Credits
- Huge shoutout to robotkoer for creating and maintaining the Fabulously Optimized modpack, as it was the only way I could play Minecraft properly! Without this modpack, I would have never played MC Java, and as a result, never gotten into modding the game.
- Another huge shoutout to Kaupenjoe for his Java Introduction and Minecraft Fabric Modding Tutorial playlists! They're a great resource for anyone who wants to get started with Minecraft modding.
- Thanks a lot to the Fabric community on Discord and GitHub Discussions and to Kaupenjoe's community on Discord for helping me out with the various issues I had when making this mod and tolerating my stupid mistakes.
You may freely use this mod in any modpack, as long as the download remains hosted within the Modrinth ecosystem.
