This project aims to fix a bug in the 'ProjectL' mod, created by 'OrangeMarshall'. The ProjectL mod tries to correct the player's head position, but it can't keep up with very fast movements according to your aim.
BetterHitDetection already has the same function as ProjectL but improved with some fixes and enhancements (to make this mod work properly, delete ProjectL from your mods folder).
