Swap Helper Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on Swap Helper?
Open your Controls menu, find the Swap Helper toggle keybind (it's customizable), and press it during gameplay to enable the mod. You'll see on-screen text confirming when MaceSwap is ON.
Where should I put my mace in my hotbar?
Place your mace in any hotbar slot from 1 to 9—the mod will find it automatically. Your main hand should hold a sword or axe for the mod to work.
Can I use Swap Helper with weapons other than a mace?
The mod is designed specifically for mace swapping, but it also supports StunSlam attacks when you're holding an axe in your main hand. Other weapons won't trigger the automatic swap.
Why isn't Swap Helper working when I attack?
Check that you have a mace in slots 1–9, a sword or axe in your main hand, and the mod is toggled ON (check your keybind). If it's still not working, see the Troubleshoot guide for more steps.
Does Swap Helper work on multiplayer servers?
The mod is intended for singleplayer or private survival worlds only—public servers often ban automatic combat tools, so use it only in environments where you control the rules.
Can I change the keybind for toggling Swap Helper?
Yes, open your Controls menu and search for the Swap Helper keybind to reassign it to any key you prefer.
What happens if I don't have a mace in my hotbar?
The mod won't perform a swap if it can't find a mace in slots 1–9, so your attack will proceed normally with your main-hand weapon.
Does Swap Helper add any UI elements or menus to my screen?
No, the mod runs quietly in the background and only shows brief on-screen text when toggled on or off—there are no extra menus or overlays.
Can I use Swap Helper while switching between different weapons?
Yes, you can change your main-hand weapon (sword or axe) at any time, and Swap Helper will continue to work as long as your mace stays in your hotbar and the mod is enabled.
Does Swap Helper affect my game performance?
The mod is lightweight and runs in the background without noticeable performance impact, so it won't slow down your game or cause lag.
