Understanding Why Balm Mod Is Installed

What Balm Mod Does

Balm Mod is a library mod—it doesn't add items, blocks, mobs, or features you can interact with directly. Instead, it provides shared code and tools that other mods use to function.

Think of it like a toolkit. Mod developers use Balm to avoid rewriting the same code repeatedly, making their mods smaller and more compatible.

Why You Have It

If Balm Mod is in your mods folder, another mod you installed depends on it. Removing Balm will cause that mod to crash or fail to load.

What to Do

You don't need to do anything with Balm Mod itself. It works silently in the background. Simply keep it installed alongside the mods that require it.

If you want to know which mod needs it, check your mod list or launcher log—it will show dependency errors if Balm is missing when a dependent mod tries to load.
