Q: Will there be support for 1.21.1 and newer versions?
A: Yes. Updates will come as soon as I finish verifying compatibility and testing.
Q: I found a bug, how do I report it?
A: Either open an issue on the GitHub repo (once it’s public) or DM me directly on Discord: @zeroiwspp.
Q: Where’s the GitHub repo?! 😠
A: The github repo will be made available with version 1.0.2 of the mod. Since the codebase is still a bit of a mess wanna cleanup and ensure a proper codebase release.
Q: Can I further develop from your codebase?
A: Yep! This project is licensed under MIT, so you can modify, fork, or build on it however you like.
Just toss some credit my way if you do ❤️
Q: Can I use the mod with other mods?
