SetGlintto force enchantment glint to be enabled or disabled. - Lightning bolts may now contain the NBT tag
PreserveItemsto prevent them from destroying ground items.
It also adds the following powers / actions / conditions to origins:
astral:modify_scale, which is used to control the size, motion, and reach of a player.astral:repeat, which allows any action to be repeated multiple times.astral:moon_phase, which checks the current phase of the moon.astral:distance, which checks the entity's distance from a position (because the Origins implementation crashes our server lol).
Astral also adds the following content:
- Dyed amethyst blocks and clusters.
- A "randomizer" redstone block, which, when powered, outputs a random comparator signal.
- Cloud fluff and cotton, as well as cotton candy.
- A set of dye-able armor that gives either jump boost or slowness depending on how wet it is.
- A mirror (used in one of the server's origins).
- A data-driven currency system with random rewards and automatic item exchanging.
- A number of custom item models.

Astral server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric 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.
Is Astral compatible with fabric?
Astral officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Astral – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Astral 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.
