About This PAK
SquirrelPAK 1201 is the culmination of our Let's Play MC20 in 2024. We took all the best mods we played through and tried to keep the mod count low. Each SquirrelPAK has the following formula. Client Side Life Improvement mods + Map Mod + Vanilla Plus Mods + Builders Blocks Mod + Early & Late game Storage Mods + Early & Late game Energy Mods + Med/High Tech Mods + Server Tools and favorite mods that the SquirrelFam loves.

Frequently Asked Questions
SquirrelPAK 1201 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 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 SquirrelPAK 1201 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 SquirrelPAK 1201 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.
SquirrelPAK 1201 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.
