About this Mod

Primarily designed for use in modpacks, this mod automates the downloading of files from the web. It's super configurable and supports both headless and gui environments, with a consent screen, error handling (by the user), and update handling (Modpack Developers: Be gentle with this, we are checking by file name, and that can mess up if the pathing changes).

Supports the Curseforge API (you need to have an API key though, and still only supports 3rd party download capable mods), the Modrinth API, and by URL, and can place the downloaded file in any place within the game directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mod Controller 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Mod Controller compatible with neoforge?

Mod Controller officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Mod Controller – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Mod Controller 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.
