Better Armed Bedwars
by LiamS-H
Better Armed Bedwars changes the sounds, animations and weapon reload behavior of the Armed Bedwars game mode on Hypixel for Minecraft 1.8.9 with Forge.
What it does
Client-side sounds, animations and models are replaced for the Armed Bedwars mode on Hypixel. Sound Distinction separates sound sources that used to share one sound, so each source gets its own. Reload Animations adds distinct reload sounds, and the weapon reload sound matches the animation. Removing the animation played when items change durability is also part of the changes, and a new, improved texture pack comes with the mod.
The mod is entirely cosmetic and was made with Hypixel's Allowed Modifications in mind. Its author notes that the mod cannot ensure compliance with server rules, and that using it is at the player's own risk, including the penalties a server may apply. Aesthetic modifications change only how the game looks and feels, without changing gameplay. The mod requires Optifine to function properly. Only the client needs it, so players join without a server-side install. The package is published for Forge on 1.8.9 only, with v1.0.2 as the latest beta file, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, so the code is not open source.
