Sandboxels Mods Not Working? Troubleshooting

Filename typos, case sensitivity, conflicts, browser issues and outdated mods — checked in order, with what to try next.

Introduction

Most "mod not working" problems are filename, conflict or browser problems, in that order. Work through this guide in order, changing one thing at a time, instead of reinstalling everything at once.

1. Check the filename first

Copy the filename from the mod page. Check capitalisation, check the .js ending, and check for a space before or after it. Re-enter it in the Mod Manager, press Enter, and refresh. This alone fixes most reports.

2. Check for conflicts

Disable all other mods, test this one alone, then re-enable the others one at a time. Mods that change the same elements can conflict, and the conflict may only appear when both are enabled together.

3. Check the browser

Update your browser to a current version. Glow is listed as Chrome only, so if you are using another browser for that mod, that is the expected explanation — not a bug in this directory. Try a clean browser profile or a different browser to rule out an extension blocking the game.

4. Check for an outdated mod

Game updates can break mods. Check the original source listing for a note about a newer version or a game update. This site's verification date is when this site checked the listing, not a mod release date, so it cannot tell you whether a mod is up to date with today's game.

5. Collect useful details before asking for help

Note the exact filename, your browser and version, which other mods were enabled, and what you expected to see versus what happened. A creator can help with that list; they cannot help with "it doesn't work" alone.

What not to do

  • Do not download a "fixed" copy from an unknown site. Use the official list and repository.
  • Do not enable ten mods at once to "test" — you will not know which one failed.
  • Do not assume this directory is wrong because a mod broke after a game update. Check the source first.

Frequently Asked Questions

I typed the filename correctly and it still does not work. What next?

Test it alone with no other mods enabled, then check the browser and the original source listing for update notes.

Does clearing my browser data help?

Sometimes, if a stale save or cache is involved, but save anything important first — clearing data can lose saves.

Where do I report a broken mod?

Through the original source or repository, with the exact filename and the details listed above.
