Gaia server crashes on startup – what to do?

Gaia officially supports fabric, folia, paper, purpur for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.11, 1.21.10. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Gaia – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Gaia 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.
