MacReady
The ultimate optimization modpack built for Mac.
About this Modpack
I highly recommend using Prism Launcher, since it has the native ARM64 build of Minecraft. The game will run much better. (If you have an ARM64 machine)
Are you not satisfied with the performance of Minecraft on your Mac? Well, then this mod is for you!
Why download?
If you've ever played Java Edition without mods, you probably know the pain of having low FPS and stutters. Well, this modpack is made to fix that! It includes all kinds of mods, from optimization to quality of life, plus it doesn't affect the vanilla gameplay!
Here are some of the features:
Performance
This modpack includes some essential optimization mods like Sodium and Lithium.
Also, there are mods to optimize the chunk gen, like C2M and fast noise.
Shaders
Of course there's Iris, so you can run shaders. Matter of fact, a few are included!
From personal experience, I recommend using Miniature Shader.
Battery saving
Mods like Dynamic FPS and FPS Reducer will help you save battery when AFK or doing anything other than Minecraft.
Other Quality of Life mods
Reese's Sodium Options and Sodium Extra are included. I highly recommend to turn on the Reduce resolution on macOS setting (in the Sodium Extra tab), since Retina displays have a really good resolution that you most likely won't need for Minecraft.
Voxy is included too, if you like really big render distances.
There are more mods, but there's simply too many to name them all.
Compatibility
Yes, this mod should work on basically every machine (that can run Java Edition).
I don't know why you would download a mod advertised for Mac on Windows, but no one's stopping you.

Frequently Asked Questions
MacReady 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 MacReady 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 MacReady 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.
MacReady 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.
