Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Whimscape on my server?

Yes.

Can I use Whimscape in my videos/streams?

Yes.

Can I put Whimscape in my modpack?

Yes.

Can I create and share my own mod support add-ons for Whimscape?

Yes.

Can you add support for [mod]?

For any mod with more than a few assets: I probably won't be able to get to it. The list of mods I'd like to support is ever-growing.

For a popular mod with very few assets, or a mod that causes loading errors, open an issue on the tracker.

Can I port Whimscape to Bedrock/another game?

No.

Do you take commissions?

No.

Issues?

Please report bugs on the Whimscape issue tracker on GitHub. In other places I'm likely to miss reports or see them much later.
