Combat Old + New

I had a real omniman moment with my girl; I needed her to save me, but she ended up spamming hitting a mob, and we both ended up dying. I was pissed, but then I realized, what if I could make us both happy without forcing one of us to change?

So this mod was born.

Combat Old + New blends the fast, responsive feel of classic Minecraft sword combat with the timing and mechanics of modern combat.

Features

Spam-friendly sword attacks
Rapid sword hits still deal meaningful single-target damage instead of becoming nearly useless.

Charge-based damage
Waiting for your attack cooldown increases sword damage up to full vanilla strength and be able to crit/sweep.

Charge-based knockback
Sword knockback scales from 40% to 100% based on attack charge, making spam attacks much worse at pushing enemies away.

Server-friendly
Combat logic is handled server-side and is designed to work naturally in multiplayer.
