Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors.

Lava Source officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2-pre-1, 26.2-snapshot-8, 26.2-snapshot-7. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Lava Source – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Lava Source consumes the most tick time.
