🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you build the collector within range of a tarpit—check the placement preview for a valid spot.
If you're on a dedicated server, ensure the mod is installed on both client and server to avoid desync.
Test the collector in a single-player world first to see how fast it gathers tar before relying on it in multiplayer.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Simple and focused: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Decent community traction with 166 endorsements and 7.8k downloads.
- Recently updated, so likely compatible with current game version.
👎 Cons
- No installation instructions or dependency info provided by the author.
- Limited to a single function—if you don't need tar collection, this mod is useless.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on how it looks or works.
