About this Mod
Normal1.8zer
![]()
Based on NoChangeTheGame by Cecer, but minified & up to date
Compatibility tool for 1.8 servers that support joining on the latest versions of Minecraft (such as Hypixel).
Hypixel has recently added sword blocking on vanilla 1.21.4+, removing the need for a lot of changes in NoChangeTheGame.
To reflect on that change, I've created this mod which uses much of the same code as NoChangeTheGame, but with a heavy reliance on Animatium (https://modrinth.com/mod/animatium) for the rest of the features.
Big thanks to Cecer for making the original mod, & big thanks to the Animatium team for their work. This mod should work on any 1.8-based server which added 1.21.4 support & sword blocking, but this mod is primarily made for use on Hypixel
