Will I backport this mod?
Probably not, but maybe. If it's requested then I'm more likely to get around to it. Like all my mods, I created this collection of features to provide some tweaks I enjoy using on my personal Hardcore world, so things like proper multiplayer compatibility and NeoForge support are not always guaranteed or fully tested.
That being said, does it work on dedicated servers?
While none of the features have been fully tested in a server environment, the mod itself is fully client-side and there shouldn't be any issues. However, some of these tweaks may be considered cheating on servers, and note that I am not responsible for any punishments for violation of server rules using this mod!
