Combat Care
A client-side survival helper that automates smart food consumption, emergency Gapple usage, and safe offhand totem refills
⬇ Download on ModrinthCombat Care
Combat Care is a lightweight, client-only utility mod for Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1 designed to streamline essential combat survival tasks. Because it operates entirely on the client side using standard game mechanics, it is completely invisible to servers and safe from strict anti-cheat plugins.
🚀 Features
- Intelligent Food Selection: The mod automatically scans your hotbar and selects the food item with the highest combined nutrition and saturation values as soon as your hunger drops. Harmful items (like rotten flesh or pufferfish) are strictly ignored.
- Emergency Gapple Prioritization: If your health falls below 50%, the mod instantly switches to Golden Apples or Enchanted Golden Apples (Op-Gaps) to give you crucial regeneration. An intelligent built-in filter prevents wasting extra apples if the strong regeneration effect is already active.
- Shield Compatibility: If you are holding a shield in your offhand, the mod briefly releases the blocking action for a fraction of a second to initiate eating, ensuring your food consumption is never stuck.
- Safe Auto-Totem Refill: Whenever a Totem of Undying pops, the mod automatically searches your entire inventory for a replacement and equips it to your offhand. To protect you from strict server anti-cheat plugins, this action is executed with a randomized, human-like delay (0.4 to 0.75 seconds).
- Chest & Container Protection: The moment you open a chest, furnace, shulker box, or any other container GUI, the mod instantly suspends all automated actions. After closing the container, it stays paused for half a second so you can walk away without accidentally reopening it.
