Frequently Asked Questions

Scary Player 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 (1.17). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Scary Player compatible with fabric?

Scary Player officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17, 1.16. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Scary Player – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Scary Player 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.
