Okay, so I am trying to add something in my mod that does not depend on the other, but requires the other to be loaded.

I get a crash error about a static instance of the other mod.

Bump.

No, as in the extra FEATURES require that mod. It works standalone, but has features that activate when the other mod is loaded.

 

I have an if(Loader.isModLoaded()) statement that detects that mod, but the crash says something about a static instance of the other mod.

You should post the crash.

You need to supply your mod id to @Instance if you have more than one mod in the development environment otherwise FML get's confused.

As in, change the mod id variable in @Instance to the mod id of the other mod?

Also, BUMP.

Ah, I think I get it.

And it was 23 minutes, at least. Close, but not exactly.
