Insecticide Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything after installing Insecticide Mod?
No setup is required—Insecticide Mod works as a drop-in replacement for the CICADA library. Simply install it and it will automatically suppress console spam and unwanted texture changes without any configuration needed.
Why is my cape or elytra texture still changing after installing this mod?
Check that Insecticide Mod is loading before other mods that modify player rendering. If another mod is also handling capes, there may be a conflict; the custom cloak renderer in Insecticide Mod should take priority if loaded correctly.
Will this mod break other mods that depend on CICADA?
No—Insecticide Mod preserves all backend utilities that dependent mods need while removing only the unwanted console messages and texture changes, so other mods will continue to function normally.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, Insecticide Mod can be installed on both client and server. On servers, it's especially useful for reducing log clutter from library spam that would otherwise fill your server logs.
Does this mod affect performance or FPS?
Insecticide Mod is lightweight and actually improves performance by removing unnecessary console logging and texture processing, so you should see no negative impact on FPS.
What does 'player rendering independent of world context' mean?
This feature allows other mods to render players correctly even when the world isn't fully loaded or available, which is essential for mods that need to display player models outside normal gameplay contexts.
How do I manage mod settings if I'm using GSON templates?
Mods using Insecticide's GSON template class can store and load their settings as JSON files; check the specific mod's documentation for where its config file is located and how to edit it.
What is a mixin helper and why does my mod need one?
Mixin helpers are abstract tools that handle compatibility between mods by managing how code modifications interact. Insecticide Mod provides these to prevent conflicts when multiple mods try to modify the same game systems.
Can I disable specific features of Insecticide Mod?
Insecticide Mod doesn't have a config file—it's designed to work as a complete replacement with all features active. If you need selective behavior, you would need to remove the mod entirely.
Why do I still see some console messages even with this mod installed?
Insecticide Mod only suppresses spam from the CICADA library specifically; messages from other mods or Minecraft itself will still appear. Check your other installed mods if you're seeing unexpected console output.
