Troubleshooting Installation

Mod Not Loading

Ensure you’re running Java 21. In the Minecraft launcher, check your Java version:
  1. Open Minecraft Launcher
  2. Go to Installations → Your Fabric profile → Edit
  3. Check “Java Executable” path
  4. Verify it points to Java 21
Open the Minecraft Launcher and check your Fabric profile shows version 0.16.0 or newer.If not, reinstall Fabric Loader from fabricmc.net.
Some chunk generation mods may conflict. Try removing other world generation or pre-generation mods temporarily.
Check the latest log file at:.minecraft/logs/latest.logLook for error messages mentioning voxyworldgenv2.

Voxy Integration Not Working

Check that voxy-<version>.jar is present in your mods folder.Look for this log message:
[INFO] voxy integration initialized (enabled: true)
If you see voxy not present, integration disabled, Voxy isn’t being detected.
Ensure your Voxy version is compatible with Minecraft 1.21.6-1.21.11.The mod uses reflection to detect Voxy methods and should work across multiple Voxy versions.
