About this Modpack
Vanilla Tea is a vanilla minus modpack that turns Minecraft back into a sandbox game that encourages building and creativity. Hundreds of changes have been made to recipes, building blocks, loot, and more to provide a smooth and cohesive experience.
No End, No Villages — The End and Villages have been removed. Other parts of the game have been reworked with great care in order to fill the gaps they left behind, making gameplay feel more cohesive than before.
Hundreds of Recipe Tweaks — Acquiring resources to build with is now easier than ever before. New recipes for materials like copper, concrete, dyes, bricks, etc. allow more room for creativity than in Vanilla.

Texture Changes — No more ugly wood colors! Acacia, Jungle, Crimson, and Warped wood types have been given a fresh coat of paint to make them more versatile in building. Similarly, Dark Oak, Jungle, Crimson and Warped wood types have been renamed to Mahogany, Kapok, Wartwood, and Warpedwood respectively.
Debloating — Gone are the days of glistering melons and phantom membranes. Many items with only one use have been removed, and their functions have been relegated to other items. Some parts of world generation has also been changed to keep blocks like Copper and Granite abundant, but out of your way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vanilla Tea 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 Tea 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 Tea without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
Vanilla Tea 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.
