About this Mod

Reef Redux

This small mod changes how coral reefs generate in Minecraft. Instead of the flat stretches with coral formations coming right out of the seabed, this mod adds coral that generates on rocky outcrops. These outcrops sometimes contain caves and can have other unique generation, such as arches.

Note that as of 1.1.0, vanilla coral reef generation is replaced entirely!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reef Redux 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 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Reef Redux compatible with forge?

Reef Redux officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.19.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Reef Redux – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Reef Redux 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.
