Description

I love the original Better Mob Combat mod idea for giving mobs and NPCs from CustomNPC mod, but i found it not doing great with changing NPCs and mobs combat AI so i decided to do a purely visual version of the mod, leaving only animations to play when they attack.

The way this fork does that is by changing idle, walking and attacking animations of (almost) all humanoid non-playable characters when they wield Better combat compatible weapons without touching any part of their AI so it should be practically compatible with everything.

Versions of mods i tested it with (Those mods are obviously required to run the mod):
- Better Combat - 1.8.6
- Player Animator - 1.0.2-rc1
- Mob Player Animator - 1.3.3

BMCV MIGHT work on other versions of those mods but require fixes related to the original Better Mob Combat mod.

P.S. Im not planning to port this mod to any other MC version, cause this was built for inner use but decided to share with public.
