With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

Can I add custom mods to Realism Refreshed 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.
