Citadel Legacy FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need Citadel Legacy if I'm just playing vanilla Minecraft 1.12.2?
No. Citadel Legacy is a library mod that only activates when you install a creature mod that requires it. By itself, it adds nothing to gameplay and can be safely ignored if you're not using dependent mods.
How do I know if a mod needs Citadel Legacy to work?
Check the mod's description page or README file—it will explicitly state if Citadel Legacy is a required dependency. If it doesn't mention Citadel Legacy, you don't need it for that mod.
What do I do if mobs look broken or have missing animations?
First, verify Citadel Legacy is in your mods folder and Minecraft loads without errors. If animations still fail, check that your creature mod and Citadel Legacy versions are compatible, and try removing any conflicting animation or rendering mods.
Can I use Citadel Legacy on a multiplayer server?
Yes. Place Citadel Legacy in the server's mods folder just like you would on a client, and ensure all players have the same version installed locally. The mod handles network syncing automatically so entity data stays consistent.
Will Citadel Legacy cause lag or performance issues?
Citadel Legacy runs as a background library and has minimal performance impact on its own. Performance depends on how many complex mobs are active; if you experience lag, it's usually from the creature mods using Citadel, not the framework itself.
Do I need to configure anything after installing Citadel Legacy?
No configuration is required. Citadel Legacy loads automatically and works with dependent mods without player setup. Just place it in your mods folder and launch Minecraft.
What happens if I remove Citadel Legacy after using it?
Any mobs that depend on Citadel Legacy will fail to load or display incorrectly. Always keep Citadel Legacy installed if you're using mods that require it.
Can Citadel Legacy work with other animation or model mods?
Citadel Legacy is designed to coexist with most mods, but conflicts can occur with other custom entity rendering frameworks. If you experience issues, try disabling other animation mods to isolate the problem.
Why are my mobs not syncing correctly on multiplayer?
Ensure both server and client have Citadel Legacy installed and that versions match. If sync issues persist, check that no firewall or network mod is blocking entity data packets.
Is Citadel Legacy only for creatures, or does it support other entity types?
Citadel Legacy is primarily designed for complex mob and creature logic, but its animation and syncing systems can support any entity type that a dependent mod chooses to implement.
