About this Mod

BetterCrit rewards consecutive critical hits, on all mobs excluding players and bosses.

How does this work?

Landing a critical attack stuns and damages your target.
Chaining crits builds up knockback (configurable)
The mob is sent launching after a configurable amount of consecutive hits.

Performance

Should have almost zero effect on perfomance and is comprised of only a few mixins.
