About this Modpack

MC but Better attempts to give you a better Minecraft experience with tons of quality of life features, like shaders, zooming, higher gamma, playing with friends, having more blocks to build with, fully custom world generation, new biomes, new structures, and so much more!

Downloading Vanilla Tweaks

What is Vanilla Tweaks?

Vanilla Tweaks is a collection of resource packs that lets you choose the changes you want to make to your game, most of these features are quality of life and bug fixes, there are a variety of changes to be made to your game like makes ores have borders and much more.

How To Download Vanilla Tweaks!

Vanilla Tweaks is not in MC but Better by default because its's not on modrinth to Download Vanilla Tweaks Visit the site vanillatweaks.net
and pick the changes you want to be made! Alternatively you can use the mod VTdownloader To Download a Vanilla Tweaks Resource Pack Directly ingame, just press the Download VT Resource Pack Button to download a pack and from there you can choose the changes you want to be made (VTDownloader is in MC But Better by default). But I recommend to just download it manully.

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 8 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.

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 MC but Better without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.8). 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.

MC but Better server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 8 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.
