Better Combat Punchy Fix
by Pepitaaf
Better Combat Punchy Fix stops first-person weapons from rendering twice during Better Combat attacks on NeoForge when Punchy and certain shader pipelines are in use.
What it does
When a shader pipeline draws the held item a second time during a Better Combat swing, the result is a duplicated weapon on screen. The fix suppresses the vanilla and Punchy first-person pass for that frame only, leaving Better Combat's real attack animation layer visible. Attack animations stay intact and Punchy remains active between swings.
Once an attack ends, the fix resets Punchy's transient pose state so the weapon returns to its normal position without leftover offsets. Because the change is limited to rendering, it does not alter damage, cooldowns, hitboxes, attack speed or networking, and server behavior is untouched. The mod is client-side only, so vanilla servers and modded servers need nothing from it.
Both required dependencies must be installed alongside this fix on NeoForge. The fix covers game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and its latest file, 1.0.1, targets 1.21.11 and sits on the beta channel. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Client-side compatibility fix for using Better Combat and Punchy together with shaders on NeoForge. Some shader pipelines can make the first-person item render twice during Better Combat attacks when Punchy is installed.
