Old PVP Combat
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
OldPVP
Brings back pre-1.9 combat by removing the attack cooldown for all players on the server.
How it works
When a player joins or respawns, the mod runs:
attribute <name> minecraft:generic.attack_speed base set 9999999999.0
for each online player by name. No selectors, no client-side code — just a direct attribute command executed through the server console.
Command
/oldpvp <true|false>
| Value | Effect |
|---|---|
true |
Enables legacy combat — attack speed set to 9999999999.0 (no cooldown) |
false |
Restores vanilla combat — attack speed reset to 4.0 |
Requires OP level 2. Applies instantly to every online player.
