🍎 Smart Gap – Perfect Combat Timing
Smart Gap is a streamlined Fabric utility mod designed to make your healing process in PvP as efficient as possible. No more manual scrolling or mis-timed weapon switches—let the mod handle the logistics while you focus on the fight.
✨ Main Features:
One-Key Healing: Press X (default) to instantly select a Golden Apple from your hotbar.
Smart Prioritization: The mod automatically detects both regular and Enchanted Golden Apples (God Apples). It will prioritize Enchanted Gaps first to save your life in sticky situations.
Auto Weapon-Switch: This is the game-changer. As soon as you finish the eating animation, the mod automatically switches back to your Sword. If no sword is found, it switches to your Axe.
Passive Assistance: The auto-switch feature works even if you didn't use the hotkey! If you manually select an apple and eat it, Smart Gap will still help you swap back to your weapon instantly.
Anti-Cheat Safe: The mod only interacts with the client-side SelectedSlot. It simulates standard player behavior (like scrolling or pressing a number key), making it safe for use on most competitive servers.
🛠 Installation:
Ensure Fabric Loader is installed for 1.21.1.
Place the Smart Gap JAR file into your .minecraft/mods folder.
Launch the game and find the "Eat Smart Gap" keybind in your Controls menu to customize it.
💡 Why use Smart Gap?
In fast-paced PvP, every millisecond counts. Manually switching from your sword to a gap and back again is prone to human error. Smart Gap removes that friction, ensuring your weapon is always ready the moment your health starts regenerating.
