Frequently Asked Questions

Canopy server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Canopy compatible with fabric?

Server lagging with Canopy – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Canopy consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
