Description
This mod adds a key to lock on to nearby entities, similar to the lock on feature in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
While locked on, tab is used to switch targets, or press the lock on keybind to exit lock on mode.
Killing the current target, the target no longer being visible, or leaving the world will leave lock on mode.
Note that while lock on can track an entity as long as it's visible, it will not select mobs that are more than 10 blocks away.
