GoodMC: Legacy Combat Restoration

GoodMC is a lightweight combat mod which overhauls the combat system in Minecraft to what it was prior to the Combat Update (1.9). 😲 Comes with a built-in config. No need to mess with files outside the game.

In addition, it brings back the old animations of blockhitting, swing, itemheld and more from Minecraft 1.7.10.

The mod is completely configurable in-game!

Core Features:

Legacy attack speed: globally removes attack cooldown from the game
Sweep attacks: disables sweep attacks unless the used tool has Sweeping Edge
Classic Blockhitting: Re-enables the ability to block swords by right clicking with them. It
looks and functions exactly as it did in Minecraft 1.7.10
Damage of axes nerfed back to the way it was up until Minecraft 1.8, though they are still useful for disabling shields

Technical compatibility:

Minecraft 1.12.2 (versions for this mod for the latest Minecraft versions coming soon) No dependencies required

Perfect mod for private servers and singleplayer survival worlds for players who want to play the latest versions with all the modern features and mods but without the combat from Minecraft 1.9

Server compatibility: Must be installed both on the client and the server

⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️ GoodMC modifies core combat mechanics (attack cooldown, blockhitting, etc.) Using this mod on public servers may result in an automatic ban by anticheat systems. Use at your own risk on public networks
