About this Modpack

A How to Train Your Dragon modpack that now uses Book of Dragons

I plan to make a complete new dragon mod, so hold your dragons!

This modpack adds QOL mods, biome generation mods, shaders, Essential's social menu, new animals, villagers, and ways to sleep! This modpack is made with the intention for players to be able to feel like they are in HTTYD, so there are added dungeons, and structures to explore! Because of these optimization mods, you will be able to explore and fly without fail! There is also Voice Chat included, so your friends can have fun with the proximity chat!

Disclaimer, if your world doesn't create, increase your memory allocation in modrinth's
settings.

Older versions below version 5 use Isle of Berk and Archipelago Additions, so please consult the wiki accordingly.

For users of version 5 and up,

DRAGON RIDERS BEWARE!!! Please change the Carry On keybind, as shift is used for taming.

This mod uses Towns and Towers. Please go support them at https://modrinth.com/mod/towns-and-towers

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong forge 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 Vikings 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 Vikings without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) 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.

Vikings 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.
