lights to keep back the darkness)

The only way around is just an old map, a rusty compass, the ruins below, the stars above, and your head, on your modest raft or grand vessel. We'll grant you a few luxuries, at least.

Find a place to settle with ample, but not overbearing building options. Or, become an ocean nomad if you're not ready to settle down.

Now a note from the serious captain...

I originally created this pack for my own mates, so things may get rough and some interesting changes may occur. Not as drastic as destroying the world gen, but a mod or two may go missing from time to time as we find better replacements. Plus, this may randomly go outdated as we move on from our Minecraft phase (which, thankfully, is longer than 2 weeks). But I figured other people would want a taste of the life at sea, so here we are.

The mod list can be found on the GitHub source page, linked in the external links.

Thanks for tuning in! I hope you enjoy this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Craftaway 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 Craftaway 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 Craftaway without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21). 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.

Craftaway 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.
