📋 About This Mod
Overview
Short Rest Cooldown adds a configurable cooldown that blocks short resting for a certain period of time. This makes it harder for players to simultaneously short rest during multiplayer sessions.
It is fully configurable via MCM, but works out of the box, with a 2-second cooldown by default. You can also make it only work when having other players with you.
Installation
