CREDIT - THANKS
This mod was made possible by the help and support of several amazing people.
- Konsyliarz42 - Created the Simply Swords - Vanilla Style resource pack that serves as the base & reference for the textures.
- Sweenuss/Sweeney - Creator of Simply Swords, this mod wouldn't exist without their support.
- Chronos_Sacaria - Co-founder of Timefall Development (responsible for such mods as MCDW), a huge help with code rewrite.
- Daedelus - Creator of Better Combat, helped with adding support for their mod. (They're awesome, give them a cookie.)
- LostLandFound - Artist, tester and friend. This mod owes it's existence to their hard work adapting Konsyliarz' textures.
- fzzyhmstrs - Amazing member of the community. (Check our their stuff.)
- PhantomProgrammer - Artist. Made the textures for Biomes You'll Go and Deeper and Darker support.
DISCLAMER - Whilst this mod is an addon for Simply Swords, it is not associated with Simply Swords or Timefall Development. I do not claim ownership of any of the original content from Simply Swords. All textures and models featured in this mod are independent content.
AI DISCLAMER - This mod contains no AI generated art, textures, sounds, ect. Once again thanks to the talented and supprtive community for those. This project does use AI coding tools to speed up and improve development.
