Out of Combat

Overview

Out of Combat mod.

Support nearly ALL major versions, namely, 1.12.2, 1.16.1-1.16.5, 1.18-1.18.2, 1.20.1, 1.20.6.

As what its name represents, it brings a simple but easily configurable Out-of-Combat mechanic into Minecraft.

Simple means its logic and mechanic are both simple:

(T1, T2, T3 are independent variables, representing number of Minecraft game ticks)

Detect if player has not attacked for a given time T1 / been damaged for a given time T2.
If player has neither attacked for T1 nor been damaged for T2, start to count the out-of-combat time.

If player attacks / is damaged, clear the corresponding timer and the out-of-combat timer.
If out-of-combat time exceeded T3, player is out of combat.

3 NBT tags updated by events serve as timers, to fulfill the logic above.

Besides, an additional countdown timer will pause the ticking of the out-of-combat timer, but not clear it. It can be used in other combat mechanics.

For example, assuming player can get "Invulnerable"-like abilities in your modpack. when those abilities are activated, they may still in combat, but will not be damaged. If you would like to do so, you may let this countdown timer countdown for the time equals to the abilities' durations. So that the out-of-combat timer will wait for the abilities to deactivate, and continues after that.

NBT Names and Structure

These 4 NBT tags are saved in player's persisted data: ForgeData/PlayerPersisted, with the structure below.

ForgeData: { PlayerPersisted: { out_of_combat: { noAttackingTime: 0L // No Attacking Timer noAttackedTime: 0L // Not Being Damaged Timer stopOutOfCombatTimer: 0L // Countdown. Before This is count to 0, Out-of-Combat timer will not tick. outOfCombatTime: 0L // Out of Combat Timer } } }

That means, you can easily manipulate the value of each of them with your mods or CraftTweaker/KubeJS scripts or any other scripts like them.

No need for complex APIs or special integrations/compatibilities.
