System Requirements & Performance

This is a medium-sized pack containing 176 mods. It includes heavy optimization mods to maximize your frame rates, but you must configure your launcher correctly:

• Recommended RAM:You must allocate 6GB to 8GB of RAM in your CurseForge launcher settings to prevent stuttering or crashing. 
• Storage: The world map and mods load directly from your local storage drive for optimal performance.
• IMPORTANT: If adding mods to the pack, test one by one to assure none of them have complications and clash with other mods. Crashes may occur.

Credits

• Free Mod Distribution: This project contains zero premium mod files. All 176 supporting mods are legally and automatically fetched for free via the official CurseForge client. 
• Original mod owners: Thank you for providing these mods to the community!
• Support the Map Architect: Building a massive, functional horse barn and training facility takes countless hours of design. If you want to support my custom world builds, visit my Ko-Fi. Any financial support is purely a donation for the map architecture, not for the free mods.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Where is the horse barn world map? I launched the pack and my singleplayer list is empty!
A: To protect the map architecture, the world save file is sold separately. You must download the world folder from my Ko-fi page and manually drop it into this modpack's `saves` folder. See the "How to Install and Play" section above for step-by-step instructions.

Q: My game crashes while loading, or it freezes completely when I try to play.
A: This pack contains 176 heavy building and equestrian mods. You must allocate more RAM! In your CurseForge App settings, go to Game Specific -> Minecraft, scroll down to Java Settings, and change the Allocated Memory slider to 6,000MB to 8,000MB (6GB–8GB).

Q: Why are my frame rates dropping around the main stables?
A: Large stables filled with custom blocks (Macaw's, Furniture mods) and complex animal entities (SWEM horses) require heavy rendering. To fix this, go to your in-game Video Settings and lower your Render Distance to 8–10 chunks, turn down your shadow quality, and ensure the included performance mods are active.

Q: Can I use this modpack on a multiplayer server with my friends?
A: Yes! However, you must delete any client-side-only optimization or cosmetic mods from the server's `mods` folder before launching it. Make sure your server host has at least 6GB–8GB of RAM available to handle the SWEM mechanics.
