Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20.6 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.19.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.18.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.17.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.16.5 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.16.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge
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.

Do you hate the post-1.9 Minecraft combat system?

ME TOO! SO DOWNLOAD CLASSIC COMBAT AND BRING IT BACK!

Overview

Classic Combat removes the attack cooldown from all weapons in the game. You'll always hit for the attack value of the weapon you're using just like Minecraft before the 1.9 Combat Update.

It's 100% server-compatible, mod compatible, and fast. It won't affect game performance in any way.

You can install this mod on a server without requiring your players to also install it.

Uninstalling Classic Combat will not affect your players, player data, or worlds.

FAQ

Can I use this mod in a modpack?

Feel free to use Classic Combat in your modpack, just provide credit and preferably link back to the download page. PMs asking for permission to use in a modpack will not be answered.

Some weapons are too strong, can you modify their damage amount?

No, Classic Combat only removes the attack cooldown. It does not and will not modify any weapon's base damage amount.

Will you update for [insert version here]?

If it's a newer version than downloads available now, probably! If it's an older version of Minecraft, then no, sorry!
