Cataclysm & BetterCombat - Compatibility
by rymusov
Cataclysm & BetterCombat - Compatibility is a datapack bridge that lets weapons from L_Ender's Cataclysm work inside the Better Combat fighting system.
What it does
Weapons from Cataclysm did not always behave correctly when played alongside Better Combat, which replaces the standard combat system. This compatibility layer closes that gap, so unique Cataclysm weapons keep their intended function while the dynamic combat mechanics of Better Combat apply to them without problems.
Both Better Combat and L_Ender's Cataclysm are required dependencies, and the package is published for Forge and NeoForge across the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 game versions. Because it is a datapack, it is also available as a Data pack for server platforms. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Integrated Cataclysm weapons
Cataclysm weapons are brought into Better Combat's attack handling, so they work with the new combat system.
Attack range customization
Attack range can be set for each weapon, including the weapon type, to match how each Cataclysm weapon should reach.
Editable weapon values
Files include notes beside each value, so server owners can adjust weapon settings with little risk of error.

How it compares
EC L_Ender's Cataclysm Plugin is a Forge and NeoForge plugin for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that runs on client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved. Mowzie's Cataclysm covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 with the same client and server environment and license. Better Combat x Cataclysm Spellbooks Compatibility is server-side with an optional client, under the MIT License, and targets 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it covers spellbook weapons rather than Cataclysm weapons.
