Aerial Combat
by BurgyPlus
Aerial Combat, a NeoForge mod by BurgyPlus, adds a togglable combat mode in which attacks send mobs upward and players can keep moving in the air.
What it does
When the combat mode is enabled, most attacks lift the struck entity into the air instead of pushing it back. Sprint-hitting deals 2 extra damage and sends the target further, and sneak-hitting deals 4 extra damage and sends the target down. An entity knocked into the air can be struck again before it lands, and letting it fall to the ground then deals fall damage and gives the player extra height for the next jump.
Players gain infinite air jumps, so aerial movement can be chained into combos. Falling is faster, and the combat mode makes the player take fall damage after a mid-air drop. Attacks executed correctly emit particles, and an optional Auto Lock Mode turns the player to face the entity they hit.
The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, across five release versions 1.21 – 1.21.4, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. The server and every player need the mod installed. The author lists an issue tracker for reports.
Key features
Togglable combat mode
The aerial combat mode can be switched on and off, so attacks keep their normal behavior when it is disabled.
Upward launches
Most attacks send the hit entity upward, and sprint and sneak hits change how far and in which direction it travels.
Infinite air jumps
Players can jump repeatedly in the air, with the jump key set to space by default, which increases air time.
Auto Lock Mode
An optional mode turns the player to face the entity being hit, keeping the target in view during combos.
