As seen in my Hardcore Series!
This is a vanilla friendly modpack that reflects the mods I use in my Hardcore series. The only omissions from the pack are things like Axiom, Flashback, and other content creation related mods. The pack also includes my shaders and the config folder for them, so the settings should match up with what I use. Enjoy!

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 Hardcore Kingdoms without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). 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.
