Yes, the keybinding lets you adjust intensity directly while playing, so you can tune it mid-fight or mid-parkour. Check your key binds if the default key conflicts with another mod.
Does BetterHurtCam work on servers and in multiplayer?
Yes, it is a client-side mod, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. Other players will not see any difference in your camera behavior.

Since it only changes your own camera visuals and not gameplay mechanics, most servers permit it, but always check the specific server's rules. Some strict anti-cheat setups may flag any client mod, so verify before using it in ranked play.

It generally works alongside performance and shader mods because it only touches hurt camera logic, not rendering. If you see conflicts, test with shaders disabled to isolate the cause.

This usually happens when the config file cannot be written, often due to a read-only folder or a mod conflict overwriting settings. Check that your instance's config directory is writable and that no other camera mod is fighting for the same values.

No, it only modifies camera bobbing values and adds a small config screen, so the performance impact is negligible. Any FPS drops you see are almost certainly from another mod.

NoHurtCam only lets you turn the hurt camera effect off, while BetterHurtCam lets you disable it, keep it, or set any intensity in between. It also adds a keybinding and an in-game config screen for quick adjustments.
