Suggestions and ideas for the mod are always welcome.

Due to personal issues, I will not be releasing any more major updates after 1.2.2, only bug fixes.

Please read the whole description, thanks.

Hush now, and walk where petals lie,
Beneath a still and watchful sky.
Thou wert not lost when thou didst roam
The Garden found thee, brought thee home.

WARNING

This mod contains emotional and horror-related content.

Includes:

  • Sudden loud sounds and ambient noise
  • Flashing lights and visual effects
  • Unsettling themes and text
  • Unexpected events

Audio levels for most sounds can be adjusted using Minecraft's default volume settings:

  • Hostile Creatures
  • Ambient/Environment
  • Music

If you are sensitive to flashing lights, loud noises, or intense horror experiences, please play with caution.

Although this is one of my first full releases, the mod was built with care and a focus on creating a memorable and unsettling experience.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome and help improve future updates.

Inspiration

Mainly inspired by:

  • wonderland.jar (heavily inspired)
  • Minecraft ARGs
  • Dreams I had
  • Wanting to scare my friends with a fun mod

Special Thanks

Frequently Asked Questions

the_garden.jar 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 4 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_garden.jar compatible with forge?

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

Server lagging with the_garden.jar – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if the_garden.jar 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.
