Handling Combat, Mining, and Consumption in Close Quarters

Mining and Striking Near Obstacles

When working in tight caves or strip mines, your tools pull inward, but active tool usage adjusts the effect automatically.

• Mining Blocks: Approach a block closely with a pickaxe or other tool. When you begin swinging or breaking the block, the mod lowers the retraction effect so your tool clearly strikes the target block rather than staying pinned to your screen.
• Independent Hand Handling: If you hold a tool in your main hand and a block or torch in your offhand against a wall, only the swinging hand lowers its retraction while the offhand remains retracted away from the wall.

Aiming Bows and Eating Food

Precise interactions pause the retraction effect entirely to preserve your view:

• Drawing a Bow: Stand near a wall or mob and hold right-click to draw your bow. The retraction animation pauses completely while aiming so your sightline and weapon alignment stay clear and predictable.
• Consuming Food and Potions: While pressed against an obstacle, hold right-click with food or a drinkable item. The retraction pauses during the eating sequence and smoothly transitions back to being retracted once the action finishes.
