Description from the author on Modrinth

This mod overrides the input handler to work with SDL, which results in faster input handling. It also makes holding to use while waiting for a cooldown faster by sending the action the instant the cooldown ends, instead of the random 4-tick delay (this means it can be the first tick, but you could also end up waiting 3 ticks, which this mod fixes).
