About this Mod
Rosen is a lightweight mod that aims to expand on the noteblock system by adding more instruments, while trying to keep the sound design on the same level as the vanilla Minecraft.
Currently Rosen adds 18 new carefully crafted instruments such as Saxophone, Organ, Sitar, Music Box, Timpani and more! Rosen also features a Quality of Life addition that allows to play already existing instruments with the other blocks of a similar type.

Rosen 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Rosen compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Rosen officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.6, 1.20.5. 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 Rosen – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Rosen 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.
