resources to learn how to make a tiny mod/datapack?
i'm wanting to make a small datapack or mod that literally just adds a handful (maybe 5-10) decorative blocks to the game. basic vanilla shapes and all, but new recipes and textures.
can someone point me towards a learning resource like, noob modding for dummies?
thank you so much

do authors tend to be okay with mclogs instead of pastebin? and does pastebin hide IP info etc.?
i like to use mclogs because it deletes IP stuff, does pastebin do that too?
reporting issues, the github will often say upload logs via pastebin
thankye!

any way to cap maximum movement speed? (forge 1.20.1)
i am kind of guessing no, but are there any mods that could give the ability to put a hard limit on maximum movement speeds for players?
as in like, total speed bonuses of all items/enchantments/etc. from various mods and things?

entity cramming performance question
no issues at the moment, just have been incredibly curious:
which is better for performance, a single block cramming farm, or a smallish free range pen? (assuming there are the same number of entities)
thankye!

advice: magnum torch vs. torchmaster? (forge 1.20.1)
kinda vague question, but which one tends to be better for performance?
i like the customization of magnum torches better, but want to go with w/e is easier on the server. we're not having performance issues at the moment, but i wanna make sure i'm using best options!
from what i can tell, i think magnum torch runs checks with every single potential entity spawn to see if it's near a torch and what the settings are, even when none of the torches are actively loaded
idk how torchmaster works
ALSO
anyone know if it would break anything for me to remove the magnum torch mod from the world, if i do end up doing that?
thanks so much

(forge 1.20.1) suggestions for client optimizing + login lag?
hi! making lots of progress with modpack (yaay!), and really hoping to be able to start playing it soon with my friends. i'm happy to share whatever info is helpful for suggestions, so please let me know
client: my game seems to run pretty steady at 6-6.5gb (looking at task manager), with 4500 mb allocated memory in curseforge profile, some generic startup flags, and no resource packs/shaders. is that a reasonable level to run at?
client booting: kinda slow with booting up the game, and occasional client side lag. i definitely don't have the mental bandwidth to help all the players with customizing flags since i got cripplingly overwhelmed trying to understand it for my use, but the ones i found seem to help some. i tried fastboot and i think it conflicts with 'better fps-render distance' because it just hangs on the loading screen.
server login/portal lag: the server lags for a sec when anyone logs in, regardless of whether it's their first time. the console message says it's between 4-5k ticks behind, and i'm wondering if this is just normal or if there's some way for me to make it smoother. seems to do the same thing when folks are going through a portal
maybe dumb question, but what is good to set network compression at? i know it defaults to 256, but internet searches have been confusing. what do you guys do?
i have 12 gb ram for the server, using aikar's flags, and probably max players that will be on at any given time would be 5-6, normally more like 2-4
simulation dist is 8, view dist 10
(will likely post a separate question about server optimization fine tuning, that feels like a lot to cram into this one post)
thanks so much for any and all ideas and info! :PixelHeart:
this server has been so amazingly helpful

Looking for learning resources
I am quite new to modding and running a server and am really wanting to learn
Have gotten super confused about eggs vs loaders, compatability, optimizing, how to read java errors and heap dumps, what spigot/bukkit/paper/bungeecord/etc are, and probably everything you could think of.
and what the heck plugins are, and whether i should use them? (been trying to find ways to change settings that just don't seem to be readily available, and love the paper default configs, but ... those don't seem to be available for forge)
Can someone recommend some simple language resources to start learning about any of these things?
I do well with understanding the why behind how things work but am a bit of a slow learner (being heavily on the visual learning side of things doesn't help), so when folks tell me "just do xyz" I don't end up understanding why that is the best choice, and then don't know how to make decisions based on that info in the future.
Hopefully that makes sense, and thanks so much for any suggestions!
