From 92d45929f39b6c32c2c0a9af94c4f357911bd12b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 12:38:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add comprehensive mod dependency documentation CRITICAL: Added all missing mod dependencies to prevent installation failures. Dependencies Added: - Architectury API (required by FTB Library) - Balm (required by Waystones) - FTB Teams marked as dependency for FTB Chunks New Sections: - Dependency Summary with installation order - Quick dependency reference table - Clear dependency chain explanation Installation Order Now Documented: 1. Dependencies first (Architectury API, FTB Library, FTB Teams) 2. Core mods (LuckPerms, FTB Chunks, FTB Essentials, WorldEdit) 3. Performance mods (ServerCore, FerriteCore, Spark) 4. Optional mods with their dependencies noted Why This Matters: - Prevents 'missing dependency' errors during installation - Holly knows WHAT to install and IN WHAT ORDER - Clear table shows dependency relationships - Reduces troubleshooting time Removed: Duplicate Discord Integration section Chronicler #40 --- .../server-side-mod-deployment-guide.md | 120 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 106 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/guides/server-side-mod-deployment-guide.md b/docs/guides/server-side-mod-deployment-guide.md index 0a6c423..afbadec 100644 --- a/docs/guides/server-side-mod-deployment-guide.md +++ b/docs/guides/server-side-mod-deployment-guide.md @@ -156,24 +156,39 @@ Michael will store the MySQL credentials in Vaultwarden so you can access them s --- #### 4. **FTB Library** (Dependency) -**What it does:** Required library for FTB Chunks and FTB Essentials to work. +**What it does:** Required library for FTB Chunks, FTB Essentials, and FTB Teams to work. **Why we need it:** FTB mods won't run without this. +**Dependency for:** FTB Chunks, FTB Essentials, FTB Teams + **Download:** https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ftb-library-forge --- -#### 5. **FTB Teams** +#### 5. **Architectury API** (Dependency) +**What it does:** Required library for many cross-platform mods (works with both Forge and Fabric). + +**Why we need it:** Required by FTB Library and some other mods. + +**Dependency for:** FTB Library (and transitively, all FTB mods) + +**Download:** https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/architectury-api + +--- + +#### 6. **FTB Teams** **What it does:** Team system that integrates with FTB Chunks.
