Cruz's Optimized Modpack
Well-researched optimization modpack with an emphasis on pure game performance.
About this Modpack
Cruz's Optimization Modpack attempts to offer a foundation of the greatest optimization mods out there, set up to get the best possible performance. It frequently beats other optimization solutions in benchmarks thanks to countless hours of research.
The Modpack is designed with simplicity and maintainability in mind. As a result, the pack contains very few by default quality-of-life or visual improvements mods.
This modpack also comes with the nessesary dependencies for each mod and also has shaders support with the well-known mod Iris Shaders.
I will be updating the modpack time-to-time whenever i see theres a significant improvement in the updates of each mod.

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 Cruz's Optimized Modpack 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 Cruz's Optimized Modpack 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.
Cruz's Optimized Modpack 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.
