Optimized Cursedness
I have done the research to make your minecraft playing experience as painful as possible. (lord have mercy)
About this Modpack
If you experience motion sickness while playing this modpack, please stop and take a break!
A modpack designed to make gameplay as difficult and annoying as possible, while leaving the game technically still playable. All mods are semi-vanilla to allow for a direct plug-and-play experience, but are compatible with most popular mods (IE create/tech mods, worldgen mods, and origins).
The goal of this pack is to be either an extreme challenge, as even simple gameplay can be quite difficult, or as a fun joke modpack to give to your friends. I was inspired by "cursed difficulty" mods from Youtubers like Fundy and doctor4t, but I took it much farther.
I haven't seen any modpacks like this before, probably because nobody else wanted to go insane play-testing.
I currently have a $100 bounty on this pack to the first person to provide video proof of beating the pack without cheats.
When "Agony" is enabled, the game occasionally will crash during world generation, or when loading worlds. Relaunching the game clears any issues. Trying to add resource packs causes the game to inexplicably crash, so I guess don't do that.
Be aware that the game will also hard crash to desktop whenever you take any damage at all. That one is intentional.
Still not had enough? This pack includes the Crowd Control mod, so twitch chat can make your experience even worse! (highly encouraged)
Just so you know what you're getting into, here's a video of the modpack in action…
(Apparently YouTube decided to mess up my account so I will be making a new trailer video soon)
Thank you to everyone on Discord who suggested mods for this pack!
Extra-special shoutout to skycatminepokie for creating the mod that force-enables the narrator. Without your work this pack would not be complete

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 Optimized Cursedness without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
Optimized Cursedness 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.
