Project Rek
This modpack was made for the enjoyment of me and my group but I've decided to make it public! This modpack will prove to be extremely difficult considering the shared life and very intelligent zombies!

About this Modpack
This modpack is likely one of the most difficult multiplayer survival modpacks out there! It features shared health aswell as progressive difficulty as the days go on.
Zombies
The zombies in this modpack are not fun whatesoever, they can mine, build, jump towards you, see you from further away, most of them can sprint, and they don't burn in the daytime! These zombies can spawn in hordes and may also have items to grant them abilities such as tnt, fishing rods, enderpearls, and more! If any player dies to a zombie in this modpack, they and everyone else's player will be turned into a zombie containing all their items. Player zombies will not despawn so be careful! There is still one brightside to all this, there's no baby zombies!
Generation
As far as world generation goes, I've implemented Biomes O' Plenty, Biome Makeover, Towns, and Towers, aswell as alot more to make the wolrd less vanilla!

Performance
Performance enhancing mods are included so everyone can generate worlds faster, run the game smoother, and simply overall reduce the risk of crashing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Project Rek 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 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.

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 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 €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Project Rek 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.
Project Rek 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.
