Petrichor
A simple, techy QOL client side minecraft modpack
About this Modpack
Petrichor is a simple, techy, client side only QOL minecraft modpack.
Petrichors aim is a better vanilla (content wise) minecraft client experience especially in the more "techy" areas like NBT handling (note as this pack is still in beta and i found a licensing issue most of the tech related features will have to wait until i implement them myself).
Petrichor also aims for full optifine resource pack and shader pack parity.
Features
Curently Petrichor supports shaders, (hopefully) full optifine resource pack format parity, minihud hud tweaks and schematics
Installation
You can install Petrichor using anything that accepts modrinth packs (you can also export it to a curseforge format using packwiz if needed). Personally i use Prismlauncher.
NOTE! If you want the basic connected textures (glass, sandstone etc) be sure to enable the bundled resourcepack(s) from Continuity

Frequently Asked Questions
Petrichor 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 Petrichor 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 Petrichor without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.19.2). 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.
Petrichor 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.
