🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you've actually obtained the Deflecting Hardtear in-game before using this mod, or the toggle item won't have anything to activate.
If you're using a mod manager like Mod Engine 2, just drop the mod's files into the 'mod' folder—no extra setup needed.
Since the mod is updated for 1.16.1, verify your game version matches to avoid compatibility issues.
