Even more cursed... these are just mere things in the modpack

It watches his prey before killing it...

About this Modpack

You thought Minecraft was safe.
You were wrong.

The Descent is not just a modpack—it's a slow unraveling of your sanity. Designed for those who crave dread, suspense, and the constant feeling of being watched, this psychological horror experience will pull you deep into a world where the familiar turns hostile, and reality fractures at the seams.

Your sanity that deteriorates with each disturbing encounter

Distorted environments and shifting soundscapes that mess with your mind

Cursed dimensions that defy logic and tempt you to explore

Entities that don’t just chase you—they remember you

Environmental storytelling that leaves clues… or misleads you

Every session feels different. Every sound could be real—or not.
You're not just surviving anymore. You're descending... :]

Warning: Not for the faint of heart. Play with headphones. Preferably alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Descent 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 The Descent 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 The Descent 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.

The Descent 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.
