Known Issues

This page tracks player-facing issues that appear often enough to document. It is not a full bug database.

Mismatched client after a pack update

Symptom: cannot join, mod channel disagreements, missing registry entries.
Workaround: update or reinstall the shared Modrinth instance; avoid mixing old jars.

Shader launch failures with Iris

Symptom: crash on launch or white/black screen after enabling a shader.
Workaround: disable shaders, verify Iris comes from the shared instance guidance, try another shader pack.

Voice chat connected in-game but silent

Symptom: no nearby voices / mic not transmitting.
Workaround: check OS mic permissions, correct input device, disable VPN, confirm optional voice chat is installed.

Manually installed Distant Horizons errors

Symptom: “Unrecognized version” or similar LOD/mod version errors.
Workaround: remove Distant Horizons and use the supported pack as shipped.

Performance dips near heavy farms or hubs

Symptom: FPS or server feel drops in busy areas.
Workaround: lower video settings, keep entity distance reasonable, report pathological farms to staff if a specific build is melting performance.

When an issue is fully resolved in a pack release, move a short note to the Changelog and trim this page.
