About this Mod
Sunken
When a nautilus jockey is struck by lightning, the drowned is transformed into The Sunken and the zombie nautilus is transfromed into The Withered nautilus.
When riding The Withered nautilus, using the charge attack on players or other mobs applies the wither effect.
Get your lightning rods out, or start swimming during a storm to get these cool mobs!

Sunken server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (26.1.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Sunken compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Sunken officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11. 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 Sunken – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Sunken 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.
