About this Modpack

Makes your world more reactive.

Main Features


Why add this?

I see Minecraft as a static game. Nothing happens without your intervention. This isn't bad, but sometimes I want to feel as if I am a part of the world and not the other way around. These mods make the world react and retaliate to your actions. If you aren't careful while mining you might cause a cave-in, and while you are being crushed by blocks your crops will still grow. You might notice some ore on the ceiling of the cave, but what you didn't notice was the dripping water. Oops... now you're stuck drowning in a pitch black cave you accidentally flooded. Meanwhile over at your base, your puppy grew up. Everything you do has a reaction, borderline retaliation, from the world.


Highlights

The amazing mod Simple Clouds by nonamecrackers2 adds local weather. This has the cool side effect of making scenarios where you can hear a thunderstorm rolling in.

The combination of Simple Block Physics, Flowing Fluids and True Darkness makes cave exploration terrifying. The risk of causing a cave-in plus flood leaving you in complete darkness adds a nice thrill to cave exploration.

Building is way more of a challenge. You actually have to think about structural integrity and the order you build things. Can't have a roof without supporting walls.


Notes

  • Shaders don't work with this modpack.
  • I recommend adding some ambience and rain improving mods.
  • When starting a server make sure to disable collapse in the physics mod config and remove the True Darkness mod from the server

Frequently Asked Questions

Physicality server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge 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 Physicality 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 Physicality without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) 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.

Physicality 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.
