Better Combat [Fabric & Forge]

⚔️ Immerse Yourself in the Thrilling Melee Combat System from Minecraft Dungeons

This mod fundamentally transforms the familiar combat mechanics in Minecraft, offering engaging and spectacular gameplay that will make every battle truly unforgettable.

🎯 Key Features

Stunning Attack Animations

This mod includes a rich collection of animations for one-handed, two-handed weapons and dual-wielding combat. Every strike looks realistic and impressive.

Intelligent Collision Detection

Forget about precise cursor aiming! Now you just need to swing your weapon, and it will hit everything in its path. Perfect for third-person gameplay.

Natural Strike Physics

Attacks feature a wind-up phase before the actual hit, adding realism and tactical depth to combat, just like in real sword fighting.

Combat Combinations

Some weapon types have unique attack sequences that open up new tactical possibilities in battles.

Dual-Wield Combat

Use any combination of one-handed weapons in both hands! Press the attack key for alternating strikes with main and off-hand.

Two-Handed Weapons

Weapons marked as two-handed automatically block the off-hand slot when equipped.

Improved Sweeping Edge

Attacks hitting multiple targets deal reduced damage. To deal full weapon damage to all enemies, you need the Sweeping Edge enchantment.

Automatic Attacks

Hold the attack key for continuous strikes at a set rate (configurable in settings).

Through Obstacles

Attack through grass and other zero-hardness blocks instead of mining them (optional feature).

Universal Compatibility

Automatic support for most mods. Weapons without special attribute files receive appropriate presets based on item ID.

🔧 Compatibility Configuration

Add unique behavior to any weapon from any mods by creating simple JSON data files. The system is modular and easily expandable.

⚙️ Configuration

Client-side settings are accessible through the Mod Menu mod.

Server-side settings are located in files:

• Main parameters: config/bettercombat/server.json5
• Default compatibility: config/bettercombat/fallback_compatibility.json

Configuration files are automatically created with default values upon first loading any game world.

🔗 Compatibility with Other Mods

The project is developed with open source and modular architecture for maximum compatibility. However, mods that change the same mechanics (such as dual-wielding mods) will not be compatible.
