About this Modpack
Info
Vanilla focussed is a modpack aimed at keeping your game as vanilla as possible while increasing not just performance but your quality of life with an amazing selection of mods.
About
So why did I make this when there's tons of modpacks out there already doing the same thing? Well I believe that I know what people like me want. We love vanilla Minecraft but hate some of the things about the game. I set out to look for the best mods that didn't take away from vanilla game we all love.
Performace
Specs: GPU: 3080ti CPU: i12700k
Tests taken at 32 render distance with all settings on max quality with resolution at 1440p.
This is how the test was taken.
Base game. No mods (Only MiniHUD and Mod Menu)
Vanilla Focussed (No Nvidium)
Vanilla Focussed (With Nvidium)
So how come there's 2 seperate tests on the modpack? Well Nvidium is an amazing mod that "uses mesh shaders, a near fully gpu driven rendering pipeline is used, enabling very fast and performant geometry culling of terrain meaning your gpu can work much more efficiently." However this mod is optional as only certain systems can utilize it. This was taken off their page which you can visit using the link.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vanilla Focussed 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 Vanilla Focussed 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 Vanilla Focussed 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.
Vanilla Focussed 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.
