This pack was created to address that issue, providing a pure performance boost without any extra frills. It includes only non-invasive mods that won't alter your gameplay experience in any way. You'll also find all the essential features you'd expect from an optimization modpack, including shader support and compatibility with OptiFine texture packs.
✅ Large perfomance boost
✅ Replacement for Optifine
✅ Shaders
✅ NO changes to the vanilla gameplay experience!

Frequently Asked Questions
EfficientMC 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 EfficientMC 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 EfficientMC without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) 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.
EfficientMC 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.
