Using Library Ferret as a Dependency for Other Mods

Why You Have This Mod

Library Ferret is a library mod. It registers zero items and zero blocks, so it never appears in your inventory, your recipe book, or your creative tabs. Its only job is to be present so that other mods which depend on it can load and run correctly.

Installing Alongside Dependent Mods

1. Place Library Ferret in your mods folder together with every mod that lists it as a required dependency.

2. Make sure all of them target the same mod loader. If a dependent mod is built for NeoForge, Library Ferret must also be loaded through NeoForge.

3. Start the game and watch the loading screen or log for dependency errors.

4. If a dependent mod loads successfully, Library Ferret is doing its job — even though you will never see it in-game.

Troubleshooting Load Failures

If the game crashes on startup with a missing dependency message naming Library Ferret, the file is either absent, in the wrong folder, or built for a different loader. Move it into the correct mods directory and confirm the loader matches. If the crash names a different mod, that mod is the problem, not Library Ferret.

What Not to Expect

Do not look for Library Ferret coins, blocks, or items. None exist in this mod. Any coins or content you see come from the dependent mods themselves.
