DLC Manager Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Where do I put my optional mods so DLC Manager can find them?
Create a folder inside your modpack directory following the mod's folder structure (typically a designated DLC or optional content folder), then place your mod files there. The mod will scan this location automatically when you open the DLC Manager menu in-game.
Do I need to restart the game every time I enable or disable a mod?
Not always—DLC Manager tells you whether you need a full game restart or just a resource reload depending on what type of content you're toggling. Resource packs and data packs usually only need a reload, while mods typically require a restart.
How do I add descriptions that show up when I hover over items in the menu?
Create an info file (usually a text or JSON file) in the same folder as your content and name it according to the mod's naming convention. The mod will read this file and display the text as a tooltip when you hover over that item.
Can I use DLC Manager with resource packs and data packs, or just mods?
DLC Manager works with mods, resource packs, data packs, and even specialized content like TACZ gun packs—anything you want to toggle on and off without manual folder management.
What happens if I put files in the wrong folder?
DLC Manager won't detect them in the menu, and they won't load into your game. Make sure your files are in the correct scan folder location as specified in the mod's configuration.
Can I change where DLC Manager looks for files?
Yes, you can edit the mod's settings file to point to a different folder location. This is useful if you want to organize your optional content in a custom directory structure.
Why isn't my optional mod showing up in the DLC Manager menu?
Check that the file is in the correct scan folder, the filename is recognized by the mod, and you've opened the menu after placing the file there. Some mods may also require specific file formats or naming conventions.
Do I need to manually reload resources after enabling a resource pack through DLC Manager?
No—DLC Manager handles this automatically and will tell you if a resource reload is needed. You'll see a notification in-game when the reload is complete.
Can I organize multiple resource packs and data packs into separate groups?
Yes, DLC Manager groups your content into neat lists based on the folder structure you set up, making it easy to find and manage multiple packs at once.
Will DLC Manager slow down my game or cause lag?
DLC Manager is lightweight and only scans folders when you open the menu, so it shouldn't impact performance. The mod's main job is managing files, not processing them during gameplay.
