About this Modpack
A somewhat simple modpack for someone who wants ocean adventures but nothing too crazy :3 This modpack intends to create a fun mermaid experience, without being too jarring if you're used to vanilla!
When you start your playthrough, pick the "merling" origin, and find water as quickly as you can! If you'd like to customize your tail, you can use a sea necklace! You should be given one right away, but if not, you can attain them with both crafting and creative! To add some personality to your tail, you can customize it with gradients, dyes, and more! Mermod's wiki is helpful if you want a better idea of how to do this. You can place this in the necklace slot, which you can find from hovering over where you'd put a chestplate. From there, find an ocean and start exploring!

Frequently Asked Questions
Mercraft 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 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.
How much RAM does a Mercraft server really need?
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 Mercraft without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). 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.
Mercraft 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.
