Safe Anchor Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on Safe Anchor Mod?
The mod is always active once installed. To use it, simply hold glowstone in your active hand, then place a respawn anchor—it will charge automatically. If you're not holding glowstone, anchor placement works normally.
Why isn't my anchor charging automatically?
Make sure you have glowstone in your active hand (not your offhand) before placing the anchor. The mod only activates when glowstone is held, so check your inventory first.
Can I use Safe Anchor while building normally?
Yes—the mod only triggers when you're holding glowstone. When you switch to other blocks, your placements work exactly as normal, so building is never disrupted.
Does my camera always snap back after charging?
Yes, your view automatically returns to where you were looking before the anchor charged, keeping your focus on the fight instead of the block interaction.
Will Safe Anchor charge anchors I placed before the mod?
No, the mod only targets anchors you place while holding glowstone after the mod is active. Previously placed anchors are not affected.
Can I charge multiple anchors at once?
The mod charges each anchor individually as you place it. Place multiple anchors in sequence while holding glowstone, and each one will auto-charge as it's placed.
Does Safe Anchor work on servers?
Safe Anchor is a client-side mod, so it works on your game client. Server compatibility depends on whether the server allows client-side mods—check your server's mod policy.
What happens if I run out of glowstone mid-fight?
If you drop below the glowstone needed to charge an anchor, the mod won't activate for that placement. You'll need to gather more glowstone or switch to a different strategy.
Does Safe Anchor affect my FPS or cause lag?
No, the mod operates entirely on the client side and completes all actions in a single game tick, so it has minimal performance impact.
Can I disable Safe Anchor without uninstalling it?
Simply don't hold glowstone in your active hand—the mod won't activate, and your anchor placements will work like normal Minecraft.
