⚠️ Important Disclaimer

Please read before using:

Not 100% Perfect - The dodging mechanic is not foolproof. You will still occasionally be hit by projectiles due to timing, positioning, or complex scenarios.

Server Usage Warning - This mod may be considered cheating on some public multiplayer servers. We strongly recommend:

  • Using it only on local/single-player worlds
  • Checking server rules before use on multiplayer servers
  • Being respectful of server communities and their policies

• Use Responsibly - This mod is intended for enhancing single-player gameplay and should not be used to gain unfair advantages in competitive multiplayer environments.
