About this Mod

Plague Delight

Plague Delight is an addon mod for Farmer's Delight based around disease and
medicine!

By interacting with mobs, players, and the environment, the user has a chance
to catch one of several diseases. With some determination and a little luck,
users can culture pathogens and create a variety of medicines and vaccines to
stay healthy.

Plague Delight is still in the pre-release stage, so I plan to add way more
functionality! Stay tuned. Please report any bugs or features you would like
added.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plague Delight 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.

Is Plague Delight compatible with forge?

Plague Delight officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Plague Delight – how to optimize performance?

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