About this Mod

Title banner

Smart Survival (Fabric)

Smart Survival is a Fabric mod that adds realistic survival mechanics to Minecraft by extending the way players manage food, temperature, sleep and conditions.

The mod aims to make survival immersive without making it any more complex.

Features

Advanced Nutrition System

Custom UI for Diet

Smart Survival introduces a food system where food is organized into food groups.

  • A pattern of eating the same type of food repeatedly loses its effectiveness.
  • Promotes and rewards a healthy diet.
  • Tracks food groups per player.
  • Nutrition data is exchanged between server and client.
  • Contains custom nutrition UI in game.

Temperature & Environment Effects

Standing near campfires increases warmth

Neither the environment nor the actions of the player contribute to player temperature.

  • Server-side temperature logic is run for consistency.
  • Standing near campfires causes increased body heat.
  • Extreme temperatures increase the risk of a coldness penalty.
  • Sustaining too long near campfires raises the risk of being in danger.
  • Extreme temperatures create survival penalties.

Improved Sleep Mechanics

Sleeping Mechanic

Sleep is no longer a way to escape the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Survival 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 (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Smart Survival compatible with fabric?

Smart Survival officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Smart Survival – how to optimize performance?

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