About this Modpack
Drop In

A modpack with the aim of being a drop-in replacement for Vanilla minecraft, in a similar way to OptiFine.
Drop In significantly enhances the performance of the game (including the stuttering), adds almost all of OptiFine's features, fixes some aspects of the game (bugs, for example), and makes some things overall prettier!
Features
- Almost all of OptiFine's features (CIT, capes, zoom, etc...)
- Stuttering highly dampened
- FPS significantly increased
- Loading times / memory usage significantly decreased
- Blink-and-you'll-miss-it fast chunk generation
- Network performance increased
- Shader support (Drop In comes pre-installed with Miniature Shader as an optional low-impact shader)
- Highly customizable LAN that can be shared to anyone inside/outside your network
- Bug fixes / General fixes
- Dynamic Lights
- Bushy Leaves (that are highly performant - the performance impact is negligible)
- Some aspects have been prettied up (leaves / animations)
Upcoming features:
- Huge performance increase on Nvdia GPUs (thanks to Nvidium)
- Perfect biome blend with no performance impact (using something like Better Biome Reblend)
Basically, the aim of this is to have a drop-in (hence the name) replacement for vanilla minecraft that keeps the game like it is now, while simply trying to fixing all of it's shortcomings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drop In 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 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 Drop In 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 Drop In 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.
Drop In 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.
