About this Modpack
Welcome! This is the initial release of The ShadyBunch SMP Pack! This will be a periodically, seasonally, updated modpack that will focus on primarily providing content, support, and flavor for The ShadyBunch Content SMP.
This modpack was made with LOVE! for all of the shady bunch members. However, anyone is free to download and try the pack out. There are well over 200 mods in this modpack ranging from world exploration to the end dimension being reimagined all together. Find a beat, stick to a rythmn and see where being shady will get you!
The pack has two primary focuses. The first is to encourage exploration organically through lore-based buildings, mod-driven exploration, and through resource-driven gathering/exploration.
The second focus is on Cobblemon and all of its integrations with the rest of the modpack.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ShadyBunch 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 10 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 The ShadyBunch server really need?
Minimum 6 GB, recommended 10 GB for stable performance. per 4 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 The ShadyBunch without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (neoforge) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). 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.
The ShadyBunch server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 10 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.
