Features

Visual & Feature Enhancements

Photogenetic modifies Minecraft's appearance and adds features using client-side enhancements. Designed to work on any vanilla server, it includes:

  • Dual Pre-Configured Shaders: Includes two configured shader packs based on Complimentary Shaders, set up for immediate use:
    • One setup for Ray-Tracing, enabling ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections. (Complimentary with Euphoria patches)
    • One Non-Ray Traced version providing shader effects with higher performance compared to the ray-tracing option. (Rethinking Voxels)
  • PBR Texture Support: Includes PBR resourcepacks for better textures, reflections and details on every block.
  • Enhanced Animations: Includes modifications for player and environmental animations.
  • Increased Render Distance: This modpack has DistantHorizons support, which is also shipped with the modpack.
  • UI Modifications: Includes changes to the user interface.
  • Quality of Life Utilities: Includes utilities such as an in-game screenshot viewer, a screenshot-to-clipboard function, camera zoom and much more.
  • Fully Optimized: Photogenetic is powered and built upon my modpack Velocity for optimization.

Client-Side & Compatibility

  • Purely Client-Side: Can be used to join any vanilla Minecraft server without server-side installation.
  • Mod Compatibility Note: While Photogenetic is designed as a client-sided modpack, compatibility with other mods is not guaranteed nor tested.
  • OLED Screen: The visual changes may appear more pronounced on OLED displays due to their contrast capabilities.

How to Set Up a Photogenetic Server

1

Order Server

2

Install Modpack in Dashboard

Open the modpack browser in the dashboard, search for "Photogenetic" and click "Install". The fabric loader and Minecraft 1.21.1 are configured automatically.

3

Start the server – all mods are loaded automatically. Share the server IP with friends and play together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Photogenetic 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 Photogenetic 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 Photogenetic without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). 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.

Photogenetic 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.
