known Issues (1.19.2)
- Iris Shaders with geckolib
Currently geckolib (used with mods Wondrous Wilds and Aphid Additions) does not currently have support for Iris shaders. (read more on this issue here: https://github.com/IrisShaders/Iris/issues/1878).
From what I can tell, Iris shaders will still work, however without modifying the shadow settings on your shader you might find the animations, for those two mods, have issues. - Paladin's Furniture Mod - book
Paladin's Furniture Mod requires Patchouli to view its recipe book, however its an CC mod so im a little hesitant to add it to the pack

Frequently Asked Questions
GeoAndFriends 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 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 GeoAndFriends 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 GeoAndFriends 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.
GeoAndFriends 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
