Drag Things — v0.5.0 Changelog

Added

Smoother & Better Feel

• Items now have improved movement effects:

  • Adaptive bobbing that changes depending on speed.
  • Squash & Stretch effects when moving and hitting surfaces.
  • Camera FOV shake on strong impacts (does not affect aiming).

• Dragged items that get stuck now smoothly catch up instead of teleporting.

• Grabbable mobs show a glowing outline when you look at them.

  • Mobs cannot move or attack.

  • Enable/disable mob dragging.

  • Customize allowed or blocked entities.
