Micro stuttering during gameplay
Distant Horizons currently seems to be causing stuttering when generating new LODs, especially with shaders enabled.
Elysium by default has tweaked Distant Horizons' config to minimize this stutter as much as possible without affecting LOD generation.
Where are the trial chambers?
Currently, Terralith will prevent trial chambers from spawning for reasons unknown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Elysium server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong quilt 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 Elysium 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 Elysium without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) and same Minecraft version (1.21.4). 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.
Elysium 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.
