- Opening Inventories
- And more!
⚠️ Disclaimer: Singleplayer & servers w/ the mod installed
- Due to this technically being a cheat, in order to comply with Modrinth's rules, the mod will not be available on multiplayer servers without the mod installed. You can find Modrinths rules here.
✏️ Quick Notes:
- There's a hotkey in your keybind settings. This can be used to toggle the mod.
- The "always" option will make it so you always float in water.
