Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the old shield animation?
The mod automatically reverts to the old shield animation once installed and loaded. No configuration is needed—simply equip a shield in third person view and you'll see the old arm position.
Can I switch back to the new animation without uninstalling the mod?
Yes, check your mod configuration files for a toggle option that lets you switch between old and new animations without removing the mod entirely.
Does this mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, this is a client-side only mod, so it works on any multiplayer server without requiring the server to have it installed. Other players will see your shield normally while you see the old animation.
Will other players see my old shield animation?
No, other players will see the standard new shield animation because this mod only affects your client. It's purely visual on your end.
