A Minecraft mod for generating 3D fractals with a single command.

Command Usage
/fractal palettes
Prints the current block palettes as defined in fractal-palettes.json.

Generates a mandelbox fractal between loc1 and loc2 with a specified palette. Scale, which defaults to -3, significantly changes the generation of the fractal.

Generates a mandelbulb fractal between loc1 and loc2 with a specified palette using the quintic formula. A, B, C and D are constants that effect the generation of the fractal.

Fractal server crashes on startup – what to do?

Fractal officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.17. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Fractal – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Fractal consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
