Frequently Asked Questions

Better Ore Smelting server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Better Ore Smelting officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Better Ore Smelting – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Better Ore Smelting consumes the most tick time.
