Fixing a Missing or Mismatched Valhelsia Core Dependency

Recognizing the Error

If a Valhelsia mod refuses to load, the crash log or mod list usually states that Valhelsia Core is missing or that a version requirement is not satisfied. This is a dependency problem, not a bug in the mod you were trying to use.

Resolving It Step by Step

1. Confirm Valhelsia Core is actually in your mods folder. It is easy to forget because it adds nothing visible.

2. Check the required version range stated by the dependent mod. If your Core is older or newer than that range, the dependent mod will reject it.

3. Match the Minecraft version. A Core built for one game version will not satisfy a mod built for another.

4. Match the mod loader. A Core for one loader will not work with a dependent mod for a different loader.

5. Remove duplicate copies. Two different Core files in the folder cause conflicts; keep only the one that satisfies all dependents.

When Multiple Mods Depend on It

Several Valhelsia mods may share the same Core. If one demands an older range and another a newer one, pick the Core version that falls inside every required range. If no single version satisfies all of them, you are running incompatible mod versions and must align them to a common release. After any change, fully restart the game rather than reloading, so the dependency check runs cleanly.
