Resolving Conflicts Between Smooth Boot and Other Performance Mods

Identifying a Conflict

Conflicts usually show up as crashes during the loading screen, a frozen progress bar, or the game ignoring your config changes. Start by reading the crash report or the latest log file in your instance's logs folder. Look for the mod named at the point of failure and check whether it also touches the game's startup or threading behavior.

Common Overlap Areas

Several performance and optimization mods modify how the game initializes, which is exactly what Smooth Boot targets. When two mods try to control the same startup phase, one may override the other or cause instability.

• If another mod also manages loading threads, disable the overlapping feature in one of them rather than running both.
• Mods that change class loading or mixin behavior at boot are frequent sources of friction.
• Keep your mod list minimal when testing so you can add mods back one at a time.

Testing a Fix

Disable the suspected conflicting feature, then relaunch. If the crash disappears, re-enable features gradually to confirm which combination is safe. If you cannot resolve the overlap, decide which mod's benefit matters more to you and disable the other's conflicting option. Always back up your config folder before making bulk changes so you can restore a working state quickly.
