Better Combat Mod (26.3, 1.20.1) – Animated Combat System

Better Combat Mod is a mod that incorporates combat animations and interactions from Minecraft Dungeons, another game by Mojang that is much more focused on combat. Minecraft has very few combat animations, unlike Minecraft Dungeons, which is heavily focused on that. With Better Combat, the combat style inspired by Minecraft Dungeons has been implemented in Minecraft Java, allowing players to enjoy better animations.

Features:

• Weapons have combos (each attack in the combo can be different in many ways)
• Better weapon idle and attack animations
• Upswing weapon before hitting for natural look and feel
• No more pixel hunting for target in front, accurate weapon swing calculation (based on OBB+SAT)
• Hitting multiple enemies with a single strike
• Weapon attributes are synchronized (server sends to client)
• Bundled resources: weapon animations, weapon sounds, weapon attribute presets
• Integrate any weapon from any mod by just creating data files
• Attacking with dual wielded weapons (held weapons are used alternated, +20% attack speed while dual wielding, Server configurable)
• Two-handed weapons ignore offhand slot (melee and ranged weapons also supported)
• Movement speed reduction while attacking (Server configurable)
• Cancel attack during upswing (aka “feint”) (Client configurable)
• Hold attack key to spam attack (Client configurable)
• Target in hitbox indication (Client configurable)
• Swing thru grass (Client configurable)
• Can disable mining with weapons (Client configurable)
• Sweeping Edge enchantment reworked
