About this Modpack
SMP Mods
This is the server pack for SMP Mods, a group of mod packs made to enhance the SMP experience and make it more enjoyable.
This pack is built upon the mods in the Hermitcraft server with a few additional mods and added features.
Features of the SMP Mods
- Simple Voice Chat: Adds proximity chat to Minecraft.
- Audio Player: Allows you to add custom discs and horns using Simple VC.
- Status: A mod that allows you to set your status.

- Vanilla Tweaks Datapacks: Check out the datapacks.
- Vanilla Tweaks Craft Tweaks: Check out the craft tweaks.
- Performance Mods: I also added some performance mods.
Players can still join without the client pack, but the features added by the server pack won't work without it. So, you should probably have your players install it: SMP Mods Client.

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.

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 SMP Mods Server without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.4). 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.
