Features
(Your vanilla experience will be further enhanced thanks to these features)
You will receive a Stone Sword, Torch, Leather Boots, Some Apples and Bread inside a bundle when you first log into the game. You can open the bundle which will drop your items on the ground for you to pick up.
All items are fully customizable via datapacks! Simply get the datapack from the GamerPotion Discord channel's #files section and place it inside your world's 'datapacks' folder. Server owners can do the same but make sure you have finalized the file before you let your players into the game. You can then edit the 2 files inside the datapack to change the starter message and the items.

Permission - Feel free to use in your modpacks.

DarkStarter 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is DarkStarter compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
DarkStarter officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. 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 DarkStarter – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DarkStarter 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.
