When you launch Minecraft with Moonlight Core Mod installed, you will not find new blocks, items, mobs, or recipes inside a world. The mod operates purely as a background library, supplying shared tools and common code so other mods can run smoothly across different mod loaders.
Confirming the Library Is Loaded
Even though it adds no playable content of its own, you can still check that the game recognizes it properly:
1. Launch Minecraft to the main title screen.
2. Click the Mods button provided by your mod loader.
3. Scroll through the installed list or use the search bar to locate Moonlight Core Mod.
4. Seeing it listed confirms the base layer is active and handling background tasks for any installed mods that rely on it.
Checking Dependent Mods in Creative Mode
Because Moonlight Core Mod exists solely to support other projects, the clearest way to test it inside a world is through the content mods that require it:
1. Create a separate singleplayer Creative world so you do not risk an existing Survival save.
2. Open your inventory and switch to the tabs added by your other installed mods.
3. Place blocks or test items from those mods as usual. If everything runs without loader errors, the shared code library is doing its job behind the scenes.
