CrossStitch
A Minecraft mod designed to improve Minecraft proxy compatibility
About this Mod
CrossStitch
CrossStitch is a Minecraft mod designed to improve Minecraft proxy compatibility with other Minecraft mods.
This mod is supported by the Velocity team and is developed against Velocity
and Fabric, but the principles used are intended to be generic enough to apply to any Minecraft proxy and to
any Minecraft modding platform. (Once we have modern Forge support in Velocity, for instance, we'll have a version
for Forge, for instance.)
Installation
CrossStitch needs to be installed on the Fabric server itself - Velocity supports CrossStitch as
of Velocity 1.1.2. CrossStitch does not require the Fabric API to be installed.
Once installed, make sure to only use Velocity to connect to your server, as CrossStitch isn't available
client-side - it's designed to work only with Velocity.
Why?
Mojang has been increasing the opportunities that mod developers have to add new content to the game.
Unfortunately, some of those improvements do conflict with traditional Minecraft proxies. CrossStitch
is our attempt to improve compatibility.
Features
- Allows custom Brigadier argument types to be used
- Previously, this would have not been possible, or we would have had to write an argument serializer to
cover every mod ever, which is not sustainable. CrossStitch implements a generic approach that will work
with every mod and in theory every proxy as well.
- Previously, this would have not been possible, or we would have had to write an argument serializer to
- More as the need arises.

CrossStitch 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 (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is CrossStitch compatible with fabric?
CrossStitch officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.7, 1.21.6. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with CrossStitch – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CrossStitch 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.
