This modpack is designed for your potato so you don't have to watch a slide show.
About this Modpack
Vanilla Minecraft slow? Download this. Features many optimization mods and is vanilla-like. Shaders not included. Some bugs are fixed, so if you frequently utilize bugs, be warned.
If you're looking for raw performance, don't look to the forge and neoforge versions, while they have optimization mods, they mainly just exist to allow further compatibility. If you just want the vanilla experience, and don't plan on using exclusive mods, use the fabric version.
I plan to have the forge version of this mod be more legacy, if you think old is gold, you'll want the forge version, it supports older versions of minecraft. If you prefer rolling release and like sticking to super new versions, I'd reccomend fabric version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Potato 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 Potato 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 Potato without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). 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.
Potato 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.
