About this Modpack

📃 Vanilla Client Side

A performance-first, information-rich client pack for Paper & vanilla servers


🌟 Why this pack exists

Most “FPS + visuals” packs chase eye-candy shaders.
Vanilla Paper Edition has a different target audience:

❶ Keep the frames high (Sodium, Lithium, etc.)
❷ Show more useful data (food saturation, tool durability, redstone power, light levels…)
❸ Stay visually vanilla — just clearer GUIs & icons, no cinematic post-processing.

It started while speed-running redstone builds on public Paper servers where shaders are pointless but extra on-screen info is gold.


🔑 What’s inside & why

Theme Key components What you’ll see in-game
Smooth FPS Sodium + Indium, Lithium, Starlight, FerriteCore 2-3 × higher average frames and faster world joins.

⚠️ Server-policy notes

Mod What it changes Possible rule conflicts
BactroMod Full-bright gamma, hides fog, fire & pumpkin overlay Some PvP/adventure servers ban full-bright & no-fog — toggle these off if disallowed.
Xaero’s Minimap / World Map Entity radar & cave mode If minimaps are restricted, switch to Xaero’s Minimap – Fair-Play Edition (no entity/cave radar).

When in doubt, ask staff or disable the features from the in-game config.


💬 Philosophy

  • Performance first – every addition is benchmarked; anything costing >≈5 FPS is culled.
  • Information over decoration – clearer textures & GUIs, not cinematic shaders.
  • Server friendly – no cheats, x-ray or automation helpers; just clarity and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vanilla Client Side 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 Client Side 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 Client Side without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.4). 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 Client Side 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.
