Refugium
Basic Modpack for the Refugium Servers
About this Modpack
This modpack was created to help players connect quickly and easily to the Refugium Minecraft servers. Whether you're participating in long-term community worlds, roleplay-driven events, or creative survival challenges, this pack removes the technical barriers and lets you jump straight into the experience.
All included mods are strictly client-side, meaning they won’t affect server gameplay or provide unfair advantages — they simply improve your performance, visuals, and comfort while playing. There’s no manual setup required: just install with the Modrinth launcher, launch Minecraft, and you’re ready to go.
We highly recommend this pack for all players who want the best possible experience on our servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Refugium 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 Refugium 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 Refugium 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.
Refugium 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
