Rising Darkness
A Horror modpack for NeoForge 1.20.1 with magic mods to help you fight the Horrors. Welcome to Fear :)
About this Modpack
Rising Darkness is a totally normal sandbox horror modpack with nothing wrong at all. A happy time for all! Don't stare too long at the darkness as it may make you unhappy. :)
Rising Darkness contains a variety of Horror mods with a sprinkle of magic mods to help you fight back at the horrors. You can play the pack alone if you dare. Or live in fear with your friends with your own server. You can also join the official dedicated server with the menu button and find other people prepared to face their fears.
For the best experience I recommend using the included Spooklementary Shaders!
Includes mods like:
- Embers Rekindled
- Ars Nouveau
- Blood Magic
- Mahou Tsukai
- Waystones
- Mystical Agriculture
- Functional Storage
And much more!
Also includes a dedicated server!

Frequently Asked Questions
Rising Darkness server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong neoforge 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 Rising Darkness 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 Rising Darkness without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) 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.
Rising Darkness 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
