MORIA I cannot find an entrance
Search caves in newly explored parts of the Overworld. If you added Moria to an existing world, an administrator can use /moria retrofit to look for gate locations nearby. Check /moria status, then /moria locate when the search finishes.
A command is unavailable
Moria commands require administrator permissions. Check that the mod is installed on the server, then copy the command from the command guide. /moria survey needs a radius, such as /moria survey 0.
A search points to the wrong place
Changing generation settings can make /moria find disagree with structures created earlier. Restore the settings you used when you started that world.
A setting prevents the server from starting
The error message names the setting that needs fixing. Find it in the configuration table and check its allowed values. Use true or false for switches, and whole numbers where required. Save the file and restart.
Ruins are missing
Check ruins=true and make sure the chance for the structure you want is above zero. Structures need enough room and suitable terrain, even when their chance is set to 100%. Explore a new area after changing generation settings.
Enemies are missing
Check that the difficulty is not Peaceful. If a dwarf spawner is quiet, move closer and check for dwarves already nearby. On servers, check that dwarf waves and natural Basalisk spawns are enabled in the settings.
The king’s reward chest is missing
Defeat the king who guards that throne room. A king summoned with commands will not open its treasury. Keep the centre of the treasury and the space above the chest clear of blocks. On a server, also check that mob drops are enabled.
If someone has already looted the chest, it will stay empty unless Lootr provides separate rewards or an administrator resets the encounter.
Bonus items are missing
Install a compatible mod that provides those items. Most bonuses appear by chance, so they will not be in every chest. If you use a custom datapack, check its format, run /reload and try an unopened chest. See modpack customization.
Waystones are missing
Check that Waystones and its required mods match your Minecraft version and loader. After adding them, look in a newly discovered village or throne room.
Shaders show clouds underground
Disable the shader pack and check whether the clouds disappear. Moria works without shaders. If the problem occurs only with a shader enabled, check that pack’s cloud settings.
Exploration sounds are quiet
Raise Minecraft’s ambient sound slider. On a server, check that exploration_ambience is enabled and ambience_volume is above zero. These sounds play occasionally and pause near a living king.
Reporting a problem
Include your Minecraft version, loader, Moria version and other installed mods. Describe what happened and where. Add the relevant error from the game or server log, and mention any settings you changed.
