About this Modpack

^ A modpack as simple as cobblestone! :)
Clean, focused vanilla+ experience built around Create & Quark.
No minimaps. No 1,000,000+ mechanics. Just pure building, automation, and cozy vibes.
Why this one?
I believe Minecraft is at its best when it stays simple.
That’s why this modpack revolves entirely around Create — the best engineering mod ever made — combined with Quark for gentle vanilla-friendly tweaks.
Everything else is carefully chosen to support Create without overwhelming you.
Recipe addons smooth out progression, decorative mods give you nice-looking blocks and furniture, and a handful of performance mods + Distant Horizons + Oculus shaders make the world look gorgeous while running buttery smooth.
That’s it. No bloat. No distractions. Just you and your contraptions.
✨ Core Features
- Create-first gameplay — all the fun of factories, trains, windmills and mechanical power without extra tech trees
- Quark QoL — the little things that should have been in vanilla (but better)
- Curated Create addons — only the ones that feel like natural extensions
- Recipe tweaks — smarter crafting paths so you spend more time building and less time grinding
- Cozy decoration — beautiful furniture, farming, chimneys and extra blocks that fit perfectly into Create factories
- Lightweight & optimized — runs great even on mid-range PCs
No minimap. No quest book. No 500 new dimensions.
Just Minecraft the way it was meant to be — with Create magic.

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 simple one 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 simple one 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.
