Troubleshooting Missing or Broken Subgroups
Subgroups Not Appearing
If you don't see subgroup tabs in a mod's creative inventory:
1. Verify the mod uses Fractal — Not all mods use this system. Check the mod's documentation
2. Confirm Fractal is installed — Ensure the mod listed Fractal as a dependency and you've downloaded it
3. Check mod load order — Fractal should load before any mods that depend on it
4. Restart your game — Changes to mod dependencies require a full restart
Subgroups Appear But Don't Work
- Clicking tabs does nothing — Try scrolling the subgroup list if there are many categories
- Items missing from subgroups — This is usually intentional; the mod developer controls which items appear where
- Inventory looks cluttered — Some mods may not fully implement Fractal's features; this is a mod design choice, not a Fractal issue
General Troubleshooting
Fractal is a lightweight library with minimal failure points. If subgroups aren't working:
- Ensure you're using compatible mod versions
- Check that no conflicting mods are installed
- Review the dependent mod's documentation for specific requirements
