In the 1.8 and earlier versions of the game, the combat mechanics in Minecraft used to be different than how it is in the newer versions of the game. In the 1.8 version, weapons had no cooldown and you were able to hit a player multiple times in quick succession. But in the newer versions, this is not the case. The 1.8 version combat mechanics also allowed you to block attacks using your sword, which is not possible in the newer versions. Instant PvP Mod is for those players who want to bring the 1.8 Minecraft combat mechanics into the newer versions of the game. A detailed guide is given below.
