Note: After purchasing the mod, there is an issue with CurseForge that can affect ownership. If, for whatever reason, you can’t do anything with the mod after buying it, delete the mod, close the game, wait 5 minutes, relaunch, reinstall, and try again.

Unfortunately, consoles affected by this issue can’t do anything except wait for a fix. If you’re on PC, however, you can submit a ticket to CurseForge.
