Most problems come from a version mismatch or the wrong file. Work through these checks in order.
Key takeaways
- Check versions first: it fixes most crashes.
- Launch the Forge profile, not vanilla.
- Attach the crash report when asking for help.
Most Small Ships Mod problems come from a handful of causes. Work through these checks in order before reinstalling everything.
The game crashes on startup
- Confirm the mod file, Forge and Minecraft all share the same version number.
- Update Forge to the recommended build for that Minecraft version.
- Make sure you placed a
.jar, not a.zipsource archive.
The mod does not appear in the Mods list
You are probably launching the vanilla profile. Pick the Forge profile in the launcher. Also check the file landed in the mods folder of the instance you are actually running; launchers that keep separate folders per instance catch many people out.
"Mismatched mod list" when joining a server
The server and your client must run the same version of the mod. Ask the server owner which file they use and install exactly that one.
Ships behave strangely or vanish
Update to the latest file for your Minecraft version and test without other mods. If the problem stays, it may be a known bug; check open issues on the GitHub repository.
Reading the crash report
Open .minecraft/crash-reports and look for the first line that mentions a mod name. When you report an issue, attach this file along with your Minecraft, Forge and mod versions.
