Abuse of vanilla features as side effects! (current support fake entity)
About this Mod
Side Effects
A extremely lightweight library for creating server-side mod that works for unmodded clients!
Add to project:
repositories {
// other repo
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
dependencies {
// other deps
modImplementation "moe.hertz:side-effects:(version)"
}
Non-Goal
- Converting existing mods to server side.
- Full replacement for similar mod Polymer or PolyMc because I want to make it keeping lightweight.
Status
Currently, only custom(fake) entity is supported.
Docs is Coming Soon™
Example usage with this library:
Code example:
public class BatTrader extends BatEntity implements IFakeEntity {
public BatTrader(EntityType<? extends BatEntity> entityType, World world) {
super(entityType, world);
}
@Override
public EntityType<?> getFakeType() {
return EntityType.BAT;
}
}

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