AliveCombat
AliveCombat, a Forge and NeoForge client mod, changes how melee attacks, targeting and hit timing feel during play without altering vanilla combat rules on servers.
What it does
The mod refines vanilla combat with smoother attacks and more responsive targeting, aiming to make fights feel more immediate. Its Auto Attack System offers two modes: Click Mode fires a short burst of automatic attacks per press, while Press Mode keeps attacking as long as the attack key is held. A Continuous Attack Miss Penalty can be applied so that held attacks that miss carry a cost.
Targeting logic is also adjusted. Pass-Through Targeting lets attacks reach entities behind collisionless blocks such as grass and vines, and an option allows attacks using items. Entities play a death animation. All features are configurable in game, and the mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Players in multiplayer should still follow each server's rules on gameplay and automation.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.11. The latest Forge file is 1.5.9 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file is 1.5.9 for 1.21.11, both dated 2026-08-06. The license is custom and the mod is not open source; source code and an issue tracker are publicly linked.
