About this Mod
Rustic
Rustic is small-ish mod that mainly adds medieval-themed content to the game. It focuses on decoration and agriculture for now, but it branches out a bit as well.
This mod is currently on 1.12 only, but caittastic is developing a spiritual successor called Homespun for more recent versions of the game.

Rustic 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 (1.12.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Rustic – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Rustic 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.
