Better Skin Utils officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.16.5. 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 Skin Utils – how to optimize performance?

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