- Allows setting an arbitrary text scale, for large signs etc.
- Allows setting a custom hex color for contained text
- Displays text with a shadow, no shadow, or a tinted backdrop (toggleable)

Glowcase server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Glowcase compatible with fabric and neoforge and quilt?
Glowcase officially supports fabric, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Glowcase – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Glowcase 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.
