# WLC Mod
\n## \ud83d\udcd6 What is this mod?
\nThis is a complementary mod to go with the World’s Longest Course (WLC) map\/server!<\/p>\n
While you _aren’t required_ to use this mod to drive on WLC, it is currently _required if_ you want to get OneBoat Completions while on the server. (And using the mod gives better quality of life, to be honest.) <\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd27 What does the mod do?<\/p>\n
Currently, this mod only overcomes a few bugs regarding the respawn process on the WLC server.
\nHowever, more features may be added in the future, who knows?<\/p>\n

### Example usage of the mod
\n<\/p>\n
Your inputs automatically get locked during respawn procedures while playing WLC. Locking the inputs prevents a desync bug that would stop the boat in place (see next GIF).<\/p>\n

### Desync bug (could otherwise occur when not using the mod)
\n<\/p>\n
Without the mod, a desync can happen between the client and the server, *causing your velocity to get zeroed right after getting launched*, which is problematic in many ways:
\n1. It can lead to a buggy, bad experience for the player.
\n2. It can be exploited to save yourself from falling off the track.<\/p>\n

### The alternative solution is sadge
\n<\/p>\n
A different solution for players without the mod is to have an inventory (made transparent (albeit dark) with a resource pack) open up right before launching, in order to prevent players from inputting and causing the bug. However,
\n1. This is not a perfect solution (there are still ways to get around it), and
\n2. It looks terrible to have the inventory flash on screen, leading to a lower quality of life.<\/p>\n
Therefore, I have decided to not respawn players with velocity if they do not have the mod. This means that it could be exploited to save a OneBoat Completion to simply pause and unpause your Run\/MiniRun. Thus, OneBoat Completions *require* the mod to be installed.<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udd30 What is World’s Longest Course (WLC)?
\nWorld’s Longest Course (WLC) is an ongoing project that I started back in _late 2021_ with the goal of making the **longest ice boat racing course of all time**. Its expansive road explores all kinds of different terrain and scenery, with trophies and other collectables to collect along the way!<\/p>\n
