About this Mod

Better Spikes

A mod for Minecraft Better than Adventure v7.2_01 that changes the spike trap to behave more like modern Minecraft's magma block.

Changes:

-Any entity standing stationary on a spike trap will now continue to take damage.

-Crouching on a spike trap (once you are no longer stuck on it) will negate all damage

These changes make the spike trap much more reliable for mob farms.

Frequently Asked Questions

BetterSpikes 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 (b1.7.3). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is BetterSpikes compatible with fabric?

BetterSpikes officially supports fabric for Minecraft b1.7.3. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with BetterSpikes – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BetterSpikes 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.
