Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.21. 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.
StrikeAfterSwing delays mob melee damage until the attack swing animation finishes.
In vanilla Minecraft, many mobs deal melee damage immediately when the attack starts, even though the swing animation is still playing. This mod changes that behavior so the damage lands at the end of the swing instead.
Features:
- Delays non-player mob melee damage until the swing animation finishes
- If the target moves out of range before the delayed hit lands, the attack is cancelled
- Keeps player attacks unchanged
- Makes melee combat timing feel more consistent with attack animations
- Works through mixins with minimal gameplay changes beyond attack timing
