Mace Cooldown
Lightweight mod that adds a configurable cooldown to the mace smash attack when attacking a player
About this Mod
Flopasss' Mace Cooldown
A lightweight, highly configurable Minecraft mod designed to balance the Mace in PvP combat. This mod introduces a customizable cooldown specifically for player-versus-player interactions, ensuring the Mace remains a powerful tool without being overpowered.
Key Features
Targeted Balancing: Adds a cooldown to the Mace only when attacking other players.
Smart Mechanics: Choose whether the cooldown applies to all Mace hits or specifically to high-damage "smash" attacks.
Flexible Restrictions: Configure whether the cooldown prevents all Mace usage or only blocks subsequent smash attacks.
Player Preference System: An optional system that lets players decide how they want to fight. If both the attacker and target have the cooldown disabled in their settings, the cooldown is bypassed. If either player prefers the cooldown, it remains active.
