* Removed the previous single-layout entity-management workflow. * Removed persistent multiplayer approval between server sessions. * Removed target information while another game interface is open. * Removed support for keeping an invalid locked target active. * Removed outdated default preset behavior from older configuration revisions. ### Security * AutoAim continues to require explicit server-side opt-in for multiplayer use. * A multiplayer server must advertise the `autoaim:server_opt_in` networking capability before AutoAim can be enabled. * The client checks for server support before applying aim rotation. * Servers opt in by installing a compatible AutoAim server component that registers the required capability. * The server capability acts only as an opt-in marker and does not control attacks or player rotation. * AutoAim does not send an opt-in payload merely to activate its features. * AutoAim is automatically disabled when joining an unsupported multiplayer server. * AutoAim cannot be enabled when the current multiplayer server has not opted in. * Optional confirmation is shown before enabling AutoAim on a supported multiplayer server. * Multiplayer approval applies only to the current session. * Multiplayer approval and detected server capability are cleared after disconnecting. * AutoAim does not include automatic attacks or clicks. * AutoAim does not manipulate attack packets. * AutoAim does not manipulate rotation packets. * AutoAim does not control server-side hit detection. * AutoAim does not include anti-cheat bypass features. * AutoAim does not attempt to hide its operation from servers. * AutoAim does not provide permission bypasses. * AutoAim does not target through walls when the line-of-sight requirement is enabled. * External Donate and Bug Report links use Minecraft’s confirmation screen before opening. * Malformed configuration files are backed up before safe defaults are restored. * Configuration values are normalized and limited to supported ranges before use. * Players remain responsible for following the rules of every multiplayer server. ### Notes * AutoAim provides camera assistance only. * AutoAim does not automatically attack, click, or use items. * AutoAim retains the multiplayer opt-in system introduced in version 1.0.1. * A compatible server-side component is required for multiplayer use. * The dedicated server component only advertises support; it does not perform aim calculations. * Singleplayer and integrated local servers do not require multiplayer opt-in. * Multiplayer approval is reset after leaving the server. * Enabling or disabling AutoAim with the toggle key during a session is not automatically written to the configuration file. * Permanent settings changes are saved through the **Apply** button. * Ranged aim assistance currently supports bows and charged crossbows. * Generic modded ranged weapons are not automatically supported unless they behave as a supported bow or crossbow type. * Supported melee weapons include swords, axes, spears, and tridents. * Melee weapon detection uses the explicitly supported item list. * Other held items and an empty hand require the optional **Any Item** setting. * Bow assistance can be limited to active weapon use. * A charged crossbow remains eligible while the **Bow Use** requirement is enabled. * Ranged prediction considers target movement and projectile drop. * Ranged prediction is not a complete projectile-physics simulation. * Prediction does not account for every form of drag, collision, shooter movement, or modded projectile gravity. * Target line-of-sight checks can be enabled through **Visible Only**. * Blocked entities are never selected. * Priority entities receive a selection advantage but must still pass all normal validity checks. * Target locking only locks the currently tracked target and does not search for a new one. * The target outline uses Minecraft’s normal glowing appearance. * Custom outline colors are not currently available. * Target notifications display one message at a time. * Target information is hidden while another interface is open. * Configuration hot reloading is not currently supported. * Existing configuration files are migrated automatically where possible. * Invalid configuration files are moved to an `autoaim.json.broken` backup when possible. * Older compatibility fields may remain in the configuration to support migration. * English and Indonesian are included; Minecraft’s selected language controls which translation is displayed. * Keybinds can be changed through Minecraft’s standard Controls menu. * Available features and behavior remain consistent across supported AutoAim builds. * Minecraft, loader, API, and Java requirements depend on the specific AutoAim file being downloaded. * AutoAim 2.0.0 builds include both client and dedicated-server entrypoints where required. * Backing up the existing configuration before updating is recommended.
