🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to assign the hotkey in the mod's MCM or config file—it doesn't come pre-bound.
If you're using other mount mods, test the hotkey after installing to ensure no conflicts with existing keybinds.
Use the teleport feature sparingly—it can feel cheaty if you're trying to play realistically.
