Food Balance server crashes on startup – what to do?

Food Balance officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. 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 Food Balance – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Food Balance consumes the most tick time.
