Frequently Asked Questions

Middle-earth 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 4 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 Middle-earth compatible with fabric?

Middle-earth officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.19.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Middle-earth – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Middle-earth 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.
