About this Modpack
Introduction
HyCraft is an old Modpack from 2014 revitalized for newer versions of Minecraft.
It emphasizes exploration, combat, challenges, & progression in a balanced but chaotic way! The modpack despite its size is surpizingly fast and lightweight compared to other large modpacks due to tweaks to optimize performance beyond what most other modpacks do, meaning it doesn't require a beefy computer to run!
Content
Explore new biomes, structures, caves, villages. See new wild life, mobs, flora. Fight new enemy types, bosses. Tame prehistoric animals, pets, explore the depths of the sea, conquer dungeons and visit different dimensions!
Take on new quests, both personal and official - accomplishing new goals & objectives and never get bored with the vast endless new content!
Mods
Performance: Uses the "Optimalsation" modpack as a baseline which is the fastest performing modpack avalible for Minecraft!
Exploration: Mods that tweak existing terrain, biomes, etc, and mods that add new biomes itself - along with mods that add new structures to the game. This makes exploration way more interesting
Combat: Mods that add new dungeons and mobs, giving you new challenges to face, along with mods that tweak existing mobs to be more difficult along with adding unique bosses that can pose a serious challenge but offer worthwhile rewards!
QoL: Mods that make minecraft more user friendly, accessible and enjoyable like more intuitive keybinds, mouse handling, & much more
Disclaimer
I include my own "Options.txt" file in order to ensure the resource packs are applied by default and in the correct order. However this file also copies all my other settings from FOV, keybinds, sensitivity, etc, so be sure to tweak things to your own preference because some of them will be different from vanilla

Frequently Asked Questions
HyCraft server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong quilt 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 HyCraft 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 HyCraft without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) 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.
HyCraft 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.
