About this Mod

The Gnome

He breaks the silence (occasionally).

The Gnome dwells below the surface level (obviously).
You can befriend him and use as a decoration element (almost like Terraria's gnomes). He likes rocks, any stone tool material will do. When tamed you can order to sit and stand still. While sitting or standing the Gnome is unpushable and won't make any moves or animations, almost like a statue. However he will break the silence occasionally.
He is afraid of sticks and will panic when sees one. Sometimes he teleports around like enderman with a mischievous laughter.
Random teleportation and intervals of ambient sounds are configurable.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Gnome 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is The Gnome compatible with forge?

The Gnome officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with The Gnome – how to optimize performance?

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