MagicLib Dev Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to install MagicLib Dev Mod to play?
Only if you're using magic mods that depend on it—the mod itself adds no gameplay content. Check your magic mod's description or documentation to see if MagicLib Dev is listed as a required dependency.
Why does my magic mod crash when I load the world?
MagicLib Dev may not be installed or is outdated. Verify it's in your mods folder and update to the latest dev build, then check the crash log to confirm the dependency error is resolved.
Can I use MagicLib Dev on a multiplayer server?
Dev builds are not recommended for servers since they change frequently and may be unstable. Use the stable release version instead to avoid unexpected crashes or compatibility issues with players.
How do I know if MagicLib Dev loaded correctly?
Check your latest.log file for any errors mentioning MagicLib, and verify the mod appears in the mods list when you hover over the Mods button on the title screen.
What's the difference between dev builds and stable releases?
Dev builds are automatically published whenever code changes and may be untested or unstable, while stable releases are polished versions recommended for normal gameplay. Use dev builds only if you want to test new features early.
Will updating MagicLib Dev break my world?
Dev builds can change frequently and may introduce breaking changes, so always back up your world before updating. If issues occur, downgrade to your previous version and report the problem.
Why do my magic mods keep crashing after updating?
Dev builds may introduce compatibility changes between MagicLib and dependent mods. Update all your magic mods to their latest versions, or roll back MagicLib Dev to a previous build if crashes persist.
Can I use MagicLib Dev with mods that aren't magic-related?
MagicLib Dev is a core library specifically for magic mods and won't affect non-magic mods, but it also won't provide any benefit to them. It's safe to have installed alongside other mod types.
How often do dev builds update?
Dev builds are published automatically whenever code is pushed to the project, so updates can happen frequently and without warning. Check for updates regularly if you want the latest features and fixes.
Should I report bugs I find in dev builds?
Yes—dev builds are meant for testing, so bug reports help developers fix issues before stable release. Include your crash log and steps to reproduce the problem when reporting.
