CaveBiomeAPI server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is CaveBiomeAPI compatible with fabric and forge?
CaveBiomeAPI officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 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 CaveBiomeAPI – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CaveBiomeAPI consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
