About this Mod
Heracles
Technical optimization mod focused on drastically reducing MSPT, alleviating CPU load, and stabilizing memory.

Optimization Features
- Crowd Control: Optimization of collision tests and movement events to reduce lag in dense areas (players/entities).
- AI Throttling: Dynamic regulation of CPU load consumed by mob AI.
- Explosion Caching: Caching of explosion calculations to prevent lag spikes during massive destructions.
- Block Entity Stasis: Puts block entities (furnaces, chests, etc.) into sleep mode when out of player range.
- Multi-threading: Offloading of AI calculations and network management onto Virtual Threads.
Warning! Incompatibilities are possible!
- Network Management (QoS): Packet prioritization system and rate limiting to prevent bandwidth saturation.
- Async Furnace Ticking: Asynchronous processing of furnace smelting to free up the main loop.
Test Environment (Optimization Modpack)

HeraclesNetwork server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is HeraclesNetwork compatible with neoforge?
HeraclesNetwork officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with HeraclesNetwork – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HeraclesNetwork 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.
