Frequently asked questions

Why do I have Cool Cat Lib Canvas Mod installed, and do I actually need it?
It's a library that other mods use to draw their fancy menus, sliding panels, screen effects and custom skies. You need it only if another mod in your pack lists it as a requirement. If nothing depends on it, it adds very little on its own beyond loading resource-pack skyboxes.
Does Canvas need CoolCatLib Core too?
Yes. Canvas is an extension of CoolCatLib: Core, so Core has to be installed alongside it. Install Canvas and Core together, and check that the mod requiring them is happy with the setup.
Does Cool Cat Lib Canvas go on the client, the server, or both?
Everything it renders, including shaders, skyboxes, widgets and text effects, happens on the client, so players need it installed. Effects can also be triggered by server commands. If a server-side mod in your pack depends on it, install it on the server as well and match what that mod asks for.
What happens if I remove Canvas but keep the mod that needs it?
The mod that depends on it won't have what it needs, so the game will typically fail to load and report the missing dependency. Either keep Canvas installed or remove the mod that requires it.
