About this Modpack
A Vanilla+ modpack for 1.21.1, bringing improved performance, terrain generation, aesthetics, and many useful utilities!
With Terralith and Tectonic, terrain generation is vastly improved! Explore the world with a few bits and bobs from Dungeons and Taverns! With Distant Horizons, you can see the beautiful terrain and structures! This is further improved by Complementary Shaders! Truly, the most beautiful way to see Minecraft.
But that's not all! Performance mods like Sodium (for rendering) and Lithium (for game logic) bring your FPS to new heights! Maybe enough to counter the effects of Distant Horizons and Shaders??
Finally, I have included resource packs from Vanilla Tweaks! These include:
- More Zombies
- Various Retro MC Resources
- Unobtrusive Utilities
- Various Aesthetics (mostly my personal preferences)
- Some 3D Textures
- Consistency and General Fixes
Vanilla Incompatibility
Most mods in this pack were chosen to be compatible with Vanilla clients. However, one major choice prevented compatibility - that being Vanilla Backport, which brings features from 1.21.4 and 1.21.8 to 1.21.1 (namely, The Garden Awakens and Chase the Skies). Due to this major compatibility breaker, I added a few more non-compatible mods:
- Fast Paintings
- Staaaaaaaaaaaack (Stxck)
- Trash Slot
Besides those listed, all mods should work with Vanilla clients. Feel free to remove the incompatible mods and use on a server :)

Frequently Asked Questions
Vanilluxe 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 8 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 Vanilluxe server really need?
Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 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 €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to Vanilluxe without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
Vanilluxe server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 8 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.
