Frequently Asked Questions

Gravel and Steel server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Gravel and Steel compatible with fabric?

Gravel and Steel officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Gravel and Steel – how to optimize performance?

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