Troubleshooting Mods That Use Otter Lib

Common Issues

If a mod that depends on Otter Lib isn't working correctly, the library mod may be missing or outdated.

Symptoms:

• The dependent mod fails to load
• You see error messages mentioning "Otter Lib" in the log
• Config screens don't appear or crash
• Styled chat messages don't display properly

How to Fix

1. Verify installation — Check your mods folder to confirm Otter Lib is present

2. Check compatibility — Ensure Otter Lib matches your Minecraft version and mod loader (Forge, Fabric, etc.)

3. Update if needed — If the dependent mod was recently updated, Otter Lib may need updating too

4. Check the log — Look at your latest.log file for specific error messages that indicate what went wrong

5. Reinstall — Remove both Otter Lib and the dependent mod, then reinstall fresh

If problems persist, report the issue to the mod developer with your log file attached.
