Better Combat

Engaging melee combat system inspired by Minecraft Dungeons

🎬 Spectacular Attack Animations

The mod offers diverse attack animations for one-handed, two-handed weapons and dual wielding combat.

🎯 Accurate Collision Detection

No more pixel-perfect aiming with the cursor. Simply swing your weapon and hit everything in its path. Now you can comfortably play in third-person view!

⚡ Natural Movements

Attacks feature a wind-up phase before the actual strike, making combat more realistic and fluid.

🔄 Combo Attacks

Some weapon types support sequences of different attacks, creating unique combat combinations.

⚔️ Dual Wielding

Ability to use any one-handed weapon in both hands simultaneously. Press the attack hotkey for alternating strikes with main and off-hand.

🌀 Reworked Sweeping Edge

When hitting multiple enemies with one swing, damage is distributed among them. To deal full damage to all targets, the Sweeping Edge enchantment is required.

🎮 Convenient Controls

Hold the attack key for automatic repetition of strikes with a set interval (configurable in settings).

🌿 Through Grass

Attack through blocks with zero hardness instead of mining them (configurable option).

🔧 Compatibility with Any Mods

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

📁 Weapon Behavior Configuration

Add unique or standard behavior for any weapon from any mods by creating JSON data files.

⚙️ Configuration

Client settings are accessible through Mod Menu. Server configuration files are located at:

• Main parameters: config/bettercombat/server.conf
• Fallback compatibility: config/bettercombat/fallback_config.conf

Files are automatically created with default settings upon first loading a game world.

🔗 Compatibility

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