About this Modpack
Snowbound is a fork of macaroni0423's Frozen Land Modpack, building upon its foundation with additional tweaks and fixes.
Features
- Early-Game Adjustments - Dying early on in an attempt to make a base can be very punishing and frustrating, especially for new players. Upon spawning, you are now placed in a village and equipped with leather boots.
- Player Graves + Recall Mirror - These additions have been implemented as a way to cut down on item loss.
- More Structures - Giving each dimension more flair
- Combat Balancing - Bamboo Spears were causing a lot of issues as they were easily the strongest and cheapest weapon in the game. And thus, they are not present in this version (along with some other weapons).
- Performance + Stability Improvements - Unused mods have been removed and some new ones have been added to further boost the performance.
- General Fixes - Day/Night Cycles are functional now; torches no longer kill you in crammed areas + other small things.
- And more!
❗Migrating from Frozen Land❗
Please note that if you decide to switch to my version of the modpack, you may lose some of your items (albeit nothing too important). Proceed at your own risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Snowbound 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.

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 Snowbound 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.
Snowbound 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.
