MaLiLib API Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to install MaLiLib API Mod if I don't have any mods that use it?
No. Only install it if another mod in your setup specifically requires it—the mod's description or documentation will tell you. Installing it without a dependent mod won't cause problems, but it serves no purpose on its own.
Why does a mod say it needs MaLiLib but my settings menu looks broken?
The mod likely can't find or load the MaLiLib API file. Make sure the file is in your mods folder and that you're using a compatible version—check the dependent mod's requirements to confirm which MaLiLib version it expects.
Can I delete MaLiLib API Mod after I've set up my mods?
No. Any mod that depends on MaLiLib needs it to run. Removing it will cause those mods to crash or lose access to their settings menus when you launch the game.
Where do MaLiLib mods store their settings files?
Settings are saved in your config folder, usually organized by mod name. MaLiLib standardizes how these files are structured so mods can read and write them reliably without conflicts.
My mod settings keep resetting every time I restart—what's wrong?
The config file may be corrupted or the mod can't write to it. Check that your config folder has write permissions, and try deleting the broken config file so the mod creates a fresh one on next launch.
Does MaLiLib API Mod add anything to my world or inventory?
No. It runs entirely in the background and doesn't create blocks, items, or any visible world changes—it only manages how other mods handle their settings.
Will MaLiLib slow down my game or cause lag?
No. MaLiLib is designed to run silently without impacting performance. It only processes settings when you open a mod menu, so it has no effect during normal gameplay.
Can two mods that use MaLiLib conflict with each other?
Not because of MaLiLib itself—it keeps each mod's settings separate. Conflicts between mods are usually due to the mods' own features, not the API.
What should I do if a mod's settings menu won't open?
First, verify MaLiLib API Mod is installed and in your mods folder. If it's there, check the mod's documentation for the correct keybind to open its menu, or look in the mod's own settings to see if the menu is disabled.
Is MaLiLib API Mod safe to use with other mods?
Yes. It's a utility mod designed specifically to work alongside other mods without interfering. As long as you install it when required, it won't cause crashes or compatibility issues.
