This is our attempt at creating a nice and pleasant Vanilla++ Experience with many opinionated changes to make it feel very comfortable and familiar.

Overhauled Biomes — Discover new surface biomes, along with cave biomes & cool features!
Deeper and Darker — Do you wonder what is beneath the bedrock? Maybe it's time to find out.
Custom Structures — Reimagined vanilla structures for the best experience !
Backpacks — Don't run out of inventory slots while you're out exploring!
New Animals — It looks like it’s time to build a zoo with new animals !
Ambient Sounds — Be surrounded by new sounds which will make everything feel so immersive!
More Blocks — Build your dream house using more block variations !
Photography — Capture memories with a functioning camera!
Expanded Farming and cooking — Cook new dishes and do farming-related things!
Expanded Archaeology — Dig into archaeology with new tools and items to uncover fossils !
Magic — Some lightweight magic elements that don't feel out of place !
Controller in mind — We want this to be as controller-friendly as possible! (WIP)

We want to bring all mods and additions together in a way that feels natural, and make it as straightforward as possible, so that new players have an easy time getting into modded MC!

This pack has been in the works for over 2 years (LOTS of procrastination), and I'm finally wanting to bring it to light to make it the gameplay experience I envisioned so long ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shenanigans 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 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 Shenanigans 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 Shenanigans without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.

Shenanigans 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.
