FAQ
Will you port this to any other modloaders?
As of version 2.0.0, the mod is available for both Fabric and NeoForge. Other loaders are not currently planned, but may be considered in the future.
Can I use this in a modpack?
Absolutely!
Your textures kind of suck.
That's not really a question. Also, ouch. I mean, you aren't wrong, but I am a programmer, not an artist. So if you or someone you know is interested in making better ones, I welcome the contribution!
