This mod uses OneConfig for its config. OneConfig will automatically be downloaded on launch if it is not already installed.
Modpack?
If you want to use my mods in a Modpack, I ask that the modpack is only available on Modrinth. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss further.

Shy 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 (1.8.9). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Shy compatible with forge?
Shy officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.8.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Shy – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shy 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.
