Minecraft 1.9 was called the Combat Update and it completely changed how weapons and other combat related things in the game worked. Many players still prefer the older combat system and therefore play on pre-1.9 versions of the game. Old Combat Mod brings some of the pre 1.9 mechanics like swing hand animation and no cooldown into the latest versions of the game.
