Hero's Anchor Optimizer
What does it do?
- Optimization that fixes waiting on the server after anchor explosion before anchor block is removed. Replaces it with a visibly different 'fake' anchor (that can be replaced like a fern) to not change functionality of airplacing. This allows you to not have to wait for the server to be able to place another block in the same place.
Is this allowed?
** Allowed on many major servers such as:**
Vanilla+
PVP Legacy
USPVP
MCPVP
DonutSMP
LeoneMC
Vanilla (Crystal PVP) Tier list
but please ask before using on any servers that aren't on this list or haven't explicitly allowed it.
How to use?
- Plop into your .minecraft/mods folder
- Make sure to have fabric api (for versions <1.21.11)
I want to change the fake anchor texture
- You can do this with a pack. You can either change the model in
assets\herosanchoroptimizer\models\block\fake_anchor.json
or change individual textures in
assets\herosanchoroptimizer\models\block\fake_anchor_side.png and/or assets\herosanchoroptimizer\models\block\fake_anchor_vertical.png
Compatibility
- Should work with any mods that don't edit an anchor's functionality.
