Hey Minecraft players! š Want your Forge world to run smoothly without lag? šāāļø Here are some mods that can help optimize your server.
š Which Mods to Add?
Itās important not to overload your world with too many mods. Choose only the ones you really need and make sure theyāre compatible with each other!
(This isnāt a guide on how to install mods ā below, weāll show you how to do that:)https://www.holy.gg/post/cómo-instalar-mods-y-modpacks-en-holy-hosting)
FerriteCore ((Neo)Forge) š„
Link:Ā FerriteCore on CurseForge
Version:Ā 1.21.1 (still receiving updates)
This mod reduces Minecraftās memory usage in several ways.


Should I install this on the server or just the client?
Some optimizations are client-side only, but there are high-impact optimizations that are also relevant for the server. Therefore, you should install it on bothĀ sides.
MemoryLeakFix šļø
Link:Ā MemoryLeakFix on Modrinth
This mod fixes random memory leaks for both the client and the server.
Version:Ā Up to 1.20.4


Canary šļø
Link:Ā Canary on CurseForge
Version:Ā Up to 1.20.4
Canary is a general performance optimization mod and an unofficial fork of LithiumĀ for Minecraft Forge. It works on both the client and server, and can be installed on servers without requiring clients to have the mod.
Canary includes Lithiumās original optimizations (mob AI, chunk loading, game physics, etc.) and adds new improvements to make the game run smoother without altering any gameplay behavior.

Starlight ā
Link:Ā Starlight on CurseForge
Version:Ā Up to 1.20.2
Starlight was developed for large-scale dedicated servers, which experienced performance issues due to the incredibly slow vanilla lighting engine.

ModernFix š
Link:Ā ModernFix on CurseForge
Version:Ā 1.21.1 (still receiving updates)
ModernFix is an all-in-one mod that improves performance, reduces memory usage, and fixes many bugs in modern Minecraft versions (most versions from 1.16 onward are supported) without significantly impacting gameplay.
Most Forge 1.16ā1.19.2 modpacks will load roughly twice as fast with ModernFix installed. With some non-default options enabled, even large modpacks like All The Mods 8Ā can run with 3 GB of allocated memory or less.

Saturn šŖ
Link:Ā Saturn on CurseForge
Version:Ā 1.21.1 (still receiving updates)
Saturn is an all-in-one mod that improves performance, reduces memory usage, and fixes many bugs in modern Minecraft versions (most versions from 1.16 onward are supported) without significantly affecting gameplay. Most Forge 1.16ā1.19.2 modpacks will load roughly twice as fast with Saturn installed.
With some non-default options enabled, even large modpacks like All The Mods 8Ā can run with 3 GB of allocated memory or less.

ServerCore š„
Link:Ā ServerCore on CurseForge
Version:Ā 1.21.1 (still receiving updates)
This mod is designed to optimize Minecraft servers. It works on both dedicated servers and single-player mode!

Smooth Boot (Reloaded) š
Version:Ā Up to 1.20.1
Smooth Boot (Reloaded) is a performance optimization mod and an unofficial fork of Smooth Boot for Minecraft Forge 1.18.2+. If you have an older or low-end CPU (e.g., 8 threads or fewer), you may have noticed Minecraft using 100% CPU while loading the main screen, causing cursor stutter and making multitasking difficult. Smooth Boot (Reloaded) completely solves this problem, making the loading process much smoother and potentially faster.
What does this mod do?
Adjusts the number of threads used during loading
Changes the priority of threads used by Minecraft

Server Performance ā Smooth Chunk Save [Forge/Fabric] š»
Version:Ā 1.21.1 (still receiving updates)
This mod saves chunks gradually over time, reducing server lag and preventing spikes caused by saving too many chunks at once.
Performance Example (Vanilla 1.18, 3-player server):
Normal chunk saving consumes about 11% of the server tick.
With Smooth Chunk Save: only 0.3% of the server tick.
Depending on various factors, this can effectively provide up to 10% more server performanceĀ without issues.
The term āserverā also applies to single-player worlds, as they run an integrated server.
ā ļø Requires CupboardĀ to be installed as a dependency in newer versions.

Cupboard (Dependency) š·
Link:Ā Cupboard on CurseForge
Version:Ā 1.21.1
Cupboard provides code, frameworks, and utilities for Minecraft mods.
Features:
JSON configuration framework
Full crash error tracking
Command logging with errors
Debug option for chunk loading logs
Some mods require Cupboard to function properly.
