Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
Spen's Auto Attack Mod
A client-side utility mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that automates your combat.
Features
- Smart Auto Attack: Automatically attacks hostile mobs when you look at them (with your crosshair)
- Auto-Equip Shield: When projectile-firing mobs are nearby (Skeletons, Ghasts, Pillagers, etc.) it automatically moves a shield from your hotbar to your offhand
- Fully Configurable: Both features are fully customizable and can be toggled with in-game keybinds. A detailed config menu (compatible with Configured by MrCrayfish) allows you to choose exactly which mobs trigger each feature
Note: This is a utility mod designed for standard gameplay. It is not intended for use as a cheat, which is why it does not attack other players !!
Installation
I recommend using SpammyCombat by PaintNinja (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/spammycombat) alongside this mod ATM, until I update the auto attack timing
Auto-Shield Detection Triggers Are:
Skeleton: within 16 blocks
Pillager: within 8 blocks
Ghast: within 64 blocks
Blaze: within 48 blocks
Shulker: within 16 blocks
If any of these mobs are detected within their specified range, and your off-hand slot is empty, the mod will find the first shield in your hotbar and move it to your off-hand.
FAQ
- Q = Does the auto attack work for animals?
- A = No ! It only works for entities with the "monster" tag (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Monster)
- Q = Will the shield equip auto deflect projectiles for me?
- A = It will not raise the shield for you. The blocking is still 100% your control.
- Q = Can I keep the shield in my inventory?
- A = No ! You must keep a shield in your hot bar, slots 1-9 for the mod to auto throw it into your offhand
