About this Modpack

A collaboration between 62 modders, as hosted by ModFest.
ModFest 1.16 was a mod development jam that ran from June 12th through June 25th, 2020.
This modpack contains all submissions, as well as a showcase world built by participants to show off their mods!
Key Features:
- Witness the dawn of 42 mods, including Glowcase, Astromine, Haema, and Heart of the Machine!
- Explore sprawling vanilla terrain with mod "booths" scattered near, far, and very far!
- Cycle on bike trails and around a map covered in light bridges, named locations, and floating text!
- Hop between any booth at will using the mod hub!
- Get hopelessly lost!

Anyone seen my bike? no?... have fun!
ModFest is made possible by the modding community.
A full list of credits for each submitted mod can be found on the submissions page.
This modpack and world was originally showcased on a multiplayer server in the summer of 2020.

Frequently Asked Questions
ModFest 1.16 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 ModFest 1.16 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 ModFest 1.16 without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.16.1). 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.
ModFest 1.16 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
