Some player abilities

- Press ALTGR or execute /crawl to enter crawl mode.
- You can watch a video tutorial on some abilities I didn't document here. Note that this modpack has changed some keybinds that show up in the video for conflict reasons.
🔧 Notes for server admins
- This modpack will function in a dedicated server only after you remove Mod Loading Screen from the server-side, since it's a client-only mod.
- By default, players do not have permission to use the priority or broadcast features of Plasmo Voice. You need to manually grant them the respective permissions or import the template permission file I bundled with the modpack. You can execute
/lp import azura.gz --replacefrom the console to get everything working. - If you applied the previous LuckPerms template, all players can now also toggle the real-time MSPT (server lag) indicator by pressing F6. Previously, this was restricted to operators.
- As with any modpack, you acknowledge that it's safest to stick to one modpack version. Updating the version installed on your server always involves a risk of misbehavior and corruption. Although this shouldn't be a realistic issue with minor updates, I'll mention it in the changelog if an update is known to be incompatible with previous worlds. Ultimately, the responsibility is yours.
- Dedicated servers may include additional content under
/automodpack/host-modpack/main/to be automatically downloaded and applied to clients. This functionality is offered by AutoModpack and requires all clients to specify the fingerprint of the server on initial join. This fingerprint can be queried from the console with/automodpack host fingerprint. - AutoModpack has been configured in a way that doesn't send the whole modpack to players, but instead only forces specific overrides to be applied to players. Importantly, because of AutoModpack's current limitations, the client will need to restore an override file to the state defined on the server if it gets altered in any way. This will result in strong compliance, but it can create implications when used on frequently modified files.
- Non-operators will only see a select few commands in tab-completions to enable a decluttered and clean experience. You can tweak this client-side blacklist found at
/config/commandremover.txt. These commands would be hidden from operators as well, since the mod doesn't distinguish between players. - You may find my Minecraft username in some configuration files, since this modpack was initially developed for my personal use. I left these in for the convenience of using this modpack on my setups, but they shouldn't realistically affect your setups at all. However, feel free to remove the leftovers if you wish.
