Why Custom Mobs Look Wrong or Fail to Load

Common Model and Animation Issues

When custom creatures don't render properly, Citadel Up's model loading system is often involved. Problems include missing textures, broken geometry, or creatures not appearing at all.

Diagnosis and Solutions

Creatures don't appear:

• Citadel Up may not have loaded before the dependent mod
• Restart your game completely (don't just reload worlds)
• Check that both mods are in the mods folder, not disabled

Models look distorted or have missing parts:

• The .tbl or .obj model files may be corrupted during download
• Re-download the dependent mod
• Verify the mod version matches your Minecraft version

Textures are missing or wrong:

• This is usually a texture pack or dependent mod issue, not Citadel Up
• Check if the dependent mod includes its own resource pack

Animations are jerky or freeze:

• Citadel Up handles animation data; low frame rates can cause stuttering
• Increase allocated RAM or reduce render distance
• Update to the latest compatible version of both mods

If issues persist, the dependent mod itself may need updating or support.
