Compatibility & Settings
FOV & Camera Distance
This mod uses a narrow FOV (default: 30) to flatten perspective for an isometric look.
- Performance: Extreme zoom-out with low FOV increases render load.
Embeddium & Shaders
The smooth Fade Transition is enabled by default:
- Recommended: Keep Graphics on "Fancy" (and Embeddium Performance: "Always Defer Chunk Updates" Off).
- If playing on "Fast" Graphics: Please disable Fade in this mod's config to prevent visual glitches.
- Shaders: Fade is incompatible with most major shaders (disable Fade when using shaders). (Compatible shaders: MakeUp - Ultra Fast / Karma Shader Cartoon Style).
Other Mods
- Entity Culling: Incompatible (causes entities and tile entities to vanish).
- Sound Physics Remastered: Audio calculates from the camera rather than the player.
- Epic Fight: Set
camera_mode = "ALWAYS_BACK"inconfig/epicfight-client.toml. - Flerovium: Distant sound culling may mute audio when zoomed out.
Known Issues & Limitations
- Elytra Flight: This mod does not support elytra. The top-down perspective is designed for ground-based gameplay, and camera tracking or controls will not function correctly during flight.
Recommended Mods
⚠️ Note on Cramped Structures:
Navigating tight, cramped vanilla structures (such as default village houses) is not recommended. We suggest using structure mods with larger interiors.
- Better Villages: Overhauls and expands villages with larger buildings.
- Passable Foliage / Traversable Leaves: Allows walking through leaf blocks.
- Countered's Terrain Slabs / slab topographic: Places slabs to flatten the terrain.
