❓ FAQ
Q: Do I need the mod on both client and server?
A: Most functionality (spawn control, griefing prevention, etc.) works with the mod installed only on the server. However, command feedback texts may appear untranslated on clients without the mod. For the best experience, install it on both sides.

Q: I changed the config but nothing happened.
A: Check that your YAML file has the correct syntax (indentation matters). You can also run /xytool reload and check the server log for errors.

Q: How do I restore the default config?
A: Simply delete the config/xysmalltool/xysmalltool.yaml file and restart the game/server – a fresh copy with defaults will be generated.

Frequently Asked Questions

XySmallTool server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 XySmallTool compatible with fabric?

XySmallTool officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with XySmallTool – how to optimize performance?

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