[Wien] does dftd3 not work with mBJ

Hello,

When mBJ is specified with XC_MBJ in case.in0, ​the total energy is calculated with LDA (grep for :POT in case.scf).  There exist no dftd3 parameters for LDA. You have to specify another functional (e.g., PBE) for the energy in case.in0:
EX_PBE EC_PBE VX_MBJ VC_LDA

Besides, I see no interest in combining dftd3 and mBJ. mBJ is for the band gap, while dftd3 is for the geometry and cohesive energy.
What is your goal?

Dear Wien2k Users
Merry Christmas!

Could someone please confirm that dftd3 does not support  mBJ?
I can run it with PBE but with mBJ it does not work.

Thank you in advance
