Installing Legacy4Server on a server
This is the general guide for installation.
📦 Install using mrpack-install
Download mrpack-install through GitHub releases (or your distro's package if it has one) and take a look at the commands on the README. In Legacy4Server's case, to install in your server you would run:
mrpack-install Legacy4Server [optional version number]
🐋 Install using Docker Compose
It's a good idea to have some knowledge on using Docker before doing this.
- Make sure you have Docker Engine installed properly according to the Docker docs
- Create a new directory
- Place the contents below in a file called
docker-compose.yml. This Compose file also contains some other server tweaks meant for performance, such as disablingsync-chunk-writes, reducing render and simulation distance, and more - Run
docker compose up -din that directory
For any other information, you can read through the Docker Minecraft Server documentation.

✨ Install using mcman
mcman is a tool for managing the mods/plugins/configurations of a Minecraft server. First, install mcman from releases. To import Legacy4Server while initializing a server, use this command:
mcman init --mrpack mr:legacy4server
After initializing and importing the mrpack, run mcman build to build the server into the server/ directory, from which you can call cd server && sh start.sh or cd server && call start.bat. For more information, check out mcman's docs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Legacy4Server 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 Legacy4Server 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 Legacy4Server without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (26.1.2). 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.
Legacy4Server 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.
