About this Modpack

This mod is not included due to licensing, but it's highly recommended for full experience.

🧱 Create Colonies

Create Colonies is a focused Forge 1.20.1 modpack built around two core experiences: automation with Create and settlement management with MineColonies. No clutter, no unnecessary side mods — just you, your colony, and your machines.

🎮 Why this pack?

I made this modpack because I couldn’t find a simple, lightweight setup that felt right. This is my first published pack, and it’s designed to be clean, functional, and ready to play. Perfect for “100 Days” videos or long-term survival worlds — just add your favorite extras like ReplayMod and go.

🔧 What’s included:

  • Create (of course) — build kinetic contraptions, trains, and factories
  • MineColonies — manage workers, expand your town, and shape your colony
  • FancyMenu — custom menus, loading screens, and meme-infused UI polish
  • QoL Mods — REI, Jade, AppleSkin, Mouse Tweaks and more
  • Embeddium + Oculus — performance and shader support without OptiFine

🔄 Updates & Feedback:

I plan to keep improving the pack over time — possibly adding more mods, refining configs, and expanding features. One thing is certain: I’ll be releasing a Lite version for lower-end PCs. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord: duskwisper_bitpix

Frequently Asked Questions

Create Colonies 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 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 Create Colonies 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 Create Colonies 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.

Create Colonies 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.
