Launchpad
Develop for NeoForge in the Fabric way
About this Mod
Launchpad
A small tool for developing NeoForge mods using Fabric conventions.
📖 About
Launchpad's main features include the following:
- Reading mod metadata from
fabric.mod.jsonfiles - Running standard mod entrypoints (
preLaunch,client,main,server) - Access transformation using Class Tweakers (or Access Wideners)
- Loading nested jar dependencies
Furthermore, we provide certain extensions on top of the Fabric standard described in Usage.
When to use Launchpad
Generally speaking, Launchpad works best for small to medium-sized Fabric mods that are already potentially compatible
with NeoForge, just need that small final push to get them loaded.
Use Launchpad, when:
- You want to port your mod to NeoForge but don't have the time for a full, native port
- Your mod requires little to no changes to be compatible with NeoForge (mainly speaking of Mixins)
- You're fine with having extra dependencies on NeoForge, namely the
Forgified Fabric API and Launchpad
When not to use Launchpad
Consider making a native port or using the MultiLoader template,
when:
- You want to use NeoForge APIs extensively
- You want full control over your metadata or entrypoints
- You don't want extra dependencies

Launchpad 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Launchpad compatible with neoforge?
Launchpad officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Launchpad – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Launchpad 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.
