Disclaimer

This mod does not aim to impersonate/copy the LifeSteal SMP. This mod aims to replicate (and hopefully perfectionate) the many mods that recreate the LifeSteal SMP experience for everyone to enjoy.

LifeSteal SMP also has seasonal updates that change the gameplay style for creating better content on Youtube, but this mod will keep only the features present in the description above. Hope you enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

LifeSteal 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is LifeSteal compatible with forge?

LifeSteal officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with LifeSteal – how to optimize performance?

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