Lead Recipe Backport officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3. 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 Lead Recipe Backport – how to optimize performance?

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