 ==== How do I see a list of mods in-game? ====
-Fabric doesn't come with a mod menu built-in. There's a mod called [[https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu|Mod Menu]] that adds it. Some mods integrate with Mod Menu and add in-game configuration screens. Click on the "Mods" button and select the mod you want to configure; if the mod integrates with Mod Menu, you'll see a "Settings" button on the top-right.

 ==== My instance with Sodium and Continuity crashes when gravel/sand falls or when a piston extends ====
-This is because Sodium 0.5.x and below do not support the Fabric Rendering API which some mods such as Continuity use. This is why you'll see ''java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.fabricmc.fabric.api.renderer.v1.Renderer.meshBuilder()" because the return value of "net.fabricmc.fabric.api.renderer.v1.RendererAccess.getRenderer()" is null'' in your log. Add the [[https://modrinth.com/mod/indium|Indium]] mod to resolve this, or update Sodium to 0.6.

 ==== Text has been replaced by squares/tofus in my instance with Sodium ====
-This is most likely because a mod requires Indium or Sodium 0.6.
+This is usually because you have Sodium 0.5.x and below and do not have Indium, or because your versions of Iris and Sodium do not match.
+==== My mods aren't being loaded! ====
+  * Make sure you do not use the Essential Installer or Iris Installer. You can get those mods from Modrinth and CurseForge and put them in your mods folder like any other mod. Use the [[https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/|Fabric Installer]] to get Fabric Loader.
+  * Make sure your mods are located in the "mods" folder in your game directory. The default mods folder on Minecraft Launcher for Windows is "%appdata%\.minecraft\mods".
+  * Make sure you have the Fabric versions of mods.
+  * Check your log or Mod Menu to see which mods are loaded.
+  * Check that Fabric is loaded by checking the bottom left corner of the title screen, or your log.
+      * If it's vanilla, re-run the Fabric Installer. Make sure you're launching the Fabric installation and that the version of the installation is Fabric Loader.
