Feedback
Let me know via Discord if you have any feedback!
If you really like the mod and would like to donate, it would be greatly appreciated!
I prefer making mods that actually bring something new to the table rather than reskins of existing content in game, if that's up your alley, any donation would motivate me greatly to make more innovative mods/improve my released mods! If you aren't comfortable donating/can't afford to do so(which is completely fine), sharing and letting others know of the mods will help greatly as well! Cheers!

PeanutsChat 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is PeanutsChat compatible with fabric?
PeanutsChat officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with PeanutsChat – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if PeanutsChat 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.
