Cyclops Core FAQ

It's a shared library mod that adds no blocks, items, or gameplay of its own. Its only job is to provide common code and utilities that other CyclopsMC mods rely on, so it must be installed alongside them for them to work.

No. Cyclops Core does nothing on its own, so installing it without a dependent mod just wastes a mod slot. Only keep it if another mod lists it as a required dependency.

Check the mod's dependencies list on its project page or in your mod loader's mod list. If Cyclops Core appears as a required dependency, that mod won't load without it.

This means a mod you installed requires Cyclops Core but it isn't present or isn't loading. Make sure the Cyclops Core file is in your mods folder and matches the Minecraft version of the mod that needs it.

A dependent mod was built against a different Cyclops Core version than the one you have. Update Cyclops Core to a version that satisfies the dependent mod's requirement, or roll it back if a newer one broke things.

Only if no installed mod depends on it. Removing it while dependent mods are present will crash the game on startup, so check your dependencies first.

It's a lightweight library, so its own footprint is minimal. Any performance impact you notice usually comes from the dependent mods using its utilities, not from Cyclops Core itself.

Yes, it's designed to coexist with other libraries since it only provides shared code for CyclopsMC mods. Conflicts are rare and usually come from the dependent mods, not the library.

Yes, it's meant to be a shared library, and other mods can depend on it for its common utilities. You'll need to declare it as a dependency in your mod's metadata so it loads correctly.

Update it together with the dependent mods that use it, since a newer Cyclops Core may require newer dependent versions. Back up your world and test in a copy before applying the update to your main instance.
