About this Modpack

Vanillative

Ambience that makes your world that much more alive, and QoL that just makes sense.
- Versions 1 up to 1.2 includes Terralith and Nullscape, with no nether modficiations;
- Version 1.3 is meant for forever worlds: it removes all Worldgen changes, and you can safely remove Vanillative from a 1.3 world and upgrade to vanilla.
Is fully compatible with Vanilla; Vanilla clients can connect to Vanillative servers, and vice versa.
Based on Additive, which means better-than-OptiFine features and performance.
Features World Host and Plasmo Voice for easy multiplayer and voice chats.
- Note World Host is not yet available for 1.21.8.
Contains no data-pack-y features.

TL;DR: it is not really about what Vanillative is doing, it's more about what it's not doing: interfering with your gameplay. Vanillative only includes QoL features to make it the easiest it can possibly be for you to run your own server with friends.

Special thanks to Devin for maintaining Additive, and to Lukebemish for helping me figure out the Modrinth API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vanillative 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 Vanillative 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 Vanillative without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). 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.

Vanillative 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.
