Better Tactical Presentation
by Flydefeima
Better Tactical Presentation changes how TaCZ guns are held and shown, adding a lean mode that players switch on with a key or a right-click.
What it does
The mod adds tactical weapon presentation to the Timeless and Classics Zero gun mod. By default the B key switches between Aim Mode and Lean Mode, and a short right-click toggles aiming while a long right-click triggers a lean, which is released to recover. Lean can also be turned off in the config, returning TaCZ's own crouch-lean behavior, and sprinting is automatically disabled while leaning. The crosshair hides during a lean, and the spread while leaning can be adjusted through the config file.
Installation needs [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero and PlayerAnimator, which is required for the third-person lean animation. The third-person animation is optional and can be turned off. TaCZ-Labs Compatibility is listed as a works-with addon. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it themselves. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker, and files target 1.20.1 on Forge.
