About this Mod
World Generation
Shimmer can be found in small caves generating under the surface. Just be careful not to fall in...
Phasing
Touching shimmer will cause you to enter an incorporeal state, unable to do anything while slowly sinking through the ground. You only regain control when entering an empty space.
Uncrafting
Some items that come into contact with shimmer get deconstructed into their base components.
For pack devs: Items tagged with shimmer:dont_uncraft won't be uncrafted. Items tagged with shimmer:dont_uncraft_into will prevent choosing recipes containing them when uncrafting other items.
Transmutation
An even more select section of items get transformed into something wholly unique. It might be something familiar, or it might be something new?
For pack devs: Transmutations are data-driven, allowing them to be easily added through datapacks. They take priority over uncrafting.

Shimmer 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 (1.18.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Shimmer officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.18.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Shimmer – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shimmer 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.
