Future Development
Feel free to leave suggestions on curseforge.
Please keep in mind that this is something I made using a lot of my free time and I will In fact need to take a
break from Modding rather soon. This means there will be likely no new features for a while. I will still try to provide support as much as my schedule allows.
But this also depends on you! If you enjoy the mod, please share and I will be much more motivated to invest time! I will also support newer version of minecraft, if people wish for it (other modloaders are out of reach, sorry)!

Robotics 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 Robotics compatible with forge?
Robotics officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Robotics – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Robotics 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.
