🙋♂️ FAQ:
Q: Will you backport to any older versions?
A: No. I prefer to keep my attention on the latest versions.
Q: Does this work on version ____?
A: Try it and see! If it does, please comment so I can mark it.
Q: Is the Forge version really a beta?
A: No. I mark the Fabric versions as 🟩Release, and the Forge versions as 🟦Beta. I won't upload a beta release here.
Q: I'm a little lost, and there's no wiki. How do I progress?
A: Progression is mostly tracked in the Advancements tab. Hint: These are end-game weapons... you must beat the game first.
Q: This mod feels a bit overpowered/underpowered. Is there a config?
A: There is no config at this time. As I am relatively new to mod making, creating a config that works with Fabric and Forge is quite difficult. I'm hopeful in the future, there will be a config. If you have comments about this mod, please join the Discord and share your thoughts.

Ancient Vessels server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Ancient Vessels – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Ancient Vessels consumes the most tick time.
