About this Modpack

What is Optidium?🔎

Optidium is a modpack that gives you high performance even on potato PCs. This is achieved by using performance mods such as the infamous sodium mod and immediatlyFast. This modpack favours performance rather than QoL. It features strong support for older versions of Minecraft like 1.19.4 and 1.18.2 with the most updated mods!

Why is it called Optidium? 🎇

Optidium is called Optidium because it uses Sodium and but uses features from OptiFine, such as the zoom feature and connected textures. Sodium often boosts performance better than OptiFine on most PCs as they use a much newer way to render objects which greatly improves frame rates and stuttering while fixing many graphical issues.

Does Optidium support shaders? 💡

Optidium does support shaders as it uses Iris. Iris uses a method known as Shadow Frustum Culling to reduce the cost of one of a shader's major performance limiters which is of course shadows, and this allows iris to run better than OptiFine's built in shaders on most PCs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Optidium 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 Optidium 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 Optidium without conflicts?

    Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.5). 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.

    Optidium 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.
