Soft Imprints 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 (26.2-rc-2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Soft Imprints officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2-rc-2, 26.2-rc-1, 26.2-pre-6. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Soft Imprints – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Soft Imprints consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
