Troubleshoot When the Ancient Guardian Won't Spawn or Animate

If the boss doesn't appear when summoned:

1. Verify s_210316.bbmodel is in ModelEngine/blueprints with the exact filename.

2. Confirm AncientGuardian.yml exists in MythicMobs/Mobs.

3. Check that e9e27244dcae23b7 is in the MythicMobs folder—this file is essential for textures.

4. Ensure no files are in subfolders unless the mod requires it.

After placing files, run both reload commands:

Watch your server console for error messages. Common issues include missing files, incorrect YAML syntax, or mismatched file names.

If the boss appears but doesn't animate (idle, walking, or attack animations fail):

1. Verify the model file hasn't been corrupted during transfer.

2. Confirm Model-Engine is fully loaded before MythicMobs.

3. Check that the skill configuration references the correct animation names.

If problems persist, review your server logs for specific error codes and ensure all mod dependencies are installed and up to date.
