HCsCR Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if HCsCR is actually working?
Crystals should break noticeably faster on your screen compared to before installing the mod. The effect is most obvious when you have higher ping—combat will feel more responsive and less delayed compared to vanilla Minecraft.
Does this mod work on servers?
Yes, HCsCR is a client-side mod, so it works on any server without requiring the server to install it. The server behavior stays unchanged; only your client processes crystal breaking faster.
Will I get banned for using HCsCR?
HCsCR is designed to be compatible with anti-cheat systems since it doesn't modify server-side behavior or give you unfair advantages over players with low ping. Check your specific server's mod policy to be certain.
Can I use HCsCR with other mods?
HCsCR should work alongside most mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify crystal or combat mechanics. Test it with your modpack to confirm compatibility.
What's the difference between crystal breaking speed and ping reduction?
Crystal breaking speed controls how fast crystals disappear on your client after you hit them, while ping reduction refers to how the mod compensates for network delay so your actions feel more immediate. Both work together to improve responsiveness.
Does HCsCR help if I have low ping?
HCsCR provides the most noticeable benefit to high-ping players, but it also makes crystal combat feel more consistent for everyone by standardizing how quickly crystals break visually on your client.
Why does crystal breaking still feel laggy sometimes?
If you're experiencing lag despite HCsCR, check your FPS and overall game performance first. Extreme server lag or packet loss can still affect combat feel; the mod reduces ping disadvantage but cannot eliminate server-side delays.
Can I adjust how fast crystals break?
Yes—the mod includes settings to customize crystal breaking speed to match your playstyle and ping. Refer to the "Adjust Crystal Breaking Speed to Match Your Playstyle" guide for configuration options.
Does HCsCR work for Anchor PvP too?
Yes, HCsCR improves both Crystal and Anchor PvP by making block breaking feel more responsive. See the "Optimize Anchor PvP Performance with HCsCR" guide for anchor-specific tips.
What should I do if crystals aren't breaking at all?
First, verify the mod is loaded in your client. If crystals still won't break, check the troubleshooting guide "Troubleshoot Unresponsive Crystal Breaking" for common fixes like config resets or mod conflicts.
