Shaderless
Lightweight OpenGL optimization focused on maximum FPS without too many mods.
About this Modpack
Shaderless
Maximum FPS, zero lag. Shaderless strips away the visual overhead and gives you raw, optimized performance for Minecraft 1.21.11. Built on the latest Fabric loader with aggressive culling, memory optimization, and rendering improvements that actually work.
Two flavors, pick your poison:
Main (The Starterpack)
Joining an SMP? This is your go-to. Everything you need for multiplayer survival right out of the box, including Simple Voice Chat for proximity chat, Bobby for extended render distance without the lag, Zoomify for scoped spotting, Auto-Reauth to keep you logged in, Flashback for recording those clutch moments, and Fabrishot for bigger resolution screenshots plus Screencopy for instant screenshot sharing. All the optimization mods are here too, obviously.
Minimal (Compact Build)
Pure performance, no extras. Just the core optimization stack stripped down to the essentials. Perfect for low-end hardware, background instances, or when you just want Minecraft to run like butter without any additional features eating RAM. No Voice Chat, no recording tools, no screenshot utilities, just frames.
Under the hood:
Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ImmediatelyFast, Krypton, and a full suite of culling and micro-optimizations handle the heavy lifting. Required libraries (Architectury, Cloth Config, Fabric API, YACL, etc.) are bundled so everything just works.
More Minecraft versions coming soon. Download Main if you aren't sure which to pick.

Shaderless 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 Shaderless 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 Shaderless 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.
Shaderless 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.
