FAQs

Does this mod change item physics or only visuals?

Only visuals are changed. Items still follow vanilla physics in terms of collision, despawn, and pickup behavior.

Can I use this mod to disable item rotation too?

Currently, the mod focuses on bobbing and count/scale adjustments. Full static control (like disabling rotation) may be added in future updates.

How do I access the settings?

If you’re on Fabric or Quilt, use the Mod Menu integration to access the configuration GUI. On Forge/NeoForge, use the config file in your `.minecraft/config` folder.

Is this mod client-side or does it require server installation?

It is mostly client-side, but in modded multiplayer environments, server and client versions should match for visual consistency.

Can I set custom scale for only specific items?

Yes. The mod allows you to define a custom item scale for specific items via the configuration system useful for heads, ores, or rare drops.
