Are you tired of effortlessly winning fights?
Are the randoms on whatever server you play just too bad at the game?
Introducing, Reach Reducer™, the mod guaranteed to make PVP a struggle for you again! With Reach Reducer™ you can decrease your block placement and attack distance to give everyone who fights you an unfair advantage so you can brag to them about how they would've lost to you even if they had reach hacks! Don't believe us? Hear a word from our happy customers, both sweaty players who've used our mod and people who've gotten stabbed by their significantly shorter swords.
"When he had reach reducer enabled, I was finally able to land 3 hits in a 1v1 against LordofLightning." -TheSolarray
"LMAO" -Prusso, CGQ47ye
"Imagine losing to me when I have less reach." -LordofLightning
So what are you waiting for? Download today to make combat challenging again, and if it already is challenging for you, download to increase your suffering!
To adjust your reach while in-game you require Mod Menu and Cloth Config. To adjust your reach hit ESC while in-game, click on the "Mods" button and search for reach reducer, then click on the icon with 3 bars and circles in the top right hand corner which will bring up a menu where you can type in your reach distance for block placement and attack for both creative and survival mode. Note that you cannot set these higher than the default/vanilla values for obvious reasons.
