Lock On Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I lock on to a mob?
Press your Lock On keybind (default is usually a specific key you can configure) while looking at or near a mob. The mod will automatically select the nearest eligible target within range and display a visual indicator on them.
What's the maximum distance I can lock on from?
You can only lock on to mobs that are within 10 blocks away. The mod will track them beyond this range if they're already locked, but won't select new targets farther than 10 blocks.
How do I switch between targets while locked on?
Press Tab to cycle through nearby valid targets. Each press switches to the next available mob within range.
How do I exit lock on mode?
Press your Lock On keybind again to manually exit, or the mod will automatically exit if your target dies, leaves your line of sight, or you leave the world.
Does lock on work on players in PvP?
Yes, lock on works on other players just like mobs, making it useful for tracking opponents during combat. You can cycle between multiple players with Tab if they're nearby.
Can I change the lock on key?
Yes, open your mod settings or keybind configuration menu and rebind the Lock On key to whatever you prefer.
Does lock on work through walls or obstacles?
No, your target must remain visible. If a mob moves behind a wall or block, lock on will automatically disengage.
Can I lock on to flying mobs or fast-moving targets?
Yes, as long as they stay within 10 blocks and remain visible, lock on will track them. Fast-moving targets may be harder to keep in view, but the mod will maintain the lock as long as line of sight is clear.
Does lock on affect my camera or aiming?
Lock on centers your view on the target, similar to Zelda's system, making it easier to track their movement and aim attacks or spells at them.
Will lock on cause lag or performance issues?
Lock On is generally lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance problems, but performance depends on your system and how many mobs are nearby when you activate it.
