👁‍🗨 Q) I downloaded the mods, but they aren't showing up

📢 A.1) If Mod is Custom Cosmetics Skin : You don’t need to add in Server ModList or Activate Mod → Just Download and go to → Check Custom Cosmetics Tab
- But if you are in Official or UnOfficial Server and mod not showing in CustomCosmetics Tab
  - Some Custom Cosmetics may not be available on Official Server if they haven't been approved for the Whitelist.
  - If a skin is visible in Single Player but not on a server, it means the skin is not Whitelisted and cannot be used.
    - If you are Unofficial Server, then you can check this settings!

  - (Whitelist approval is decided by WC after reviewing various factors, so it is not something modders can control)
📢A.2) If Mod is General Mod : If mod is not a Skin (Custom cosmetics skin), you need to active(SinglePlay & Non-Dedicated) or add in Server(UnOfficial) ModList
- Usually General Mod is not available in Official Server
