About this Modpack

MacCraft provides a solid foundation of the best optimization mods available, carefully configured for maximum performance on macOS. Backed by extensive testing and research, MacCraft runs smoothly on both Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs.

Built with simplicity and maintainability in mind, it includes only essential quality-of-life and visual enhancements—keeping things lightweight, fast, and focused on performance. This also means it's quick to recieve Minecraft version updates.

The modpack includes the Iris Shaders Mod and supports shaders, though you'll have to check for MacOS/ Metal compatibility on the shaderpack that you want to use. (This limitation is because Apple discontinued support for OpenGL on MacOS with OpenGL 4.1 in 2011.) This modpack includes Mellow Shaders by TheCMK which runs well on MacOS and provides a nice balance between visuals and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

MacCraft 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 MacCraft 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 MacCraft 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.

MacCraft 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.
