Checking Whether You Need DGLib in Your Mod List

DGLib is a background helper mod that adds no standalone items, blocks, or menus to Minecraft. Regular players only need this file when another add-on that changes character appearances requires it to run.

How to Tell If Another Mod Requires It

1. Open your game directory and inspect your mods folder to see which cosmetic or custom armor add-ons you currently have installed.

2. If you are cleaning up your mod list and want to check whether anything still relies on DGLib, close Minecraft and move the DGLib file out of the mods folder temporarily.

3. Launch the game again. If an installed cosmetic mod still needs DGLib, the game will stop during startup and tell you which mod requires it.

4. Put DGLib back into your mods folder if prompted, or leave it out if your game loads into a world with no missing features.

What Happens When Installed Alone

Leaving DGLib in your mods folder by itself will not alter your default skin or affect gameplay. Because it strictly provides shared background tools for other mods, it stays completely inactive until a compatible cosmetic add-on calls on it to modify how your character looks.
