Troubleshoot Missing Overlay Information

Why Overlays Aren't Showing

Overlay Lib is a dependency mod—it provides the tools, but doesn't display information on its own. If you don't see any overlays in your world, the issue is usually that you're missing the actual information mod that uses Overlay Lib.

Diagnostic Steps

1. Verify Overlay Lib is installed: Check your mods folder to confirm the mod file is present

2. Install a compatible overlay mod: You need a separate mod (like a light level indicator or ore finder) that depends on Overlay Lib to function

3. Check mod compatibility: Ensure the overlay mod you installed is designed for your Minecraft version

4. Review keybinds: Some overlays are toggled on/off with a key—check your controls menu to enable the display

5. Restart your game: After adding mods, a full restart ensures they load correctly

Confirming Installation

If Overlay Lib is working, you should see no errors in your game's log file related to missing rendering libraries. The mod works silently—you'll only notice it's there when an overlay mod successfully displays information.
