FAQ
Q: Why is the player not looking at the position of the crosshair when holding item x?
A: This needs to be configured using the config options adaptive_crosshair_hold_items or adaptive_crosshair_use_items.
Q: Why is the player not rendered correctly when using shader pack x?
A: This is caused by player transparency effects of Shoulder Surfing Reloaded. Either disable them in the config (adjust_player_transparency) and restart your game or report this to the authors of the shader pack.
Q: Can you port feature x to version y?
A: No.
Q: Can you port this to quilt, liteloader, rift, etc.?
A: No.
Q: Can I add this to my modpack?
