Frequently Asked Questions

Chat Icon API 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 (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Chat Icon API compatible with fabric?

Chat Icon API officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.16.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Chat Icon API – how to optimize performance?

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