This modpack tries to optimize Minecraft by using some optimized mods,while adding some utility mods.

In version 1.8.9, you can use features that enhance the PVP experience,
such as CPS display and status effect display,
as well as features that improve the multiplayer experience,
such as chat translation.
There are also mods that improve the vanilla game experience,
such as Xaero's Minimap and What Am I Looking At.

No mods that change the gameplay have been added,so it can be joined to any vanilla server.

It's enjoyable for me to make a modpack.I hope you enjoy it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smooth Journey Forge 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 Smooth Journey Forge 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 Smooth Journey Forge without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.8.9). 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.

Smooth Journey Forge 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. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
