About this Mod
"You're not part of the control group, by the way. You get the gel. Last poor son of a gun got blue paint, broke every bone in his legs. Tragic, but informative!" - Cave Johnson
Modular Gel is a simple mod inspired by the mobility gels from Portal 2, intended to be used for building Portal-style test chambers, minigames, parkour maps and whatnot. Although you can use the mod on it's own, I highly recommend pairing it with Create or Immersive Portal Gun.
To create Gels, use the Gelworker's Toolbox for access to the Placer Tool, Modifier Tool, and Gel Crucible. Each Modifier requires a different ingredient which can be applied in the Crucible UI. The Placer and Modifier Tools will automatically pull from your set Modifiers and Dyes. Additionally, Modifiers can be applied from longer distances using the Gel Vent block.
List of Modifiers:
- Basic Gel: No special behavior - No ingredient
- Bouncy Gel: Launches entities upwards, prevents fall damage - Slimeball
- Slippery Gel: Increased speed, decreased friction - Ice block
- Sticky Gel: Decreased speed and jump height - Honey Bottle
- Glowing Gel: Emmisive texture - Glow Ink Sac
- Luminous Gel: Emits light - Glowstone Dust
- Weighted Gel: Falls like sand - Iron Ingot
- Acidic Gel: Inflicts Acid Burn on contact - Spider Eye
- Ghost Gel: Passable for entities - Ghast Tear
- Resistant Gel: Cannot be further edited by Modfier tools - Cobblestone

Modular Gel server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Modular Gel officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Modular Gel – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Modular Gel 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.
