About this Modpack

Foundation

Basic universal modpack for Minecraft.

Include a lot of QOL and optimization mods.

"Element Stack"

Using Sodium Sodium Extra Indium to optimize your game performace. This modpack should work on any machine if you don't use shaders.

Shaders and Resource Packs

Modpack come with Iris mod and some great Shader Packs. The shader is disabled by default, you need to enable it manully in Options->Video Settings->Shader Packs.

If you are a Redstone player, you definitely want to enable the XeKr's Redstone Display resource pack which gives you a lot of extra information like the status of a block, the power level of redstone dust and so on.

Shader are enabled by default

"MASA Stack"

Althought MASA mods like Litematica MiniHUD Tweakeroo and etc have not beed update to 1.20 yet. So the community compiled version of those mods have been added and provide you with the same functions as you expected. Also some extra mods based on "MASA Stack" have been added too.

Enabled tweaks by default:

  • Map Preview
  • Inventory Preview (ALT or Option key)
  • Shulker Box Preview

Tips 1: Some of the functions of MASA Stack mods require Carpet mod to work on your server if you want to play in multiplayer.

Tips 2: Because of key conflict, some key bindings have been changed. You can go to Options->Controls->Key Bind to check it out. Note that the MASA Stack mods' key bind are not listed. The default key to open the world map has been changed to G.

Key binds:

  • Y: (Tweakeroo) Free Camera
  • B: (Tweakeroo) Fake Sneaking
  • C: (Tweakeroo) Fast Right Click
  • N: (Litematica) Easy Placement Mode
  • H: (MiniHUD) Light Level
  • G: (Xaeros World Map) World Map

  • J: (Do a Barrel Roll) Enable/Disable Thrust

How to Set Up a Foundation Server

1

2

Install Modpack in Dashboard

Open the modpack browser in the dashboard, search for "Foundation" and click "Install". The fabric loader and Minecraft 1.21 are configured automatically.

Start the server – all mods are loaded automatically. Share the server IP with friends and play together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Foundation 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 Foundation 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 Foundation 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.

Foundation 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.
