Note: There will be a disclaimer that FancyMenu System Interactions Addon is installed on your first open most likely. It's only there to suppliment the extra installation process of the missing mods not in modrinth (where it'll just open the mods folder of the pack, that is all).

This modpack requires some mods that are exclusively on CurseForge, if you open the game without them, there will be a menu that will assist in installing them, otherwise here are the links for download:
FTB Filter System,
FTB Xmod Compat,
FTB Library,

Frequently Asked Questions

Skipper's Venture server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge 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 Skipper's Venture server really need?

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 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 €8/month).

Can I add custom mods to Skipper's Venture without conflicts?

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

Skipper's Venture 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.
