Cataclysm: Spellbooks & BetterCombat - Compatibility
by rymusov
With Cataclysm & BetterCombat - Compatibility installed, weapons from Cataclysm: Spellbooks and L_Ender's Cataclysm work with the Better Combat fighting system.
What it does
The mod is a datapack and compatibility layer that ties Cataclysm: Spellbooks to Better Combat. Before it, some weapons from Cataclysm: Spellbooks did not work properly under the new combat system. The layer lets players use these unique weapons with Better Combat's dynamic combat without those problems, and it covers the weapons of L_Ender's Cataclysm as well.
Better Combat, Cataclysm: Spellbooks, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks and L_Ender's Cataclysm are required, so all four must be installed alongside it. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Latest files are 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.1.
