AliveCombat

AliveCombat is committed to making Minecraft’s combat feel more alive by refining vanilla combat mechanics. It enhances responsiveness and targeting logic, with a focus on fluid melee interactions and more intuitive aiming behavior. All features are client-side only and fully configurable in-game, allowing for a lightweight and flexible experience.

Combat Enhancements

• Auto Attack System Supports two modes:
• Click Mode: triggers a short burst of automatic attacks
• Press Mode: continuously attacks while holding the attack key

• Continuous Attack (No Miss Penalty) Missed attacks no longer reset attack strength, allowing smoother combat flow.

• Attack While Using Items Enables attacking while using items (excluding shields), improving combat flexibility.

Advanced Targeting System

• Pass-Through Targeting Allows aiming through:
• Collisionless blocks (e.g. grass, vines)
• Entities in death animation
• Allied entities (e.g. pet wolfs, pet cats)

• Conditional Pass-Through Behavior When any of the following conditions are met, pass-through targeting for collisionless blocks and allied entities can be automatically enabled (configurable):
• While holding a tool (For example, when tall grass obstructs the player’s view while holding a sword, the targeting system will automatically ignore the grass and target the hostile entity behind it.)
• When interaction is blocked (For example, when a pet obstructs an interactable wooden door in the player’s line of sight, the targeting system will automatically ignore the pet and target the door instead.)

• Tool Special Case Blocks that are suitable for the currently held tool will not be ignored by the targeting system.

• Toggle Key Support Added a configurable keybinding for quickly toggling pass-through targeting in-game. (Unassigned by default.)

UI & Feedback Improvements

• Melee Sweep Particles Adds visual sweep particles when performing melee attacks.

• Smooth Attack Indicator Adds interpolation to the attack cooldown bar for smoother visual feedback.

• Charge Indicator for Ranged Weapons Displays charge progress using the attack indicator when using ranged weapons.
