Apothic Combat
by muon-rw
Apothic Combat is a Forge and NeoForge compatibility layer that connects the Apotheosis item system with Better Combat's weapon attributes.
What it does
Apotheosis groups weapons into a Heavy Weapon category that loosely parallels Better Combat's two-handed weapons, though the two systems are unrelated. Apothic Combat bridges them: every two-handed Better Combat weapon is registered automatically as a Heavy Weapon for Apotheosis, so the category covers them without manual setup.
The mod also takes over reach handling. It strips the reach attribute from every weapon, which leaves the Apotheosis Attack Range affix with no effect, and it keeps that affix from appearing on items at all. Weapons that still depend on reach can have their attributes adjusted through the mod's settings.
Apothic Combat requires Better Combat and Apotheosis, which cannot be listed as a dependency on Modrinth. Apothic Combat is published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.1 and 1.2.1+1.21.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest files. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Heavy Weapon registration
Two-handed Better Combat weapons are registered automatically as Heavy Weapons for Apotheosis.
Reach attribute removal
The reach attribute is removed from all weapons, replacing reach-based stats with the mod's own handling.
Attack Range affix control
The Apotheosis Attack Range affix is kept from appearing, so loot does not roll a stat that has no effect.
Weapon attribute changes
Attributes of weapons that relied on reach can be modified to keep their behavior working.

How it compares
SpartanApothicCompat is a compatibility mod that is also open source under the MIT License, published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server. Apothic Category Compat is open source under the MIT License, covers 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, and is server-side only, so players need nothing installed. Apotheosis itself is open source under the MIT License, with a wider range of 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 and the same client and server environment.

Note that Apotheosis is not available on Modrinth, so it can't be marked as a dependency. It is required.
