About this Mod
The premise of the Xianxia mod is simple. To take the genre/concept of Xianxia/Wuxia novels and translate it into a full Minecraft experience. The mod introduces Qi into the world (I.e. life energy, chakra, chi, etc.) and allows you to cultivate/meditate to reach higher levels of power.
Some features include:
- Cultivation
- 9 Layers per Realm
- 1 Realm currently (And the first layer of Realm 2)
- Spirit Stones
- Liquid Qi that can be found rarely as pools
- Spirit Grass
- Qi Pills (That can be brewed in a brewing stand using Spirit Grass and Spirit Stones)
- Spatial Storage Rings (Made with Gold and a Spirit Stone)
Each Layer grants overall increases to your existence, which include increased health, speed, damage, jump height, regeneration, and at the highest currently implemented layer (Realm 2, Layer 1) you have access to flight!
Certain high Qi density items/blocks can increase the rate at which you can cultivate your Qi, such as raw Spirit Grass, condensed Liquid Qi, and the best of all (In this update) Qi Pills.
This is the initial update, so expect MANY more features in the future like more: items, blocks, layers, realms, cultivation techniques, dimensions you can explore and live in that are locked to certain cultivation levels, Qi attacks, different grade Qi weapons, flying swords, lots more pill creation and pill ingredients, better stat system using custom attributes instead of potion effects, different grade beasts that utilize Qi, body refinement, animations, a sect system, disciple system, and more!
Feel free to use it to make modpacks, servers, videos, etc! If you do make something, please tell me, I wanna see it! (Though you don't have to, no pressure!)

Xianxia server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Xianxia compatible with neoforge?
Xianxia officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Xianxia – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Xianxia 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.
