About this Modpack

Nightmare title

note:
If you notice that the modpack's performance is poor, I recommend desable Punchy, I may help.

The premise of this modpack is that the longer you spend in the game, new monsters will appear, and not only that, but their health and damage will increase in some cases. There are also random events in the world.

How does it work?

Basically, there is a one-day grace period. Once that day has passed, the difficulty counter starts to increase as the days go by, reaching a maximum of 150. However, you can change the maximum difficulty and grace period when creating a new world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nightmare Rising server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge 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 Nightmare Rising 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 Nightmare Rising without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) 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.

Nightmare Rising 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.
