Frequently Asked Questions

Does DoomCraft include Doom or any WAD?

No.

You must provide your own legally obtained WAD files.

Can I use FreeDoom?

DoomCraft can load recognized FreeDoom IWAD filenames. Compatibility still depends on the exact files and additional PWADs.

Why does the mod need native executables?

LZDoom is a native engine. DoomCraft runs a platform-specific build outside the Java Virtual Machine and captures its framebuffer.

Is the native engine inside the Minecraft JVM?

No. DoomCraft does not use JNI for the engine process.

Why can only one TV run?

Each TV engine consumes CPU, memory, audio, and file resources. Version 1.0.0 limits the client to one active native process.

Why does the TV pause when I walk away?

The distance system reduces resource use and preserves the session.

Why is the TV off beyond eight blocks?

The native process is stopped to release RAM. A save state is preserved when possible.

How do I save?

Press Home while controlling the TV.

How do I load?

Press End to load the latest manual save associated with the current TV.

Why can I not type a save name?

Complete text input forwarding is not implemented in version 1.0.0.

Why did my save disappear after moving the TV?

Breaking and replacing the TV creates a new UUID. The old files remain on disk but are not automatically linked to the new TV.

Can I remap Insert, Home, and End?

Yes. Open Minecraft controls and find the DoomCraft category.

Does DoomCraft support controllers?

Minecraft key remapping may cover some controller integrations provided by other mods. Native joystick input is disabled by default. Controller support is not guaranteed in 1.0.0.

Can DoomCraft run on a server?

DoomCraft has client-side native runtime requirements. Multiplayer behavior may depend on the modpack and server configuration. The world seed may be unavailable to the client.

Can I include DoomCraft in a modpack?

Yes, under the conditions in Project Policy.

Is a donation required?

No.

Where should I report a bug?

https://github.com/ChromusMaster/DoomCraft/issues

Where should I request a feature?

Use the same issue tracker and explain the use case.

Is every WAD supported?

No. WADs may depend on different source-port behavior, load order, scripts, or engine assumptions.
