## \u2728 Features \u2728<\/p>\n
**1. Adjustable Speed Nerf**<\/p>\n
Baby Zombies are known for their insane speed. **NerfJockey** allows server owners to precisely reduce their movement speed using a multiplier. No more outrunning you to the ends of the Earth!<\/p>\n
**2. Enlarged Hitbox Fix (The Game Changer)**<\/p>\n
The number one complaint is how hard they are to hit. Our innovative fix attaches an invisible, larger proxy entity to the zombie, making your swings **connect reliably**, even though the mob is still visually small.<\/p>\n
* Reliable Hits: No more missing swings\u2014you hit what you see!
\n * Seamless Integration: The proxy silently follows the zombie using a dedicated asynchronous task for perfect tracking.<\/p>\n
**3. Adjustable Follow Range Nerf**<\/p>\n
Control how far these pests can spot you. Reduce their aggression radius to give players more time to react and escape before a chase even starts.<\/p>\n
