About this Mod
Famine Mod
This is a hardcore mod that I put together for my modpack in order to enforce progression and encourage collaboration in a multiplayer experience. The mod is meant to be combined with mods such as Create and Farmer's delight.
Mod Features
- Increased Player Exhaustion => Food runs out quicker
- Enforced Gamerule Natural Regeneration false
- New Item Bandage as early game health restoration
- Skeletons shoot every 15 ticks regardless of difficulty
- Nether portals are disabled => New items "Hell Gem" to travel to the nether and a "Recall potion" to exit both can be found in ancient city chests to encourage exploration.
- Decreased food saturation multiplier and foodlevel by half => Ex: Cooked Beef is equivalent of eating an apple
- Eating raw meat causes Nausea, Poison and Hunger effects

Famine server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 Famine compatible with fabric?
Famine officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Famine – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Famine 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.
