About this Modpack
Nimbus - An Optimization Pack
!!! NOTICE !!!
As of 30th July 2024, I have made the decision to discontinue the Nimbus project indefinitely. Reasoning will be provided in due course.
Welcome to the official Modrinth page for Nimbus, my new Optimization Pack, now on 1.20.4!
Based on Fabric (Formerly Quilt), Nimbus is an Optimization Pack which aims to provide you with a significantly faster and better Minecraft experience, compared to that of Vanilla Minecraft. This is done through the inclusion of a number of mods which improve a great variety of aspects about the game, the most significant of which include:
- Sodium, which provides a modern rendering engine for Minecraft, greatly improving performance while fixing graphical issues.
- Entity Culling, which takes advantage of async path-tracing to hide Blocks and/or Entities that are not visible to the player.
- StutterFix, which modifies the way threads work with the aim of reducing stuttering when generating chunks.
Nimbus also doubles as a base modpack, meaning that you can also use it as a base modpack for your projects! All I ask is that you credit me and let me know that you are doing so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nimbus 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 Nimbus 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 Nimbus without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.4). 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.
Nimbus 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.
