💡 FAQ
Is this client-side?
Yes, nothing here is required by the server. Two exceptions worth knowing: Simple Voice Chat only works if the server runs it too, and No Chat Reports can't strip signatures on a vanilla server.
Allowed on big servers?
Usually, but check the rules. Some networks restrict zoom mods.
Can't join a server after installing?
Servers with enforce-secure-profile enabled will reject you while No Chat Reports is active. Remove that jar and try again.
Low FPS with shaders?
Switch to the bundled Miniature Shader, or turn shaders off entirely in Iris. Everything else in the pack still runs.
Crashed on launch?
Make sure you're on Fabric 26.2 with the latest loader, and that Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are both present.
Will it be updated?
Yes, alongside Fabric and Minecraft updates.
Thanks for downloading. Still actively improving this one. ❤️
