Fine-tune how fast everything plays with the speed slider. Anywhere from a 0.1Ć speed to an unhinged 5.0Ć speed.
ā Works in Multiplayer
Here's how it works:
- Server has Descriptive installed ā your styled name is shown to everyone automatically, no extra setup needed.
- Vanilla or unmodded server ā Descriptive will ask if you want to connect to an external relay server so other Descriptive users can still see your name. This connection is opt-in, you can enable this function in the Descriptive Settings > Toggle Relay... Menu.
