About this Modpack

inspired by the modpack Fabulously Optimised.

LegacyOptimised

it says it on the tin :3

this pack is designed for laptops with early 2010s era processors and integrated graphics. it's designed to noticeably improve performance, as vanilla can (and often) runs poorly, even with the settings turned down.

Iris wasn't included but you may download it if you wish. this is typically because usually most hardware as old as these can't run lightweight shaders well, if at all.

Disclaimer

keep in mind you may need to change the settings to work best with your own hardware. however my own hardware (below) is an example of how it should ideally run.

Hardware example

vanilla Java Edition on 1.21.10 typically ran below 30 FPS, even below 20 FPS in many cases for my hardware. however it ran noticeably smoother with the modpack.
as such, this has been tested on a HP Elitebook 820 G1 with an Intel Core i7-4600U and Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics, running Debian with LXDE. it ran between ~70 and ~100 fps in a singleplayer survival world in 1280x720 fullscreen for this setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

LegacyOptimised 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 LegacyOptimised 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 LegacyOptimised 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.

LegacyOptimised 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.
