About this Mod

Stardust Enchanting


Stardust currently adds 20+ new vanilla-style enchantments to the game, with even more to come.
It aims to add variety to the slightly bland collection of enchantments currently in the game, whilst still keeping it as close to vanilla as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stardust 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 (1.20.6). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Stardust – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Stardust consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
