About this Modpack

Are you stuck in previous versions because you yearn for the old days?
Do you prefer the old, pre-1.13 textures?
Do you miss certain features, like the old combat system?

creeper and spider

If any or all of the above apply to you, his Modpack might be for you!
Coming with various remodels, retextures and complete overhauls of certain mobs and blocks to fit more with the old, rough looking but somewhat charming aestethic!

So Retro comes with various performance-enhancing mods as well as built-in controller support and on-the-fly skin swapping! No longer will you have to close the game to change your skin, like on legacy console edition.

For the legacy console players, the pack comes with a shader that makes your game resemble the beloved console edition even more. Though, be warned, it might impact performance.

-Known issues: Sculk Sensor Remodel culls the sides of the block it's next to, will fix by remodeling it yet again in an upcoming patch

Frequently Asked Questions

So Retro 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 So Retro 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 So Retro without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.4). 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.

So Retro 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.
