Clicking
by gloww_ons
Clicking changes the combat mode of Minecraft back toward the older action-game style, for players who prefer it.
What it does
Clicking alters how attacks work so that combat follows an older, faster approach, with the attack charge no longer gating each hit. The author decided to bring back the older action-game style after finding that many players liked clicking quickly without waiting for the power bar to fill. Because the change affects how hits are dealt, the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, across 28 release versions 1.16 – 1.21.4, with 1.3.2 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Older combat style
Attacks follow the earlier combat mode of Minecraft instead of the attack cooldown introduced later.
Rapid clicking
Players can strike repeatedly by clicking without waiting for the attack power bar to recharge.
Action-game feel
The mode is meant for players who want combat that resembles older action games rather than the current pacing.

What the author says
Do you like the action game update? More than half of the players hate it. They think 1.8 was better. So I decided to make this mod that will bring back the old action game. You can just clicking players as before, without waiting for the power scale to fill up!
