Frequently Asked Questions

Chainmail Recipe 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 (1.21.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Chainmail Recipe compatible with datapack and fabric and forge?

Chainmail Recipe officially supports datapack, fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21, 1.20.6. 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 Chainmail Recipe – how to optimize performance?
