Moonlight Core Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

What items or blocks does Moonlight Core Mod add to the game?
Moonlight Core Mod does not add any new items, blocks, mobs, or world changes on its own. It runs purely in the background as a shared code library so other mods in your list can function properly.
How can I tell if Moonlight Core Mod is actually working?
Open the Mods menu from your title screen to verify Moonlight Core Mod is listed, and confirm the game launches without a missing dependency warning. Because it only handles background tasks for other mods, reaching the main menu with your dependent mods active means it is working.
How do I check if my mod list still needs Moonlight Core Mod?
Temporarily move Moonlight Core Mod out of your mods folder and start the game. If any remaining mod still relies on it, your mod loader will stop during startup and display a warning naming the exact mod that requires it.
Do I need Moonlight Core Mod on both the server and client for multiplayer?
Whenever a server runs mods that depend on Moonlight Core Mod, both the server and every connecting player should have it in their mods folders. Keeping the library matched on both sides prevents connection rejections and background task errors.
Do friends joining my LAN world need Moonlight Core Mod too?
Yes, guests joining a LAN world need Moonlight Core Mod active if you are using content mods that rely on it. Without the library present on their end, the mods that depend on its shared code will prevent them from joining cleanly.
Why am I getting a mod loader mismatch warning with Moonlight Core Mod?
Although Moonlight Core Mod provides a bridge so projects can work across multiple loaders, your game profile still requires the build meant for the specific mod loader you are running. This warning appears when a file built for one loader is placed into a profile running a different loader.
Will Moonlight Core Mod change my vanilla world if no other mods use it?
No, running Moonlight Core Mod by itself leaves gameplay and world saves untouched because its tools stay inactive until another mod calls on them. Taking it out later when nothing else depends on it will not break blocks or corrupt your world.
Does Moonlight Core Mod cause lag or lower FPS?
By itself, Moonlight Core Mod has no noticeable effect on framerate or world tick speed because it simply provides shared tools in the background. Any performance load comes from the features of the content mods using it rather than the base library.
Why does my game stop at startup with a missing library screen mentioning Moonlight Core Mod?
One of your installed mods requires Moonlight Core Mod to run, and either the library is disabled in your profile or mismatched with what that mod expects. Check the startup warning screen to see which mod triggered the alert and verify that Moonlight Core Mod is active in the same mods folder.
Are there any keybinds or settings I need to turn on for Moonlight Core Mod?
Players do not need to bind any keys or run setup steps to make Moonlight Core Mod work. Once it is active in your mod list, it automatically handles background tasks for every installed mod that relies on it.
