CyanLib Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to install CyanLib separately or does it come with other mods?
CyanLib is a required library that must be installed separately in your mods folder. If you're using mods from Aeldit's collection, they will not load without CyanLib present, and you'll see an error message listing it as a missing dependency.
Where do I find the mod configuration screen?
Open the in-game pause menu and look for a "Mod Menu" or "Config" button (the exact label depends on your mod loader). From there, you can locate CyanLib and access its configuration options directly without editing files.
Can I edit the config file manually or do I have to use the in-game screen?
You can edit the config file manually if you prefer—it's stored in your config folder. However, using the in-game configuration screen is safer and easier since it prevents syntax errors and applies changes without requiring a restart.
What does 'custom translations' mean and how do I change my mod language?
CyanLib allows mods built on it to display text in different languages. You can change the language through the mod's configuration screen or by editing the language setting in the config file, and the change applies to all Aeldit mods using this library.
I'm getting a crash that mentions CyanLib—what should I do?
First, verify that CyanLib is installed and matches your Minecraft version and mod loader. If the crash persists, check that no other mods are conflicting with it by temporarily removing recently added mods and testing one at a time.
Can I use CyanLib with mods from other authors or only Aeldit mods?
CyanLib is specifically designed as a library for Aeldit's mods. While it won't cause conflicts with other mods, its features are only utilized by mods built to use it, so other mods won't benefit from it.
Does CyanLib affect my game performance or FPS?
CyanLib itself has minimal performance impact since it's just a library providing shared functionality. If you notice lag when using multiple Aeldit mods, check the performance optimization guide to see if adjusting config settings helps.
Why won't my Aeldit mod load even though I installed CyanLib?
Make sure CyanLib is in the same mods folder as your other mods and that both are compatible with your Minecraft version and mod loader. If the issue persists, check the troubleshooting guide for missing dependencies and mod conflicts.
Can I have multiple versions of CyanLib installed at once?
No—only one version of CyanLib should be in your mods folder. Having duplicates or multiple versions will cause conflicts and prevent mods from loading properly.
If I remove CyanLib, will my worlds be affected?
Removing CyanLib will cause all dependent Aeldit mods to stop loading, but it won't delete or corrupt your world data. You can reinstall it later and your worlds will work again.
