About this Mod
NO PORT TO FORGE PLANNED! (but feel free to port it by yourself and link it)
The mod is fully configurable to enable only changes that you like
Description
This mod aims to improve Minecraft's combat features. Although I added some features from the Java Combat update snapshots, the goal of this mod is neither to copy exactly those features, nor all of them. I also added some original features, so there are a few new new mechanics. Feel free to ask for new features or changes in the comment section =)
One of the biggest feature of this mod is the ability to change any tools/weapons attributes (attack damage, attack speed AND attack range!) of Minecraft vanilla and even most tools/weapons from your favorite mods!
This is a short description, full description below.
