Troubleshoot Game Crashes Related to Missing Libraries

Identify Library-Related Crashes

If your game crashes on startup with errors mentioning missing APIs or libraries:

1. Read the crash log carefully for mentions of "Catalytic" or dependency errors

2. Check if you recently added new mods that require Catalytic Lib

3. Verify Catalytic Lib is installed in the exact same mods folder as your other mods

Fix the Problem

1. Download Catalytic Lib Mod and place it directly in your mods folder

2. Do not place it in any subfolder or nested directory

3. Ensure the file name matches your mod loader (Forge, Fabric, etc.)

4. Delete your crash logs and restart Minecraft

5. If crashes persist, check that all dependent mods are also present and enabled

Catalylic Lib prevents crashes by providing shared code that multiple mods rely on. Without it, dependent mods cannot initialize properly.
