- Restart the game and launcher – This fixes a surprising number of issues.
- Confirm your Minecraft version – Stormhold is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) only.
- Do not remove mods – Missing or altered mods can cause crashes, missing recipes, or broken progression.
- Check RAM allocation – Make sure you have at least 6–8 GB of RAM allocated.
- Disable shaders temporarily – If you’re experiencing crashes or extreme lag, shaders are often the cause.
- Verify the issue is reproducible – Try to recreate the problem to confirm it wasn’t a one-time glitch.
Check Logs and Errors
If the game crashes or fails to launch:- Open the latest.log or crash-report file
- Look for clear error messages or missing dependencies
- Do not delete logs before asking for help
