Potato Juice
Uses Vulkanmod and performs better than sodium. No shader support yet and is not compatible with sodium.
About this Modpack
Potato Juice is an extremely good optimizer. It will bring your potato back from the dead. Got consistently over 150 fps with 8 chunk render and sim distance on 1080p resolution. Benchmarked on intel core i5 7360u dual core. I also tested it on an old laptop from 2013 with 4 Gb of ddr3 Ram. It got consistently over 70 fps. I recommend allocating 4 Gb to this modpack if you have the ram capacity but 2 should still be fine if you only have 4 gb on your pc. It also includes features like zoom and easy multiplayer with friends on a world without the need for hosting a server, playing on a multiplayer server, or port forwarding.
NOTE: There are github projects in development working to make sodium compatible with Vulkanmod. I will add them when they become available. Hopefully shader support will become available for Vulkanmod in the future, but I have no idea when that will be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Potato Juice 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 Potato Juice 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 Potato Juice without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.4). 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 Juice 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.
