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.

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.

Epic Knights x BetterCombat

A (wrapped) datapack reworking the BetterCombat integration for Epic Knights

What does it do?

Epic Knights integration of Better Combat is good. But most weapon types share the same pattern, which makes combat feel a bit repetitive regardless of what you're wielding.

This datapack tries to fix that by giving every weapon type a unique combo sequence built around how that weapon is somehow actually used.
