About this Modpack
This project is for the public release of the Official Fossils and Archeology SMP Modpack.

You can create your own worlds and play with your friends with the same mods as the creators play with, all with a central point of Fossils and Archeology: Revival. This has been made possible by optimizing the heck out of the pack, allowing for playing at as low as 2GB of RAM on some systems!
There are quite the few things to explore alongside the main mod, including create and some of its addons, ad astra for an intersting space based raptor to bring home from the martian surface, and many many other mods that add bunches of building blocks to make your parks and enclosure look as pretty as you want!
For this pack, we personally recommend a setting of 6GB of RAM, and to not go higher than 12.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the public Discord!

Can I add custom mods to F&A Creator SMP Public Pack 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.

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.
