About this Modpack
Nonno's Optimizations - Client-side performance booster
This pack is extremely basic. It solely focuses on making Minecraft run as fast as possible on low-end hardware with the least amount of resources. It is, of course, fully compatible with servers.
This pack was originally made for my friend in order to run the latest version of Minecraft on his laptop. It worked fine for him, I hope it could be of use to some other folks on the internet.

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 Nonno's Optimizations without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.10). 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.
