About this Mod

Anomaly Zone brings the atmosphere of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. into Minecraft. Explore two anomalous biomes — a Bio Zone and a Thermo Zone — each with its own contamination mechanic that builds up the longer you stay. Survive recurring Emissions, hunt down artifacts with a set of detectors, and wear them as trinkets via Curios for a mix of buffs and drawbacks. Upgrade your artifacts at the sharpening bench using energy from anomalous batteries and essences to boost your odds, with a pity bonus kicking in after repeated failures. Suit up in a full scientific armor set built for life in the Zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anomaly Zone server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Anomaly Zone – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Anomaly Zone consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
