Better Combat Integrations
by arcanealloy
Better Combat Integrations adds new melee combat animations for mobs from other mods, so their attacks look different in the fight.
What it does
The mod adds several sets of combat animations and applies them to mobs that other mods introduce. It covers creatures from Bygone Nether and Dungeons Mobs, as well as Guard Villagers, Illager Revolution, Meet Your Fight, Realm RPG, Pots Mimics and Savage & Ravage, and it revamps the animations of those mobs during fights. Each supported mod is optional, so only the mobs from mods that are installed receive the new animations.
Geckolib is required, because the animations are driven through it. The mod is published for Forge only, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4; the latest file is 1.19.2 for 1.19.4, dated 2024-08-14. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
