Ensure Mod Compatibility with Mixin Helpers

Why Mods Conflict Over Rendering

When multiple mods try to modify how players render (capes, skins, animations), they can clash if they don't coordinate properly. This causes crashes, visual glitches, or one mod's changes to cancel out another's.

How Insecticide Handles This

Insecticide provides an abstract mixin helper—a tool that lets mods modify player rendering in a way that doesn't break other mods' changes. It acts as a middleman between different rendering systems.

What this means for you:

1. Mods that use Insecticide's mixin helper won't crash when loaded together

2. Multiple cape/cosmetic mods can coexist without one overriding the other

3. Player rendering stays stable even with heavy mod stacks

4. Mod developers can build on Insecticide's compatibility layer instead of reinventing solutions

You don't configure this directly—it works behind the scenes. If you're running several mods that modify player appearance or rendering, Insecticide prevents the conflicts that would normally cause crashes or visual corruption.
