About this Mod
This datapack/mod aims to add key features from the original Combat Test Snapshots (CTS) along with some of our own features, such as those from other datapacks we have made like Power Crossbows.
All Changes from VANILLA:
- Weapons now have individual Attack Reach values
- Swords and any other non-specified items have 3 Attack Reach
- Axes have 2.5 Attack Reach
- Tridents have 4 Attack Reach
- Shield delay removed
- Shield Blocking angle reduced to 90 degrees (from 180)
- Swords can now block again, negating 50% of incoming damage
- Crossbows can be enchanted with Power
- Stews can be eaten multiple times (5x for Mushroom & Beet, 4x for Rabbit Stew. Suspicious Stew remains 1x use)
- Potions can be stacked (Must be held to update the max stack component first)
This pack MAY HAVE CONFLICTING EFFECTS WITH:
- POWERful Crossbows (https://modrinth.com/datapack/stronger-crossbows)
