About this Mod
Minecraft features multiple items and blocks which are not renewable, meaning that there are a limited number of them available in a given world. This has the potential to cause scarcity issues, especially on servers where players have to compete with each other over these resources. This pack is intended to resolve those issues by making these items renewable, either through crafting recipes, entity drops, or some other method.
A full list of changes made by the pack can be found below. This list can also be found in the "features" file within the pack.

Please note that this data pack currently alters the loot tables of several entities, and may therefore cause incompatibility issues with any other packs which alter those same tables. This will be resolved in a future update.
This pack is currently only for Minecraft 1.20+. Backporting it would require me to rewrite large portions of the code, and while I would love to get around to doing that, it is not planned at this time.

Renewable server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (24w07a). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Renewable compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Renewable officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 24w07a, 24w06a, 24w05b. 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 Renewable – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Renewable 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.
