About this Mod

Functionality Mod Banner

The mod goal is to eliminate this familiar feeling in Minecraft:

"Oh, this looks cool! I wonder what it does… oh. Nothing."

With Functionality, everything does something.

It's highly configurable, allowing any item, feature, or tweak to be disabled or customized exactly the way your heart desires.


Highlights

  • New meat drops for most passive mobs (Farmer’s Delight integrated)
  • Balanced rewards for fighting illagers, piglins, and vexes
  • Multiple short- and long-term uses for copper, amethyst, and more
  • Travel equipment (Curios integrated)
  • Fully configurable and built with compatibility in mind

Frequently Asked Questions

Functionality server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Functionality compatible with forge?

Functionality officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Functionality – how to optimize performance?

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