About this Modpack

Festive Fantasy

A Fantasy-Inspired modpack, fit for the winter season.
Highly focused on the immersive aspects, with a number of curios, food related mods, and upgrades to travelling and nomadic bases, with a vanilla-lite feel.

Above ground is largely peaceful, bar a few bands of wandering pillagers. In contrast, the depths are filled with a number of lurking undead.
However, as the corners of the map are expanded on, beware - Here Lies Dragons.

Typical vanilla progression amplified by soft-magic systems. No throwing fireballs here, but the opportunity to use powerful rituals to attain gear from mods like Malum, Eidolon:Repraised, and Enchanted:Witchcraft, as well as the eventual access to Flight via Ice & Fire's Dragon taming!

The mod uses Serene Seasons to allow for constant falling snow, and a few other immersive mods. This includes Cold Sweat, a temperature mod, but the default configs should have this so that this is largely cosmetic, with a small health cap when freezing - balanced out by the fact there are no mods above the surface.

This mod seeks to prolongue the "midgame" of Minecraft, focusing on horses for movement, and hitting its stride with Magic around the same time as the Enchanting Table becomes available. Additionally, to encourage exploration, the End Remastered mod requires players to find 12 eyes hidden around the world in structures before being able to enter the End(game)!

Highly Recommended Items for Travelling:

  • Campfire
  • Backpack
  • Flute (to annoy your friends! Features a Drag&Drop MIDI file system to import your favourite fantasy songs!)
  • Map Atlas
  • Frying Pan
  • Conestoga Wagon (and Horses)

Frequently Asked Questions

Festive Fantasy 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 Festive Fantasy 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 Festive Fantasy 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.

Festive Fantasy 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.
