About this Mod

This mod removes the shadow behind text from the game, making the text appear flat and stylised.

While this is primarily for cosmetic reasons it may also increase FPS on text heavy screens.

Frequently Asked Questions

No Shade 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 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 No Shade compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

No Shade officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. 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 No Shade – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if No Shade 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.
