About this Modpack
Heres what The Clients does!
The Clients trys to have the best client side mods you can play on any server or client while not changing any vanilla mechanics, only improving the vanilla experience. The Features are shaders, fullbright, custom capes, a better F3 menu, better looking clouds, a lot of optimization features, dynamic lighting, 3D skin layers, letting you see light levels, zooming, a minimap, and much more! Thank you to Shulkercraft for making a video to inspire this modpack (make sure to subscribe to his channel). Also the Icon was inspired by Modmenu's banner, so thank you to Modmenu.

How to Set Up a The Clients Server
Order Server
Choose at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended for The Clients). Based on player count: per 8 players.
Install Modpack in Dashboard
Open the modpack browser in the dashboard, search for "The Clients" and click "Install". The fabric loader and Minecraft 1.21.8 are configured automatically.
Start Server & Play
Start the server – all mods are loaded automatically. Share the server IP with friends and play together!
Frequently Asked Questions
The Clients 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 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 The Clients server really need?
Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 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 The Clients without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.8). 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.
The Clients 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.
