📋 About This Mod
I don't plan to add more features at the moment but support the ones already in. It feels a little bloated at the moment. I appreciate every
feedback whether which features are used or have some bugs.
27. March 2022
-Fixed visual bugs when backed items took out of inventory
-Long pings should now work in multiplayer if both have the mod installed
23. March 2022
-Added requested feature with a separated carry weight skill
18. March 2022
-Reworked the behavior of the backed items
-Ship changes: additional speed now based on players onboard instead of attached ones (I have troubles to detect if other players are attached atm.)
Feel free to give me some feedback in the comment section. It's my first release, so I'm aware that it may contain bugs.
Full list of modifications
The settings can be enabled or disabled individually.
Backed items:
- I added two variation for the behavior of backed items. The first version pulls both (ex. sword and shield) if one of dem is selected from the hotbar. The second version (experimental) keeps both weapons on back until its overwritten with R. so if I have a sword and a shield on back, I can change to bow and the weapons stay on back. So if I pull my sword, the shield comes automatic with it. Only one of these can be enabled at a time.
Minor settings:
- Friendly fire enabled on login
- Delete items in inventory with Ctrl + Alt + Rightclick (there are better mods for this)
- Zoom out one level on minimap on login
Explore radius:
- Change the radius on land (factor can be changed)
- Change the radius on boat (factor can be changed)
Skill improvements:
- Falling damage reduction on improved jump skill
- Falling height till damage on improved jump skill
- Ore and Wood weight reduction on improved mining and wood cutting skills (list of affected items can be set individually)
- Max carry weight increase with improved run skill
- Arrow weight reduction on improved archery skill
Carry weight skill:
- Adds a new skill for carry weight which can be trained while running, swimming and jumping with more than 80% of max weight filled in inventory
- Threshold and which skills trains the new skill can be changed/disabled separatly
- Disabled by default
Ship changes (experimental):
- Added some forward force for each additional player attached to the ship. The idea is to have more speed because more players "rowing".
General changes:
- Long pings -> pings that can stay for the configured amount of seconds.
- Pet healing -> pets can be healed an amount of percent by interacting with it
- Wolfs tame time change by a given factor (still need more testing on this)
