TabChannel server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is TabChannel compatible with fabric and neoforge?

TabChannel officially supports fabric, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with TabChannel – how to optimize performance?

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