Disclaimer:
This mod works best on 6GBs of dedicated RAM!
I cannot guarantee this modpack will run on older devices, right now i run the modpack without shaders at around 100fps in an area with plenty of machines with 24 chunks render distance, i currently have a ryzen 5 3600 CPU and a RTX 3060 GPU.

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 Joy of Playing without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) 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.
