Some Info ℹ️
- You can get help from my Discord Server or creating an issue on GitHub.
- If you for example installed 1.21.11 version of the pack to Minecraft 1.21.11 and it says it is not compatible, don't trust that message. You installed the right one. There was a bit of problems with the version :)
- Better use the datapack because the mod can have problems.
