About this Modpack

Do you feel that Vanilla just isn't as fun as it once was? Do you have that urge to play, but you quit within minutes? Is it just not the same anymore?

I made a mod pack to capture the feeling of discovering Minecraft again, where it's your first night again. Making Minecraft more immersive and beautiful was the goal.

This mod pack is both performance and QOL heavy.

Due to all the extra mods to make the game feel more modern and alive, this also includes pretty much every mod I could find to improve performance, along with a lot of QoL/Bug fixes and tweaks that veterans and newbies would like.

This is my first mod pack, and as issues arise, I will be updating it semi-frequently.

FAQ

Q. Is this mod compatible with vanilla servers?

  • A. 99% of them will work on servers with a few exceptions like the tabs feature on Inventory Profiles Next(disabled by default), etc.

Q. Why is there so much bloat?

  • A. It's a mix of QOL and performance, and really, if you're looking for performance, just install Sodium and Lithium. (Or download a performance focused pack) They do about 80-90% of the work on their own. Everything else is just a bigger number contest.

Q. Can I share this mod pack?

  • A. By all means! Just add a link back to this page. Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

VanillaPlusPlus server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong quilt 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 VanillaPlusPlus 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 VanillaPlusPlus without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) and same Minecraft version (1.21.1). 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.

VanillaPlusPlus 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.
