⚠️ 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.
