Enhanced Celestials 2 Core Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need this mod to play Minecraft normally?
No, Enhanced Celestials 2 Core Mod is a library mod that only adds functionality when other mods depend on it. By itself, it makes no changes to your game.
Why do my moon phases look wrong or not change?
Check that any datapacks using this mod are properly loaded in your world folder and that the mod is installed correctly. Verify in your mod list that Enhanced Celestials 2 Core Mod appears without errors.
Can I use this mod with other sky or moon mods?
Compatibility depends on the specific mods—some may conflict if they both try to control the night sky. Check the documentation of other mods you're using to see if they're designed to work with Enhanced Celestials 2.
How do I load a custom moon datapack?
Place the datapack folder in your world's datapacks directory, then run `/reload` in-game or restart the world. The mod will automatically load lunar data from any compatible datapacks present.
What's the difference between this mod and Enhanced Celestials 2 itself?
This Core Mod provides only the backend scheduling system and datapack loader. The full Enhanced Celestials 2 mod adds actual moon phases and night sky content that uses this core system.
Can I create my own custom moon phases?
Yes, by creating a datapack that follows the lunar event format this mod supports. See the Creating Custom Moon Phases guide for the structure and commands needed.
Does this mod affect performance or FPS?
The core scheduler runs efficiently in the background with minimal impact. Performance depends more on how many lunar events are scheduled and how complex your datapacks are.
Why isn't my datapack being recognized?
Ensure the datapack is in the correct folder structure, the mod is installed, and you've run `/reload` after adding it. Check the Troubleshooting guide for common datapack setup mistakes.
Do I need to restart my world when adding a new datapack?
No, you can use `/reload` to load new datapacks without restarting, though a full restart is more reliable if issues occur.
Can other mod developers use this mod as a dependency?
Yes, that's the mod's purpose—it provides a shared library that other mods can hook into for custom lunar events and night sky systems.
