About this Mod
Do you have what it takes to pick up items without directly looking at them? Introducing 'Evasive Items`, a fun and strategic new gameplay mechanic that adds an exciting twist to traditional item collection. In this mod, items on the ground will move away from the player if they are being directly looked at, forcing you to get creative with your item-gathering techniques. Can you outwit the evasive items and come out on top?
The mod comes with configuration options like:
- onlyEffects (locks moving items behind an effect that can be given to a player)
- moveStrength (the strength at which items move when looked at (defaults to 0.14))
- playSound (If the tip toe sound should be played when the items move)
- soundVolume (the volume of the sound which can be a value between 0 and 1 (defaults to 0.05))
