About this Modpack

Vanilla Nu

This is a modpack started as a project for making the server running smoother while still compatible with vanilla players, since I will be mainly using the vanilla server as a way to teach my friend how to play the game. This mod pack works as a client side enhancement as well, and both the client side and the server side is compatible with vanilla client and server. Modrinth just currently got a bug where I can't change it back.

Requirement(s)

Licenses

It is included in the modpack's LICENSES file, at least for most of the mods, attributions should have been done correctly. However, I am still in the process of combing through the rest of them to get the licensing right. Please forgive my tardiness as I am but a single man with multiple projects and very short attention span.

To do

  • Text Placeholder API by Patbox, ScalableLux by RelativityMC, Iris Shaders by coderbot, Cloth Config API by shedaniel, and Lithium by CaffeineMC are licensed under LGPL-3.0-only, will need to check what needs to be done about it
    • LGPL-3.0-only needs me to attach the license like MIT does, and also requires you to use the same license if you are making a library, which I am not
  • Inventory Profiles Next by mirinimi (or blackd?), libIPN by mirinimi (or blackd?) uses AGPL-3.0-or-later, which again, will be on my todo list
    • AGPL-3.0-or-later needs me to attach the license like MIT does, and also requires you to use the same license if you are making a derivative work, which ince again, I am not
  • More Culling by fxmorin is licensed under GPL-3.0-only, will need to check what needs to be done about it
  • Sodium by CaffeinMC uses PolyForm Shield License 1.0.0, which again, will be on my todo list
  • Add zooming to client side mods if possible (Zoomify?)
  • See if there is any way to sync the map mod with server
  • Create a new discord app following this guide to get a unique pack name and images
  • Get a clear glass resource pack and figure out how to set it to server resource pack
  • Maybe add Presence Footsteps for better immmersive gameplay

Frequently Asked Questions

Vanilla Nu 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 Nu 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 Nu without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.5). 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 Nu 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.
