⚠️ Important Notes

KB THROUGH THE COBWEBS FOR THE ARROWS TO MAKE THEM SMOOTH DURING THE BOW BOOST OVER THE COBWEBS
“editable” – this allows you to block the block that is there when you try to bowboost over them.

settings:
  moved-wrongly-threshold: 0.5         # default 0.0625 is too strict for custom boosts
  moved-too-quickly-threshold: 2000.0  # raise a lot: prevents rubberband on high speeds
