About this Mod
Bridge Guard: A Speed Bridging Mod

📋 Overview:
🎮 Multiplayer
This mod works in both single-player and multiplayer!
Important: Confirm, that you are allowed to use this mod on the multiplayer server you are playing on, as it may be considered cheating.
❓ What It Does
This mod prevents you from falling if you either:
- Place a block too early or
- forget to place it entirely.
However, it does not prevent you from falling if you fail to sneak properly.
🚀 Getting Started
- Bind the "Toggle Bridge Guard" key from the "Bridgeguard" category to a key of your choice.
- Click that key (a text should now tell you whether you switched the mod on or off)
- Have fun with the mod!
🔍 How It Works
- If you attempt to place the block too early, you will click the top of the target block, which means the block will not be placed, thus you will fall. (But the Mod will save you)
Case 2:
- If you unsneak before placing the block, you will most likely fall. (But the Mod will save you)
Other Scenarios:
- If you sneak too late, you will walk off the edge. (You will not be saved)
(Note: This is not a safewalk mod.)
⚙️ Technical:
❌ Does it not work like you want it to?
The Mod has to be toggled
