The overlay is layered on top of Epic Knights' own renderer, so both mods play together without visual conflicts.  --- ## Compatibility & Configuration - ✅ Built for **Minecraft Forge 1.20.1** > Recommended version: `1.20.1 - 47.4.0` - ✅ Includes **English, German, and Turkish** translations - ✅ Mod-compatible: all loot uses vanilla table paths, so modded structures benefit automatically - ✅ **Epic Knights compatible** – banner patterns render on all paintable Epic Knights shields - ✅ Banner patterns render on shields at **100% scale** – pixel-perfect, no distortion --- ## Feedback & Issues Found a bug or have suggestions?
